first spain

[Gemani2]

We have just come back from southern Spain. We were going to go Calais, but when it all kicked off in France we changed to a Santander booking. So glad we did! From Santander we travelled to a site just outside Barcelona & got a bus into the city. Then travelled down the coast past Valencia, Alicante & Benidorm (we didn't stop there) to Cartegena, lovely city! Then further down the coast to the Murcia region where we wild camped on the beach. We came back last weekend up through the centre of Spain around Madrid & back to Santander. I would say the roads are fantastic with very little traffic & not that many toll roads. We had temperature down there in the mid 30s! So it will be very hot in July & August for you! I know the Santander/Bilbao crossing is expensive, but we worked out it costs us around £400 extra. Taking into account fuel, site fees maybe & extra days food & wine/beer of course, lol. The centre of Spain is rather flat by the way.
I would definately do the Brittany ferry crossing again to Spain! Enjoy whatever you do! :fun:

LOVELY pics, what part of Murcia ??

Sorry for late reply. We stayed in the Isla Plana & Mazzaron area south of Murcia.
