pressed for time, here are the essential facts to know when planning your motorhome tour of Spain. We dive into more detail on each of these later in this guide.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Weather<\/strong> \u2013 Spain is an all-season destination, with the best winter weather being in the far south in Andalusia. Temperatures in summer can get uncomfortably hot, and many mountainous areas can see snow in winter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Currency<\/strong> \u2013 Spain uses the Euro (\u20ac). \u00a31 is worth around \u20ac1.2.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insurance<\/strong> \u2013 most motorhome insurance policies will cover Spain \u2013 check your policy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Language <\/strong>\u2013 Spain has a number of official languages. Castilian is spoken across the whole country, but you&#8217;ll also come across Basque, Catalan and others on a country-wide tour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Place to Stay <\/strong>\u2013 Camping&#8217;s big in Spain, although many sites away from the Med close over winter. You&#8217;ll also find motorhome aires and, at quieter times and in less tourist-oriented areas, free (wild) camping is easily possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mobile Phone and Internet<\/strong> \u2013 you can usually use your UK phone and Internet allowance in Spain, check with your provider. We use Three and Vodafone pay-as-you-go SIM cards for Internet (<a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/best-sims-for-roaming-internet-in-europe-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more information here<\/a>), and 1p Mobile SIM cards for phone calls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Getting there from the UK<\/strong> \u2013 there are ferry routes direct from the UK to northern Spain, or you can opt to take a ferry\/the Chunnel to France and drive down to the Pyrenees.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Renting a Van<\/strong> \u2013 if you don\u2019t have the time to drive your own motorhome, there are several companies renting vans in Spain.

Since then we&#8217;ve been wowed by the architectural wonders of Seville, Barcelona, C\u00f3rdoba and Grenada, been welcomed into the white hill towns of Andalucia, put our feet up on the beaches of the costas and squeezed down the mountain roads of the Pyrenees. Still, we&#8217;ve barely scratched the surface of sunny Espagne.<\/p>\n<p>Here are just a few of the places we&#8217;ve visited.

class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Like many countries in Europe, once you&#8217;re there, Spain can be toured in a motorhome without breaking the bank. While there are toll motorways, there&#8217;s also a good network of fast free roads. Diesel and petrol prices are relatively low (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fuel-prices-europe.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rough prices here<\/a>). Free (wild) camping is possible outside of heavily visited areas in summer (have a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/ourbumble.com\/european-wild-camping-database\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ourbumble.com&#8217;s wild camping map<\/a>). There&#8217;s a network of low cost motorhome aires, and over 200 campsites are listed in the out-of-season discounted camping ACSI CampingCard scheme (<a href=\"https:\/\/park4night.com\/carte_lieux\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">park4night.com lists over 10,000 places<\/a> to stay in Spain). Supermarket prices are relatively low, easpecially for wine! By eating the incredible value <em>men\u00fa del dia<\/em> at lunchtime, you can also eat out for as little as \u20ac10 a head for 3 courses, often including wine.<\/p>\n<p>One of the major costs for a tour of Spain is getting there and back from the UK. The obvious choices are to either take a ferry across the Bay of Biscay, or drive across France. As a general rule, it&#8217;ll be cheaper to drive across France, especially if you have the time to avoid toll roads, and you use aires to overnight (avoid aires directly on autoroutes, which have a poor security reputation). That&#8217;s a decent drive though! In 2019 we drove from <a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/our-2019-three-month-motorhome-tour-of-france-and-spain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Sebastian to Calais<\/a> using a mainly toll-free route, adding 1000km to our motorhome&#8217;s mileage (kilometerage?) and costing us \u20ac270 (\u00a3230) for the one-way trip. This was made up of fuel of \u20ac209, tolls of \u20ac42 and \u20ac20 for the <a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/across-the-basque-country-donostia-to-capbreton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paid aire at Capbreton<\/a>. It took us around 20 hours of driving.<\/p>\n<p>To get an idea of ferry crossing costs, have a look at a comparison site like\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aferry.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.aferry.co.uk<\/a>. Using this for our motorhome, crossings for two adults from Portsmouth to Santander in our 6m long Hymer B544 allowing 0.5m for the bike rack come in at roughly \u00a3800 return (\u00a3400 each way), depending on what cabin option we have, the time of year, the time of the crossing and so on. Note that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittany-ferries.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brittany Ferries<\/a> have a &#8216;no frills&#8217; economy sailing at weekends, which can bring the ferry cost down if you&#8217;re not looking for the cruising experience.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a pet, there are pet-friendly cabins but word is they sell out quickly, so book early.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-13ssb76-f23360978e16cd47630aab618687127f\">\n.flex_column.av-13ssb76-f23360978e16cd47630aab618687127f{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-13ssb76-f23360978e16cd47630aab618687127f av_one_half  avia-builder-el-50  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><p><section  class='av_textblock_section av-jopz8wzr-4b7436b8738008515aa1434c0ccfa80d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>We keep a track of all of our costs on each tour we do.

