Now is the Time: A Van Life Road Trip 🏆 2025 BIBA® Van Life Travel Winner!

Lovestruck and newly unemployed, Andrew Singer cashes in his savings to investigate a key question: Is #vanlife as awesome as it looks? After all, what could go wrong when two millennials—who have never used a saw before—attempt to convert a plumber’s van into a tiny home-on-wheels?

On this 13,000-mile road trip across the vast American West, Andrew and his partner Sarah battle pest… https://bestindiebookaward.com/live/product/now-is-the-time-a-van-life-road-trip/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon&utm_campaign=ReviveOldPost

We continued W to Monumento Natural Praia das Catedrais, where a series of arches resemble the flying buttresses of Gothic cathedrals; at low tide sea conditions didn’t allow us safe access (to the left/ west of the main stairs to the beach). Views from the cliff top platforms were underwhelming. Did you get a photo? If so do share!

Disappointed, we drove on to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Muralla Romana de Lugo | the Roman walls of Lugo—once the Roman colonial town of Lucus Augusti in the province of Hispania Tarraconensis. The walls were built in the 3rd C. CE to defend against local tribesmen & Germanic invaders. About 2.1km long, 4.2m wide & 8–12m in height, internal & external stone facings were supported by a cemented rubble core (📷1); you can walk the full length of the parapet. Originally featuring an incredible count of 88 towers, these were mostly semicircular at intervals of 5.4–12.8m with bases of dressed granite topped with slate (📷2); 49 are still intact. 5 of the current 10 gates are Roman in origin, including Porta de San Pedro (📷3); it was reconstructed in 1781. Many buildings within the walls are badly decayed; Lugo was nearly deserted during our visit. We looked through Sala Porta Miñá, a contemporary history museum, where they have an excavated stone-built Roman cloaca | sewer on display (📷4).

With the surge of fuel price, we released across web, Android and iOS the integration of real-time fuel prices near your spots, (France-only for now).

Pick your vehicle fuel type, search your spots and show the 5 nearest gas stations with fuel prices. Or display all gas stations on the map with a color scale icon relative to the price.

We hope this new feature helps in your roadtrips!

For our last night in Asturias we came to Salas (📷1); this historic village offers accommodation to pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago. What drew us here in a van, you might ask? Four reasons:

First, it has a highly-rated 👕 laundromat. After a little over a week on the road our attire was in need of refreshing.

Second, it was a comfortable 🗺️ distance between points-of-interest. Driving can be tiring, especially when narrow mountain roads are involved.

Third, it’s camper van/ motorhome friendly, providng free-to-use services:

🅿️ overnight legally in dedicated area
💧 potable water
💦 grey water disposal
🚾 toilet cassette emptying

Lastly, we also needed to buy 🛒 groceries. In addition to usual supplies we acquired the local specialty 🍪 biscuit, Carajitos (📷2). Available from La Casa del Profesor (est. 1918) on the main street, these soft & flavoursome hazelnut-based treats are apparently world famous in Asturias!
