Download or read book Surf Stay Spain and Portugal written by Veerle Helsen and published by Lannoo Meulenhoff - Belgium. This book was released on 2018-08-29 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lifestyle journalist Veerle Helsen went 'out-of-office' for six months, bought an old camper and travelled by herself along the Spanish and Portuguese coastline. Ever true to her motto "surf, see, sleep & eat", she combines three of her passions in this book: surfing, travelling and discovering hidden gems. How about a heavenly holiday mansion where there's a tree growing through the roof? Or an architectural public swimming pool that's hidden between rocks and the sea? She searched and found camper spots so quiet she could stay there for days without seeing another soul. Secret beaches that aren't indicated on the map where one can sit back and watch the waves. Veerle Helsen dismisses the classic tourist image of Spain and Portugal and writes about a completely different world: untouched, fierce and free, with little beach bars serving the very fish they caught earlier that day, and roads wrapping themselves around cliffs and dunes, sheltered by pine trees and maintaining the view of sandcastles on the beach. While she drove, her drone was beside her on the passenger seat and her surf board was on the roof. This guide transcends the clichés and avoids the classic tourist traps. 'Sea' you soon!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lifestylejournaliste Veerle Helsen stelde haar out of office in op zes maanden, kocht een oude camper en reisde in haar eentje langs de surfkusten van Spanje en Portugal. Onder het motto 'to surf, see, sleep & eat' combineert ze drie passies: surfen, reizen, architectuur en het ontdekken van de nieuwste plekjes. Ontdek een paradijselijke vakantievilla waar de bomen door het dak groeien. Of een architecturaal bijzonder openbaar zwembad verborgen tussen rotsen aan de zee. Geheime stranden die niet op de kaart staan. Ze veegt het klassieke imago van Spanje en Portugal van de kaart en schrijft over een andere wereld. Ongerepter, wilder, woester. Waar strandbarretjes vis rechtstreeks op je bord serveren. Waar wegen slingeren langs kliffen en duinen, onder schermen van dennenbomen, met zicht op zandkastelen. Deze gids gaat voorbij aan de clichés en mijdt de klassieke toeristische verhalen en routes. Sea you soon.

This is a look at taking life slowly. It's about taking the time to enjoy journeys and places for their own sake. It's about stopping and putting the kettle on. Stopping to take a picture. Stopping to enjoy stopping. How are you going to do it? In a camper van or a motorhome, of course. In this book we define the best driving routes around Spain and Portugal for camper vans and motorhomes. We show you the coolest places to stay, what to see, what to do and explain why it's special. We meander around Spain and Portugal on the most breathtaking roads, chugging up mountain passes and pootling along the coast. We show you stuff that's fun, often free. We include the best drives for different kinds of drivers; for walkers, culture-buffs, sea-swimmers and sun-worshippers. We include the steepest, the bendiest, the most picturesque and most interesting. And you don't even have to own a camper van or motorhome – we'll tell you the many places you can rent one to take you on the journey. All of this is interspersed with beautiful photos, handy maps and quirky travel writing from the king of camper vans and motorhomes, Martin Dorey. So if all you want to do is flick through on a cold day and plan your next outing, you'll be transported (albeit slowly) to cobbled streets, beaches, mountains and winding roads that make you want to turn the key and go, go, go!
