will be parked in the cepsa at sunbilla tonight (northbound) if anybody fancies a beer 
well i’m here again this time in the southbound side in the kontza and the good news is the restaurant will be re-opening shortly
just walked up to a continental express truck for a chat as you do brits abroad and all that and he sounds like mr chekhov from star trek, seems like even cont exp have gone over to the dark side of the force and got the old flipflop and sock brigade on board, i wonder if they are on equal pay as i believe they are on a good salary?
I changed the title of the topic so maybe some of us on the road in europe can post where we’re stopping for the weekend, you never know how close you could be to another member 
this weekend 23rd will be in vivonne if anybody is about beer and wine aplenty
I will be in albufeira next week end 
by the way, for anyone who is interested Freds in Madrid has got free wifi now

WBIS, that Continental Express ‘communist’ in flip flops @ Sunbilla was probably Ben the Rat, his description down to a T!, but he’s definately from this side of the Iron Curtain!

i refrained from saying communist because that would upset too many people on here 
and besides most of the labour party are secret commies

My German was never much good, but it was enough to have a Brit scurrying off back to his cab when I answered him

I’m parked up south of Alicante this weekend (Cabo Roig) but there isn’t much space for other trucks.

its very rare we go past zaragoza. if we are coming up the new motorway past teruel we go via carinena, almunia de dona godina and magallon.
last time i went past though it looked well worn but not sure if its still open.
the bp truckstop at bailen is a dive just used for bus changeovers from madrid better to use the andamur just down the road. maybe the zaragoza one suffers the same as there are many good cheap hotels and bars in the vicinity
never stopped in carisio is it a decent truckstop?
Carisio is ok, there isn’t anything better in the area, it can be a bit expensive if you dont have the menu of the Day.
I use the same route as you from Teruel, I thought the BP at Bailen was shut down, I also use the Andamur very good food and the staff are friendly.

the BP at bailen is just one of those godawful autogrills with expensive sandwiches and toasties and is only frequented by the buses.
the andamur is probably one of the best truckstops in spain, never paid more than 9 euros including carajillo after
the only bad thing is that lame excuse for a truckwash but if you want a good one km 280 ALDEA DE LOS RIOS just up the road open 24hrs from mon morning to sat afternoon. the restaurant is good and cheap next door and they have a shop that sells everything for trucks
