Spain/Portugal escaping the English Winter

[Nicholas_5080853]

Having recently retired we are planning a longer trip (around 3 months) to Spain and/or Portugal to escape the worst of the English Winter. However, if at all possible I would like to find sites that offer WiFi Internet Access or alternatively those that are not too far from Internet cafes. Does anyone have any experience/suggestions/tips please?

Hi Nicholas. We have been to Spain for the last two winters and have found that internet access is not a problem. You will find some places offering free acccess to restaurant customers also loads of internet cafes. Prices vary but were usually no more than about 3euros for half an hour. We used them to keep in contact with familly and friends also to keep track of the finances. I set up our credit card and bank accounts to be controlled by web access and this worked fine.

One point to consider is to get a credit card that does not charge a fee to use abroad, I use Nationwide and the Caravan Club card both are free to use and do not charge the wapping 1.75% that other crds charge

Go for it - you'll love it!