Even in the coldest months average lows on the coast are around 10\u00b0C, with average daily highs of roughly 16\u00b0C.

Source: WikiPedia<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The winter weather stays reasonable further north along the coast too, with many motorhome travellers enjoying the region around Benidorm, south of Valencia. Be aware that mountainous areas of Spain can be snow-bound at times during the winter. The Picos de Europa in the north, the Sierra Nevada around Granada and the Pyrenees are all obvious examples.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to head south for the winter and locate yourself in one spot, it&#8217;s worth doing some research into medium and long term reduced rates. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/search\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_il_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=dailyposts-21&#038;keywords=acsi campingcard&#038;index=aps&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=6738&#038;linkCode=xm2&#038;linkId=8f8f04965132b69384ba5cdfa3ad6559\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wplink-url-error=\"true\">the ACSI Camping Card scheme<\/a> is great for getting costs down for short out-of-season stays, some sites will offer even lower nightly rates for stays of a month or more. Consider booking in advance if you plan to do this, as the best sites are often reported to be full during the winter.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth knowing that southern and central Spain can get seriously hot in summer. We once unwittingly stayed too long into spring at <a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/our-first-house-sit-trustedhousesitters-com-valle-de-abdalajis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a house sit in Andalusia<\/a>, planning to head across the centre of the country. By the time we set off, temperatures were knocking on 40\u00b0C in the cities we wanted to visit. Our pooch wouldn&#8217;t cope with that kind of heat, so we found ourselves sticking to the coast and higher altitudes looking for cooler air and shade.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style

