Decision points

1. Netherlands → Spain flight: the route is now treated as a flight. The remaining choice is timing, ideally a weekday evening on June 29 or June 30.
2. Spain base before the van: your uncle is in Vilassar de Mar, near Barcelona. We should still confirm arrival timing and whether Barcelona-area van pickup/return is best.
3. Decompression style: fully remote nature may be beautiful but risky if you need recovery, groceries, showers, signal, or easy admin after the festival. My instinct is a place with at least light civilization nearby.
4. Shipping strategy: first research transport companies, then arrange Amsterdam → Barcelona shipping before the Spain leg, and Barcelona → Thailand shipping after the festival.
