Seems you genuinely liked the time you guys spent in Spain. I love every single video content you created while there, but love more the sincere enthusiam you have when describing your experience. Both of you have great personalities, and that makes your videos enjoyable, greetings.
Wow, wonderful tips for when visiting Spain and Portugal. 👌We were there in July and it was hot hotter hottest, but I liked it.😎 Thanks for sharing your adventures in such a lovely way.😍
Great area - we did Garmisch area (in a Landrover with roof tent) back in 2006 had loved it. They had a camping area at the PX which was a wonderful experience.
Thanks for the upload, I'm making plans to spend next winter in Spain, and you answered all my questions, As I'm from the UK I'm a bit nervous about driving on the left side of the road but I'm sure I'll get used to it. thanks again.
You're very welcome! Luckily most roads around Spain is wide and easy to navigate so you should be fine. Traffic circles are the hardest 😁 Just follow the car in front of you.
Very grateful for this video, agree fully with your views on Spain. Likewise I did motocamping for 3 weeks in Spain last September, am booked for another 3 weeks this September. Vast country, so much to see and do. Looking forward to seeing your next adventures.
A great info package with important information. I will have the touring car ready by next summer and then I will start living freely in the car. Spain comes to mind first. Keep doing what you do. The journey continues, my friend. Greetings from autumn Helsinki 🇫🇮🍁
👍Very nice and enjoying explanation about your trip in Spain, I love Spain and Portugal and can speak both languages, and I I am strongly thinking of buying a van or small motor to travel as alone woman for months.... Keep going.... And, and if you cross France from Valence to Grenoble I will be please to let park your motor on my field 😉🙏 Irène from Eymeux
Thank you Irène! 😃 We often meet solo woman travelers. Especially if you speak Spanish and Portugese will have an AMAZING time traveling the countryside by van! We're making a note and if / when we pass near you we will make sure to contact you for that parking spot!
Our pleasure, so glad it was helpful! There's also more info on our website: www.wewillnomad.com/post/travelling-southern-spain-by-campervan-2021-2022 Thanks for you comment! 😊
Great video. I didn't realise just how crazy busy van life has become in Spain! I regularly go to Malaga several times a year, and have found the weather March,April & May is perfect also Sept, Oct, Nov. not too hot and not too busy! Also, I think with Brexit the 90/180 day rule fits perfectly with these months. I want to travel all over Spain and Portugal although my van build progress is very slow! Thank you for very informative video. I agree Spain is super cheap to eat out. 100Montaditos is great value for a beer a little snack! Enjoy....
Thanks for the comment! Yup Spain gets BUSY with vans in winter! We met a guy in Sagres (Portugal) who owns a motorhome parking area just outside Malaga and they are pretty much fully booked throughout winter. There's still plenty of nice spots around Almeria and of course south of Cadiz if you don't mind a bit of wind! Good luck with the van build!
Hey guys, what an incredible adventure! Thank you for sharing! Is it possibile to have the list of the areas and spots you stayed in during your journey, I mean the spots you breafly show on your map in the video? Thanks so much again and again for your lovely videos)))
Hi Denis! We tried to give the "what3words" for most of our spots throughout 2021 & 2022 in the videos. Unfortunately, we don't have a list in any good format but most spots are also on Park4Night. From this year, we are using Polarsteps to give exact locations and more information to our Patreon members. Happy travels and planning! 🙂
Thanks for this report really appreciated. I'm not far from the retreat ( so, pay attention when you are talking about concentration of old people :)) ; I like windsurf and have a very lovely confortable Westfalia James Cook Van. My wife only wants sun... so yes, Spain and Tarifa are in my pointer. I like yours tips that I certainly will follow. Have a good and pleasant next trip.Enjoy the life. Greetings from Belgium
Aah a fellow lover of wind sports! That's probably the only bad part of being in Spain during winter - there's just not enough wind! 😋 Thanks for your lovely comment! Perhaps we see you in Tarifa this winter!
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thank you. France is incredible for motorhomes! Every time we travel through France we just enjoy it more! ❤️ The accent? 😂 Sometimes we think that's one of our biggest downfalls.
@@WeWillNomad No your accent is perfect, sounds so nice, I'm British who live's in France my friends say my British accent when talking French makes me sound exotic, Its great to be different 🙂
OMG guys you are fabulous and really useful well presented and prepared, informative content, thank you. We are looking at spain and Motorhoming for the winter months (UK based) and heard you mention a 3 month limit in spain since Brexit, any further info welcomed. Can't wait to follow more of your content, theres not enough time in the day😂. Cheers Cheers.
Thanks, glad you found it useful! 😀 There is a time limit in the Schengen Zone which applies to UK passport holders of 90 days out of 180. It can be an interesting and confusing complication but there is plenty info available online.
Many thanks for this interesting overview with lots of information. About the difference between parking and camping. As I understand your story it, it is not possible to do a picknick at daytime, stop and put table and chairs out to have a lunch on a nice spot, without any intention to overnight ? My question sound perhaps weard, but we intend of buying an ID Buzz (you know that sweat little minibus ) just for that purpose: not sleeping or camping (much to small) but a lot of space to use a build in kitchen which we can draw out to cook for ourselves. Cheaper, healthier and we like to cook ourselves like you. (But we also like to enjoy the comfort of a B&B or cottage, and the freedom to park everywhere with a car sized minibus). For seasons, If you like slightly better wetter for swimming, Autumn is always better then springtime: the seawater temperatures are still quit good in autumn, where in the springtime it takes months for the seawater to heat up. Good luck and save travellings from Switzerland!
Hi Ronnie! You can definitely have a picnic, just not in a parking lot. But you will find plenty of places to picnic all over. The rules can be a bit fuzzy at times and especially in high season enforcement is stricter, but with smaller vehicles you can almost always fit under height barriers and get away almost all the activities that fit into 'daytine' behaviour. Enjoy your travels!
Gracias por el video. Os habéis quedado sin ver toda la costa norte; Galicia donde se come el mejor marisco de Europa y unos vinos blancos espectaculares, Rias Baixas, A Guarda, Baiona, Combarro, toda la "Costa da morte" al norte de Galicia. Asturias entera maravillosa "Paraiso Natural". Cantabria; San Vicente de la Barquera, Santillana del Mar, Santander, Santoña, Castro Urdiales. Pais Vasco; Bilbao, San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, Mundaka, etc..etc..etc Teneis que volver!!!😊
Gracias José! Yes, we would love to see all those areas and will be back very soon - we should drive into Spain next week! When do you think is a good time to visit Galicia? Thank you for watching! 🇪🇸😍
@@WeWillNomad sin duda la mejor epoca para disfrutar de Galicia y toda la costa norte de España es en primavera y en verano, en otoño y en invierno entran demasiadas borrascas. Yo vivo en Oviedo, Principado de Asturias, pero conozco bien Galicia y todo el norte de España, si quereis os puedo decir cuales son los sitios que no os podeis perder. Saludos cordiales😉👍
From April to October,, when you have more daylights!!, Best regards from Malaga!! @@WeWillNomad !! By the way, in the north of Spain there are a lot to see. Don't forget these cities, Pontevedra, Santiago de Compostela, León, Coruña, Gijón, Oviedo, Santander, Bilbao, San Sebastián, Vitoria!!!! Good return!
Thanks for the video, glad you enjoyed Spain. Next time you should visit Javea, one of our favourite towns on the Costa Blanca. If you don’t mind us asking…I presume your vehicle insurance is based in Italy? We were wondering how long it allows you to stay out of the country as we found most European insurance requires the vehicle to spend at least 1 day out of 365 in the country of origin ie Italy. It seems like you will be out of Italy for over a year so just wondered if you’ve found a workaround? Thanks guys 👍
Hi Claire. Yes we have insurance based in Italy. It's from Allianz and a motorhome specific product. We chose limited cover only (3-rd party, legal, , theft, road-side assistance, etc) valid for 'green card' territories. To the best of our knowledge there is no condition that requires us to be in Italy for a minimum period per year - not from what we read in the policy document anyway - but we'll reach out to our broker to confirm. That said, we will anyway be back in Italy before a year has passed. We plan on heading towards Sicily be September. Javea was on our list last year - we actually had Cape San Antonio viewpoint marked - but sadly time did not allow for more than a brief stop. We would love to explore that coast for kite-surfing spots next time. Thanks for the tip!
Great video, I was wondering if you could answer a question I have. Do you think a trip, similar to this, would be possible towing a caravan? For example, the overnighting aspects etc. Thanks!👍🏻
Hi Amy! It is certainly possible, but it will be much more difficult. There are significantly fewer feasible parking options for caravans and you may need to consider booking in advance to stay at campsites. Particularly along the coast there are many parking restrictions and even in winter the campsites are fully booked! Good luck and happy travels! 😊

