WINTER CARAVANING IN SPAIN

[Wayne_5133334]

We are considering doing some winter caravaning in southern Spain. We will be going by ourselves and would appriciate veiws of the best club to book/go with or whether to go direct to Spainish sites with bookings etc. Are rallies a better bet? if so which. Also best areas and main pitfalls and problems. How safe is the adventure given the reports of French/Spainish criminals targeting caravaners.

Regards Wayne

Wayne, if you're thinking of getting down as far as Malaga, this site may be handy to know.

Hi Wayne,

Thousands go down there and only a few have any problems.

Not many Spanish sites will accept bookings for winter and most have good rates if you stay at least a month, but for a short stay can seem expensive.

Maybe one of the UK Caravan clubs rallies would be a good idea for a first time. Lots of people on those go to other sites as well and could suggest places to visit.

Smaller places can be a bit dead in winter with restaurants closed. The bigger the resort the cheaper the cost of living will be. We often have a Chinese menu including a half bottle of wine and coffee after for 4_.
