Green Defenders under the pines. Pali at the wheel. A sign by the track: book your Mini Safari at the pool bar.

The last week of August is the one week we never skip. High season still at full speed, every car out, every site running exactly the way guests experience it. No tour, no appointment version — the real thing.

So that’s where we spent it: Homair Les Castellas in France, then down the Costa Brava to Sènia Riú, Sènia Cala Gogo, Sènia Tucan and Interpals.

Five sites, five teams, one and the same picture at each: cars out, tracks busy, guests enjoying it to the full. There is no better end-of-season report than that.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. On to 2027 — the list has already started.