Hi!! Thanks so much for this video. We are considering a trip to Spain/Portugal from mid October - December. We have a van and only have either a Mr Heater Buddy which we run only while we are awake or an electric heater for which we require electricity at a campground. How do you think we will do in November December? Do you think it's a good or a bad idea to travel to Spain/Portugal then? Do you have suggestions of where to start and end? Thank you!!
There are a number of factors to consider. You should have one good month with weather (mid-October to mid-November) This would probably be the best time to see the south of Portugal and then head into Andalucía for the colder months. The reality is that around Almeria there are plenty of sunny days and the temperature only drops below 10C some nights from January. There will be cooler days and nights from middle November but coping depends on how well your van is insulated. In the south of Portugal (Algarve) there are very few options for 'parking' legally but there are plenty of really cheap campsites - and it's their off season so it's not busy. It's the opposite for Malaga / Almeria where campsites will be mostly booked out long-term in Nov, Dec - mostly British retirees. However, if you watch our video on Almeria you will see even the informal parking areas can be quite busy although you should have plenty of options.

Hi Kane! We have made some videos on budget. The latest one was just a few weeks ago for 12 months (ua-cam.com/video/4oDDPz6Unh0/v-deo.html) and then one from a year before for 6 months (ua-cam.com/video/rnThJLrEH-s/v-deo.html)
We have group insurance via an Italian camper club with Allianz. In Italy comprehensive insurance is very expensive.. For fairly obvious reasons. As we have an older vehicle we only took 3rd party cover with road side assistance

@@tingme_ Have to say I voted for Brexit but no regrets even though I wish to spend winters in Spain and the restrictions are frustrating. I think it's important countries keep their own sovereignty and do not give it up and get sucked into the globalist march towards a one world governance.
