w1ntersun Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hi, Last night 1 April several stored vans went up in smoke here . Three fire pumps attended and they ran out of water and had to go and refill from the swimming pool. Some of the vans had gas bottles in and poping there release valves link to pics below http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=204619&l=07663538e0&id=100000481516235 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=204620&l=cbd5d678f3&id=100000481516235 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=204621&l=0c8f2bb33e&id=100000481516235 Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike 202 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Looks bad, was it Vandalism or accidental. I spend some time at a site 100 miles south of Barcelona and the owners of the site had to remove "Vagrants/homeless travellers" who had broken into stored caravans and were living there. No real damage done but it makes me wonder if something similar happened where you are and the "unwelcome guests" accidentally caused the fire through being careless. Be interesting if it has happened elsewhere with vans stored on European sites. Obviously no CASSOA Gold over the channel. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1ntersun Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 This morning 7 vans destroyed and another 4 badly damaged. The site was full of spanish as it is there holy week. I suspect but only suspect it was kids as they were all ok until the Site filled up this week Aftermath http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=205457&l=b087e86f6f&id=100000481516235 Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creakyknee Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hi Richard, Pays to consider proximity of other vans when parking up and a quick exit path. There are one or two clips on Youtube of MH's on fire, when they go they certainly go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo3090 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 We had a fire in a storage place a few years ago in Widnes, started by kids. When the police contacted the owners of adjacent caravans a woman turned up to check their family van. She, and we, discovered her husband had been using it as a meeting place for another woman! The bed was made up, wine glasses were left out and it was obvious what had been going on. It was before mobile phones were common and her husband was "out at work" and not contactable. She left the storage place, after securing their van, to go home and wait for him to get in. Be sure your sins will find you out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porky Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Richard only just picked this up as we have only been back a week or so. I think it is worth telling everyone what a very good site this is, excellent staff and with barriers at the entrance and exit. No one would be able to enter this site without the necessary card. We left our van here for 6 weeks earlier this year as I had to return to the UK for a major back op (successful) and would have no hesitation in doing it again.

ron. Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I will second that Roy, Camping Rosaleda is one of the better run Spanish sites. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I would say a good site, we were there last week. The only problem for us was it was in the middle of nowhere, and you need transport to get about. The pitches not very big, unless you pay extra for a large one. Very peacefull site good toilets etc. PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have used it in the past and it's a great site as long as you are not there at Easter when the locals invade. The experienced traveller will know what it's like when the Spaniards start celebrating. Safe travelling. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
