Hi, thanks for your video very good, I'm booked on the Santander ferry in February, a bit nervous , never driven abroad before. Decided to bite the bullet and go for it after my wife passed away last January. Going to try some of your recommendations on my trip. Thanks again.
Ah Bill, I’m so sorry to read about your wife. We’re sure it won’t take long to get used to driving on the other side, and that you will have an amazing trip. Xx
Great Vlog As Ever For A two Month Old Site It Looked Great And Right By The Beach And Great Family That Own It And Run It Dont Get Many Like That . Well See You Next Time Take Care And Be Safe
Great video. Just some advice here in Spain, it doesn’t always pay to buy cheaper fuel as it is watered down and can severely damage your engine as I found out when my engine started periodically spluttering so I quickly started using the better fuel like Repsol, Cespa, and BP.
We went to a McDonalds in Sydney. It was identical to a UK branch, except the specials were all different, there were ibis scrounging for scraps, outdoor seating in the sunshine and a gentle water stream dribbling past. Almost the same.
What a find. Fabulous hospitality and so friendly. First time I was served chilled red was in the south of France. I was horrified but, it was lovely.😉👍❤️
Hi guys, I love to see you making the video of that place, I was one of those locals who place the pallets under the van to let you in, this place it's amazing and I'm glad you come ove as more British could find it and it is always a pleasure to get involved with friends from my second home. Keep doing what you doing it's great, well done
Superb vid !...,theres nothing better than seeing you find great places to stay,also your attention to just keeping things real and as it is is a pleasure to watch !..Buckinghamshire will just have to wait for your safe return hehehe! ;)
Looks a great place. Next to the beach, a takeaway close by that shares its name with my daughter 😎🤣 will certainly be visiting there once I travel abroad
The place looks amazing, what route do you take from England and how miles do you suggest a day to drive, during your journey. I cant wait to do this, as you look as if your having so much fun. Thanks so much for the upload.
We front load our driving to get to souther Europe as quickly as possible. We will drive as far as we can for a few days then slow down to less than 2-3 hours per day. It depends on how far we want to go.
Whenever we have red wine at my mums, it’s always in the fridge, never understood why, just thought it was funny. But it does actually seem it is a Mediterranean thing, Mum is Maltese x
Hey Darren, we are actually back in the UK preparing for school! Don't worry, you still have a couple more weeks of Spanish vlogs, and then Portugal too!!!
Great video guys. Just goes to show it's not all about presentation and looks with sites. A great family with priorities for the customers. I'd certainly be staying there at some point 👍
Yes of course Maureen! An Aire is a free or cheap safe park up. They are usually fantastic because of their locations rather than facilities and setting up a "pitch" is usually discouraged. Campsites are all about facilities, and making a base. We tend to just sleep in Aires, and choose them based on how close they are to something we want to visit or how close they are to a route we are travelling along. We don't like paying full campsite prices if we are going to arrive late at night and leave in the morning. If I've made this even more unclear, we will cover this in videos coming up over the next couple of weeks. Lynds xxx
I learnt about chilled red wine in Italy I told Roberto we don't chill red wine it's served at room temperature he says it's 30 degrees out here do you want your wine 30 degrees that's how I learnt about chilled red wine
Fab vlog guys. How lovely that the locals came to help you! Loving the curls Lyndsay, so Harry gets them from you? 😂 Love watching your abroad hols, it’s like you’re there yourself. Mind you we’ve had a gorgeous hot day in Wales, sitting outside til 10.30pm 🥰 Til next time lovelies x (3 goes at getting your name spelt correctly Lynds 😳🙄)
@@RoamingRadfords it’s so beautiful, been coming here all my life. We’re moving here next year and then we’re going to start our touring adventures. Saw a motor home the same as yours today (no stickers though 😉). What a beauty! Hub really really wants one! 😂 Looking forward to the next vlog, especially Portugal. Following on Instagram now x
Great video guys. Perhaps you can help me with a question. I’m thinking of driving to Spain via France. Would you know what COVID test I have to take even tho I’ve had both jabs. Many thanks
Hi Rhys. I’m not sure it’ll help me negotiate tricky roads, I already do that! I think it will probably give us a more comfortable ride and less road noise
Hi Beverly. These private paid aires don’t have a limit, you can stay as long as you want. Some free and municipal aires have 2-3 day limits, but there will usually be signs stating this
Another great video, thanks. One question, before I set off to Spain, do you guys pay cash on campsites or by card? If by casy, do you pay the day you leave or when you arrive? First timer here, I plan on paying by cash.
We did both! And mostly we would pay upfront for one or maybe two nights, then extend if we were loving the site. You are going to have an amazing time.
don't bother with the yoga just eat and be merry , you can always do when you go home. was it very hot there, I was surprised when your son said it was cold in the sea. luv watching you enjoy yourselves, take care.
Have you not tried calimucho?coke and red wine 🍷together ? My dad lives in murcia and drinks it in the summer as he only drinks red wine or beer cools it down
Petrol Stations on Google… wouldn’t it be a great service if you could compare fuel prices from Google maps on your phone! ⛽️ 💶 📱 Nice campsite, and I love the inspiration for a local to recognise an empty space and turn it into a 100 lote aire
Love your videos as always!! Payed deposit on my first camper van this week, due in March 2022. I uploaded my first you tube video today so really appreciate any feedback!!!
How exciting. That looks like a fab layout, we love a rear lounge, and the pop top is a great addition if you want to bring some of the family along. It’s going to be a long sleepless 8 months Carl.
@@RoamingRadfords , thank you, it’s only been a week so far and I can’t wait, going to concentrate on working to pay it off in time then we can take a little extra time off to enjoy it!! You have such a lovely family, lovely respectful children and you are both such great parents full of adventure, they will treasure their childhood memories forever!!
I think a lot of us are guilty of the ‘Euro-International’ accent to try and help other nationalities understand us…or at least we think?! 😜 Just don’t bring the mankini out Steve?! 😂
Thanks for sharing guy’s excellent as per normal 👍
The red wine glass was massive. Cold red is defo a european thing but in a hot country yum yum
I made him share it with me 🤣🤣
Great video, thank you, your such a lovely family, I would love to do that, I'm jealous 😀 😊
Ahh thank you x
Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us
Thank you so much Terence for watching it with us x
You are so right. The people make the place, not the facilities. Small places with great owners are great finds.
Always the people!!! We love meeting new friends!
Almayate, Torre del Mar , Benajarafe, nice along the coast road.
You could definitely feel how happy this place was great video
Thanks Steve!
What a lovely park up 👍👍
Its the people that make this park up so special!
Quite an adventure getting into that aire by the sound of it, nothing you can't fix with pallets though 👍
Pallets. WD40. Elephant tape = everything fixed 🤣🤣
nice area,had apartment otherside of torre del mar in caleta,the site was farmland not so long ago
Never a dull moment with your videos. Very entertaining and informative.
Thank you!
Hello,
What a great aire. Cheers guys. All the best. 😎👍
Thanks, you too!

