Portugal for winter 2016

Hi,

We have never been to Portugal before but fancy spending some time there this winter. We plan on being in Portugal 29th September onwards.

We will be travelling over north coast of Spain then into Portugal planning then on heading south along coast if possible. We will be around Gibraltar end of November. Any suggestions of places to visit/avoid. Prefer wild camp or aires as opposed to sites.

Thanks in advance.

Good evening Mr Collins,

We are intending to do the same route earlier on in September and we intend to try the bears' POI's so it will be interesting to compare notes and everybody else will probably be interested.

just go along that north spanish coast hug the sea and around and down . there are thousands of nice places to stop . an odd night here there nobody cares . just think about where you are . park dont camp. use eyes ears etc . we might be doing it that way in november . but it might be rainy and if it rains in portugal it doesnt know when to stop . but hug the coast forest tracks go to real nice places .
 
before you go look on amazon and get a mapamax map book . its really worth having . shows names of just about all the beaches etc that other ones dont show . best map of spain i know of with out getting into carrying loads of local ones .
you never know if you get inland around ourique you might find kenspain at chicken mamas by the reservoir. i like the coast but we do go inland sometimes .
 
Hi Alan
Put mapamax map book into amozon said could not find
 
although all the well known places are getting filled up with vans ,there are plenty of places to park up. stay at beaches all day if that's your thing, then drive off on lesser known tracks to find a place. i can think of dozens of places by rivers and lakes that rarely if ever see a camper, but you have to explore a bit
 
Hi Jumper,

We traveled along the coast of Spain to Gibraltar and up to Portugal in November 2014 and had so much rain and flooding on the the site we came back into Spain within two day.We follow the weather maps while traveling and the better weather seemed to be around Valencia so this year 2015 we stayed in the Valencia area at Cap Blanc for Christmas and New Year and checked out the weather in Portugal and it was still very wet.

Wow!!!! When I looked this morning there were 2 used and 2 new copies for sale, the max price was about a tenner! Perhaps there's been a rush and someone is trying it on!

still are about 8 quid plus postage so about 10,63 quid .
i got mine cheaper earlier on last month.
there is someone asking that daft amount but maybe they are on drugs . ha ha .
you can buy in spain but they seem to run out of them quickly.

its a map. there really is hardly anything you would need in english.
the places are in their language .
the legend to start is so easy to understand they just use road colours etc same as uk maps .
 
yes its not like ordanance survey style but is good at lots of little beaches coves that other maps dont name or show . i have been using them since 2009 . i am sat with a 2010 here by the computer . have newer ones in the trailer and truck.
sometimes you want to know the names of the little places that one tells you.
