Must admit that would be a great disappointment as my plan is to spend most of my remaining days there.

You must have your reasons for not travelling. And those reasons should be respected.
What gets up my nose is those who think that they know better.

Everyone's situation is different and for some maybe swmbo cant drive or you have a pet onboard and so issues can escalate very quickly - so people should just do what they are comfortable with

Lets wait and see what the Spanish and Portuguese governments decide. They are not frightened to ignore what Brussels dictates. Their economy depends so much on tourism.Summer and winter. Driving through France after 90 days may prove a problem. Isn't there a way around that? Lol

Sorry but Spain and Portugal have no say in the matter. The 90 day rule is a Schengen thing. You may think you have got get away with overstaying once if the Spanish authorities turn a blind eye, but the computer will pick it up when you leave and it will be your last trip there for many years because the next time you try to leave the UK for the EU, the computer will register the fact that you have overstayed previously and ban you from entering again for several years. If you are very unlucky you might get a hefty fine too.

As I said, let's wait and see. You may well be right, although I doubt you have any more insight into the working of the EU, than the rest of us. If things workout the way I think they may, using the Bilbao/Santander route would eliminate the need to travel through France. ATM, nothing has been agreed, or set in stone, and with a (great big) bit of luck, disappear.

Ditto

I repeated my post because the original seems to have disappeared - it seems that certain words trigger the censorship police

Change the number plate.

Change the number plate.

That wouldn't do you any good unless you also went on a forged passport