John it felt like a real hidden gem!
What a lovely find! Worth the challenge getting in 👍
Absolutely!
Oh I did laugh at little George when his dad said he needed a shower😂 bless him x
🤣🤣🤦🏼♀️
Really helpful thanks
Another great video guys. Safe travels x
Thank you so much.
What a great place and you were so welcomed they carnt do enough for you, so lucky there
It was such a wonderful trip!

Ahhh! Makes sense!
I don´t think so. You might be thinking about your drinks.
We went to a McDonalds in Sydney. It was identical to a UK branch, except the specials were all different, there were ibis scrounging for scraps, outdoor seating in the sunshine and a gentle water stream dribbling past. Almost the same.
Sounds like you are describing the Central Milton Keynes McDonalds 🤣🤣
Thanks Pugwash 😘
I really enjoy your videos especially go with the flow on each stop as you don’t know what might come up.
Thank you, that makes us happy!
Great find and wonderful family. 👌💙❤️
Weren't they lovely!
What a find. Fabulous hospitality and so friendly. First time I was served chilled red was in the south of France. I was horrified but, it was lovely.😉👍❤️

We remember you!! Thank you so much for your help! We loved Anna and the whole family x
😂 no matter where you are kids will always want a McDonald’s. Always fun and games. Nice that locals helped you. Lovely site
Ramondo - Always with the McDonalds 😁
Superb vid !...,theres nothing better than seeing you find great places to stay,also your attention to just keeping things real and as it is is a pleasure to watch !..Buckinghamshire will just have to wait for your safe return hehehe! ;)
We are back in the UK, I’m snuggled in a blanket wishing we were back in the warm!
Great video guys! That looked a lovely stop 👍
Take care all.
Smithy.
Thanks Smithy!
Looks great, heading that way in a couple of weeks 👍
Ohhh if you stay there, say Hi from us!!!
Looks a great place. Next to the beach, a takeaway close by that shares its name with my daughter 😎🤣 will certainly be visiting there once I travel abroad
Ohhh Make sure you Say Hi from us!!!
What a great aire and another great video … and top tip for fuel on google , learnt something new cheers guys
Ha ha, I learnt about this this summer too!
Borat! I had to pause to wipe away the tears 😂
Ha ha ha!
Good video guys not sure about either of those roads in and out 😬
😬😬😳😳🤣
Nice place. The family really make that place, I'm they will be getting lots of visitors after your review.
We really hope so, they deserve it!
Great video guys x x
Thank you Nanna!
Excellent. Just discovered you and subscribed
Hey Gareth! Welcome along!
Wow, you were lucky getting into the site that way. A great site with the sea x
It's a wonderful Aire!
Brilliant…
Thanks Declan!

