Hi from Spain

retenllo · Oct 31, 2020

Hi! I'm Rebeca, from Spain. I am from Valencia, but I live near Barcelona, in the Penedès wine region. You can contact me if you come nearby!

Since august I own a T5 Comfortline from 2011. Due to Covid and restrictions I haven't had the opportunity to enjoy my cali much, but I have already spent a lot of money buying the recommended items that I read on your threads!

I've been in a van forum from Spain for a long time before I bought my cali, but I found this forum and I think it's the best one for a California owner :thumb

Hope we read/see each other around!

Hi and welcome.

Not sure about your choice of colour

. Mine came with the steel wheels with the wheel covers too, but I changed them to the Colmar rims.

Who knows when and where we might come across each other?

Welcome to the club. Went to Valencia last year for The Falles festival. Incredible spectacle. Fantastic few days in your lovely home city

Yes, The Fallas are a must see once in life. They say they pass a lot with valencian way of life: we spend a whole year building them and then burn them out in one night!

We have a song: Valencia es la tierra de la flores, de la luz y del amor! (Valencia is the land of flowers, light and love). I've lived in England (for a short period of time), Germany and now Barcelona, but the light we have in Valencia is unique. I highly recommend the visit!

to the forum. Glad you are finding it helpful. You may find yourself organising a Spain Cali Forum Meet in the future

Hola Rebeca. What village are you from? In normal years I'm once a month in Roda de Berà. Now It's been since February that I keep the Cally ready to cross those Pyrenees ... :sad

. First you were the Covid champs, then now we're at the lead here in Belgium,...But yes, let's keep dreaming of meetings!

Hi, Auberg-ine! I live in el Pla del Penedès, 40 minuts north from Roda de Berà, next to Vilafranca del Penedès. There are some beautiful AC Areas to sleep here in the Penedès area, one of them in the village where I live. You can see them in this link:
