The author tends to camp as high as possible. Not only is there magnificent scenery, it’s legal and there is less chance of being disturbed. What is more, there are likely to be fewer cows, better grass, and fewer mosquitos and biting insects.

The three types of camping gas commonly available are:

 The ones you pierce, referred to in this guide as ‘original’ cylinders

 ‘Easy-clic’ resealable cylinders, the main resealable system used in Southern Europe

 Screw-on resealable cylinders, such as manufactured by Coleman and Primus; these are the most widely used in Britain, Northern Europe and the USA, and in this guide have been called ‘Coleman-style’ gas cylinders

Where these are mentioned in the text they were in stock when the author passed through in 2013, but it cannot be guaranteed that they will be in stock when you pass through. ‘Coleman-style’ cylinders are becoming more readily available, but the locals mainly use the ‘original’ or ‘easy-clic’ cylinders and these still have greater availability. Liquid fuels are most likely to be available at the ferreteria (ironmongers), but make sure you know what you are buying!