Great video, I am also drinking chilled red wine...
Yummy!
Glad you are enjoying your trip.
Is that site as crowded looking on the ground as it appears on the video thumbnail?
Cheers
Hi Tim. It’s an aire and there is less room than you’d expect from a campsite, but that’s just how they are
Cheers...
Would bother me re fire risk.
But then nobody is making me go there..
Best wishes
Hi guys great vlog 👍 thanks
Thank you Stan!
Helpful
Hi can I ask what your motorhomes does to the galleon and do you find it loo long on is it OK thank you Brian
Hi Brian. It depends how I drive the van, 19mpg to 25mpg but on average around 22mpg. And no it’s not too long at all, the next van maybe even longer!
Whenever we have red wine at my mums, it’s always in the fridge, never understood why, just thought it was funny. But it does actually seem it is a Mediterranean thing, Mum is Maltese x
Ahhhh! I guess room temp around the Med is generally 26+++ that’s warmer than most of the cups of tea I drank when the boys were young.
Brilliant show love watching look forward to the next show where are you at the moment
Hey Darren, we are actually back in the UK preparing for school! Don't worry, you still have a couple more weeks of Spanish vlogs, and then Portugal too!!!
@@RoamingRadfords can't wait bbbbbbrilliant
@@RoamingRadfords how do you get sticker guys for my van
Another great show guys it's also great that you can meet with friends food looked lovely aswell. Stay safe
Great video guys. Just goes to show it's not all about presentation and looks with sites. A great family with priorities for the customers. I'd certainly be staying there at some point 👍
Absolutely 100%
This is a great wee run guys, loving it. Thinking I’m deciding on a 649 rather than 650. Been showing all the fam your videos. All great help. Thanks.
Eeek exciting!
Can you tell me what the difference is between an aire and a normal campsite please. Love your vlogs.❤️❤️
Yes of course Maureen! An Aire is a free or cheap safe park up. They are usually fantastic because of their locations rather than facilities and setting up a "pitch" is usually discouraged.

It totally makes sense!!!
NICE 🤗🤗🤗
It was!!! So nice Kev!
Loving the vids. I tried the Google map petrol prices but would not give prices, is it not possible in the uk
It’s not currently available in the UK, but it’s available in Spain and some other countries around Europe
@@RoamingRadfords many thanks for your reply keep well and enjoy the rest of your holiday Chris and Chris
Fantastic 😆
Isnt your Other Lad a " Camner" . Heard but not Seen lol

Really good video again folks. You truly do have a real adventure when you all go on summer holidays 😁👍☀️🥂
We do try!!!
Great video guys. Perhaps you can help me with a question. I’m thinking of driving to Spain via France. Would you know what COVID test I have to take even tho I’ve had both jabs.
Many thanks
Ian the situation is changing so regularly, the best advice I can give is to check with gov.uk
@@RoamingRadfords thanks 👍
Bloody hell lyndsay you’re looking even more gorgeous with a nice tan than normal 👍👍
Borat! Where’s the mankini?’ 😂😂😂 I turn into Mr Worldwide when away, English with a twang
😳😳😖🤦🏻♀️😳
Cmon Steve , you've got to be getting the Spanish by now . Paella , pie yaya !!!
🤣🤣🤣
@@RoamingRadfords not a criticism Steve , we're all guilty of it , enjoyed the vlog , love what you do .
Would fitting air suspension to your motorhome allow you to negotiate tricky roads.
Hi Rhys. I’m not sure it’ll help me negotiate tricky roads, I already do that! I think it will probably give us a more comfortable ride and less road noise
How long can you stay at an aire?
Hi Beverly. These private paid aires don’t have a limit, you can stay as long as you want. Some free and municipal aires have 2-3 day limits, but there will usually be signs stating this

The spanish girl english was amazing, where did she learn it?
School and UA-cam!!!
don't bother with the yoga
just eat and be merry , you can always do when you go home. was it very hot there, I was surprised when your son said it was cold in the sea. luv watching you enjoy yourselves, take care.
Ha ha, I have to do the yoga to stop my back seizing up!!! Thanks Moira!
Who would do that for you in this country?? Awesome Spanish!!
They are such a wonderful family!
Get the long tube things . wrap them around youre neck. Youll relax in the water like a baby steve . driving is tiring .
Have you not tried calimucho?coke and red wine 🍷together ? My dad lives in murcia and drinks it in the summer as he only drinks red wine or beer cools it down
Coke and red wine, not heard of that, thanks I’ll give it a go
@@RoamingRadfords try it let me know if you like it . It’s weirdly nice and really refreshing 😄
It’s Lyndsay this time, I have a couple of friends that like this! I’m not so sure ☺️
@@RoamingRadfords 😄 a required taste I think . I never used to like red wine , now love it 😵💫
I drive a class 1 Hgv and I would of got down that narrow road 😂😂😂😂
Need to get some monster truck tyres on the unit to never ground out again 😂
Ha ha ha!
👌👌👌👍.........
☺️😘
That's a tight road! Some driving skills there! Looks like a sweet site though. Glad the local people helped 😁
The locals saved us!! Such a warm and friendly park up.
Petrol Stations on Google… wouldn’t it be a great service if you could compare fuel prices from Google maps on your phone! ⛽️ 💶 📱
Nice campsite, and I love the inspiration for a local to recognise an empty space and turn it into a 100 lote aire