class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>To take your motorhome from the UK to Spain you have a basic choice:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>either take a ferry across the Bay of Biscay to Northern Spain,<\/li>\n<li>or take the Channel Tunnel or a ferry to Northern France, and drive across France to the Pyrenees. <a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/our-2019-three-month-motorhome-tour-of-france-and-spain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">On our 2019 tour<\/a> we drove to the eastern end of the Pyrenees, using the free A75 motorway south of Clermont-Ferrond. We returned from the western end of the Pyrenees mainly using the free N10. Click here for more <a href=\"https:\/\/about-france.com\/tourism\/routes-to-spain.htm\">advice here on driving routes<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.dft.gov.uk\/channel-disruption\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interactive Department for Transport map<\/a> shows the various ferry routes available: click on any of the ports to see crossing times, which ferry companies service that route and any current disruption to travel. Our personal preference is to drive across France, for these reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ju suffers sea sickness, and the Bay of Biscay routes are long old crossings, with a reputation for rough seas in winter.<\/li>\n<li>We used to travel with our pet dog, and wanted to avoid the cost and inconvenience of a long ferry crossing with him.<\/li>\n<li>We like France, and enjoy the drive across it.<\/li>\n<li>We had the time to spend several days (or more likely weeks) driving across France.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Clearly everyone has their own preferences for the drive to Spain, and the map below only shows a few examples of the possible routes. Both general routes across France head for the east and west edges of the Pyrenees, where they dip down towards the sea. The hills are relatively low here, and passable in winter.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Other than the busy roads around cities and along the Mediterranean coast, our experience of driving in Spain was very good. The road surfaces are generally in good condition, there are lots of free fast roads and traffic is usually light compared with the UK. That said, there are some challenges to be aware of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Speed limits away from motorways can feel very low and more than once we&#8217;ve found our speed creeping up on long cross-country routes. Motorhomes under 3500Kg can do 100kph on motorways, while those over 3500Kg are limited to 90kph (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanclub.co.uk\/overseas-holidays\/planning-your-route\/european-speed-limits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">from the Caravan Club<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>There are speed cameras in Spain, and they will happily send you a fine through the post. Keep an eye on the actual limits posted on the road rather than relying 100% on your satnav, as limits do change from time to time and for specific sections of road.<\/li>\n<li>Cities can be interesting to drive through and we try to avoid them where we can. We drove through Valencia, for example, finding ourselves trying to get around huge roundabouts with no lanes marked and requiring more bravery than we&#8217;d brought with us!<\/li>\n<li>In hilly areas crawler lanes are sometimes provided and are great for getting out of the way of faster traffic. Sometimes these continue at the end of the hill, so faster traffic has to get back into the right hand lane. Sometimes you have to merge back across to the left &#8211; keep an eye out for signs and arrows.<\/li>\n<li>You need your lights on for tunnels. There are signs to remind you as you enter and leave each tunnel.<\/li>\n<li>There are plenty of mountainous areas in Spain where the roads can be fairly steep, narrow, twisting and snow-bound in winter. Our experience (out of winter) has been most roads are passable in a motorhome, but check your map and perhaps look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Streetview<\/a> first if you&#8217;re concerned.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For a general overview of driving in Spain, <a href=\"https:\/\/about-spain.net\/travel\/driving.htm\">have a read of this website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-d72fhu-c8269c1a4ebf8af3eeedcd9cce6a4978\">\n.flex_column.av-d72fhu-c8269c1a4ebf8af3eeedcd9cce6a4978{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-d72fhu-c8269c1a4ebf8af3eeedcd9cce6a4978 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-90  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jslxlnzi-509c3fe5635514a13aff20b7b7beab08\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-jslxlnzi-509c3fe5635514a13aff20b7b7beab08{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-jslxlnzi-509c3fe5635514a13aff20b7b7beab08 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-jslxlnzi-509c3fe5635514a13aff20b7b7beab08 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-jslxlnzi-509c3fe5635514a13aff20b7b7beab08 av-special-heading-h4  avia-builder-el-91  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><h4 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Road Rules in Spain<\/h4><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-13ssb76-c367d898122acb00c14b1564c09921d5\">\n.flex_column.av-13ssb76-c367d898122acb00c14b1564c09921d5{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-13ssb76-c367d898122acb00c14b1564c09921d5 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-92  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-jopz8wzr-4b7436b8738008515aa1434c0ccfa80d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Right &#8211; some stuff to know about driving in Spain before you arrive!

The payment amount will then be displayed to you. Some sections of toll road have a fixed fee, so you don&#8217;t get a ticket for these roads.<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re in a right hand drive vehicle with no passenger, be prepared to undo your seat belt and cross over to the passenger side to get tickets and pay tolls.<\/li>\n<li>You can get an auto payment tag allowing you to use the non-stop \u00a0&#8216;Telepeaje&#8217;, &#8216;VIA-T&#8217; or &#8216;T&#8217; lanes, which works in Portugal and France too:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bipdrive.com\/en\/toll-system\/\">more information at this official website<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>All motorhomes pay the same rate, regardless of whether you&#8217;re over 3.5 tonnes or not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-d72fhu-c8269c1a4ebf8af3eeedcd9cce6a4978\">\n.flex_column.av-d72fhu-c8269c1a4ebf8af3eeedcd9cce6a4978{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-d72fhu-c8269c1a4ebf8af3eeedcd9cce6a4978 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-102  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jslxmkf5-b27e1b4be30c51cef80983f81011b826\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-jslxmkf5-b27e1b4be30c51cef80983f81011b826{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-jslxmkf5-b27e1b4be30c51cef80983f81011b826 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-jslxmkf5-b27e1b4be30c51cef80983f81011b826 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-jslxmkf5-b27e1b4be30c51cef80983f81011b826 av-special-heading-h4  avia-builder-el-103  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><h4 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Low Emission Zones in Spain<\/h4><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-13ssb76-c367d898122acb00c14b1564c09921d5\">\n.flex_column.av-13ssb76-c367d898122acb00c14b1564c09921d5{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-13ssb76-c367d898122acb00c14b1564c09921d5 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-104  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-jopz8wzr-4b7436b8738008515aa1434c0ccfa80d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>A handful of Spanish cities have &#8216;clean air&#8217; restrictions over which vehicles can enter their centres, including Barcelona, Valencia and Madrid.

