Aires in Spain & France 2014


Campsites 2014

All satnav co-ordinates have been checked on Google Earth®
but are not guaranteed to be correct. Most aires are listed in the various online and printed guides.
Note: Our comments refer to facilities as we found them when we visited in April to June 2014. Some may not be open all year or may not be available due to fairs, events etc. We usually found free water taps or topped up when on campsites so didn't need to purchase jetons for bornes. Typical cost for fresh water was €2 to €4.
We rarely use electricity hookups on aires unless free. They are usually expensive and only for a
short time typically 2 hours although some aires now have individual hookup points.
