when my lads were growing up we spent many a xmas along the cantarbria coast . it can be quite nice . not warm ,but thick jumpers ok. wet suits for surfing .
also in france around la balle nante area. pornic a bit further down as well.
mind playa la vega was our favourite for several years . west of santander .
.
but its changed .jose who had the bar went . later barriers were put up to stop m,homes . shame as we used to love xmas and new year there.
you do have to find your own likes in a place . like every where it changes .
i spent xmas as a kid travelling with my parents . sometimes my gran came with us .

this was an old bus my dad had . cant even remember the make . i,m on the steps with my mum . my gran and my brother are sat down.
i do love travelling around . wonder why.i was about 7 yr old in 1962.mind it might have been earlier .

We WERE thinking about going down there for Christmas, but you lot have put me off the idea, Stay in bed under the duvet instead.

Depends on what you're looking for. Generally if it's the warmer places then expect the crowds, if it's
peace and quiet, then expect poorer weather, as in colder & wetter, a lot of Spain experiences
cold winters, Madrid (and other regions) have colder January's than much of Cornwall, albeit
shorter winters. Some people ignore facts.

You can't, as a rule expect to find the warmest places along with peace & quiet, unless striking lucky, as you
could not so many years ago, which is the comparison a lot of old timers make. Newbies
and those only having been down south in recent years of course are perhaps more accepting of
the current situation having not experienced the difference.

The primary object of the Spanish Pegasus operation is to detect and prosecute speeding motorists.

But the "close up" camera also enables them to spot people without seat belts or using mobile phones, and now, apparently, violations of the rules for carrying animals in vehicles.

To avoid the fine follow the rules!

The main reason I posted the video link was to create more awareness that the DGT Helicopters in Spain are about and are tasked to enforce any traffic law including speeding ,mobile phone usage and more (as r4dent mentioned)...Am I correct in thinking that the UK police helicopters dont enforce general traffic infringements just seem to chase "no stop" drivers.