They&#8217;re normally a drive-over drain, with an installation off to one side with two taps: one for taking on fresh water and one for rinsing your cassette out. A few tips for finding and using service points in Spain:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Unlike in neighbouring France, service points in Spain are almost all &#8216;artisan&#8217;, meaning they&#8217;re not commercial machines.<\/li>\n<li>Spain uses three different tap sizes, so it&#8217;s worth carrying \u00bd&#8221;, \u00be&#8221; and 1&#8243; thread <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/search\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_il_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=dailyposts-21&#038;keywords=hozelock connector&#038;index=aps&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=6738&#038;linkCode=xm2&#038;linkId=96bf1c00055d2e23561b3dd3aa282aa1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wplink-url-error=\"true\">Hozelock adapters<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Almost all campsites have service points. If you pay to stay on a site, the services are included. If you don&#8217;t stay, some sites will still let you pop in and use the services for a few Euros.<\/li>\n<li>There are thousands of service points outside of campsites in Spain. You can find them using apps like <a href=\"http:\/\/campercontact.com\">campercontact.com<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/park4night.com\">park4night.com<\/a>. Many of them are free.<\/li>\n<li>In winter water supplies may be turned off at times when the supply might freeze, so plan to visit a few aires or nip into a campsite from time to time.<\/li>\n<li>In some areas of the country there are fresh water springs provided away from service points where you can take in water using a carrier.<\/li>\n<li>Some folks unwittingly use the fresh water tap for

One top tip for eating out is the\u00a0<em>men\u00fa del dia<\/em>, which is generally an early afternoon three course meal (with 2 or 3 choices), sometimes including wine, for very low prices, typically \u20ac12 to \u20ac18 a head. More <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/menu-del-dia-3083225\">about\u00a0<em>men\u00fa del dia<\/em> here<\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Supermarkets are generally good value too, especially the wine! We tended to use the Alimerka, Lidl, and Super U chains. If paying with your credit card you may need to show your passport as ID (this is the case for any shopping you\u2019re doing). Most places will accept your driving license, but we did have ours refused in one supermarket and we didn\u2019t have our passports with us, fortunately we had just enough cash.<\/p>\n<p>Some larger supermarkets have <em>men\u00fa del dia<\/em> specials at their hot food counters where you can get a three course meal and drink for around \u20ac10 per person \u2013 there was loads of foods so we split the meal and ate it over several days. Larger stores often have a self-service aisle where you can bag your own dried goods, pasta, rice, cereal etc \u2013 but it\u2019s worth double-checking these prices against their discount range as often the discount one is cheaper, but the packet size is large.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

We&#8217;ve done this many times, and have had no issues. A few hints and tips if you want to tour Spain with your dog or dogs:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>If you don&#8217;t have a pet passport, contact your vet early as it can take some weeks\/months to get them arranged.<\/li>\n<li>To return into the UK you&#8217;ll need a vet on the continent to administer a worming treatment and then allow between 24 hours and 5 days before re-entering the UK.<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;ll need to declare your pets when booking the ferry or Channel Tunnel, and pay an additional fee for them.<\/li>\n<li>Spain doesn&#8217;t generally allow pets onto public transport. This can limit your ability to visit cities and other attractions, particularly in summer, unless you have air conditioning in your van to enable you to leave your pet inside.<\/li>\n<li>Although Spanish supermarkets have wide ranges of pet food available, don&#8217;t assume your specific brand will be on the shelves. Either take enough for your trip, research ahead to see if it can be bought in Spain, or plan to transition your dog to locally-available food.<\/li>\n<li>Leishmaniasis\u00a0is endemic in Mediterranean Europe, so plan to get either a Scalibor collar or Advantix treatment which protects against sand flies, as well as ticks and fleas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Note that when the UK leaves the EU, it may be necessary for your pet dog(s) to have a rabies blood test which, depending on how the UK is treated post-Brexit, could delay your departure from the UK by up to four months (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/pet-travel-to-europe-after-brexit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check the official government web page here<\/a>). We&#8217;d recommend talking to your vet as early as possible so you&#8217;re up-t0-speed on what you need to do.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\"
