Search Results for: morocco After walking part of the Camino de Santiago, Bruno and I are officially into long-distance hikes. Though we didn’t have time to walk all of it, we sampled the Rota Vicentina, a new network of walking trails in Portugal’s south-west Algarve Coast. Here’s the story of our experience on the trail, and a request for help from our readers.  We’ve been really lucky with the weather in northern Spain these past few weeks, but it can’t last forever. It’s time to head south for the winter! We’ve started our southern migration to Morocco with a 6-day transit to the coast of Portugal. Read on to hear about all the awesome places we couldn’t visit along the way.  We’re not the only ones living a nomadic lifestyle in a home-on-wheels. Just meet fellow overlanders Frank and Sharon if you don’t believe me. We first met them a couple years ago in Uganda, but recently reconnected with them in Spain’s Pyrenees Mountains. They had some very exciting news to share with us!  In this post, we answer transportation questions pertaining to overland travel: what documents and objects you require to drive in a foreign country, why you need a carnet de passage en douane, how to transport a vehicle on a container ship or a ferry, and what to expect when driving in different countries.  Wandering Footsteps will soon be heading back on the road! Over the next several months, we’ll be sharing stories and photos about hikes in Spain, coastal drives through the Iberian Peninsula, bush-camping in the Sahara, souqs and food in Morocco, and more. Subscribe and stay-tuned for an exciting and eventful fall and winter 2015! |
