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\u00a0 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\u2019s Internet with Legs SIM cards for Internet, 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. Expect prices of roughly \u00a3700 to \u00a31000 a week for a two berth C Class coachbuilt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Customs<\/strong> \u2013 you can cross borders between EU countries with large amounts of alcohol and tobacco, as long as it&#8217;s for personal use.

Since then we&#8217;ve been wowed by the architectural wonders of Seville, Barcelona 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 Espagne.<\/p>\n<p>Here are just a few of the places we&#8217;ve visited.

><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 noreferrer\">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 noreferrer\">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. Supermarket prices are relatively low, easpecially fr wine! By eating the incredible value\u00a0<em>men\u00fa del dia<\/em> at lunchtime, you can also eat out for as little as \u20ac12 a head, for 3 courses 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! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.viamichelin.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">According to Michelin<\/a>, driving all the way from our home in Nottingham to San Sebastian is around 915 miles, and 16 hours of driving, if we&#8217;re using motorways. Avoiding motorways drops the distance to 860 miles, but pushes up the driving to 24 hours. In practice we find we&#8217;re slower than mapping apps, so we&#8217;d expect it to take perhaps 20% longer than that.<\/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 noreferrer\">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, depending on what cabin option we have, the time of year, the time of the crossing and so on.

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 the ACSI Camping Card scheme 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 house sit in Andalusia, planning to head across the centre of 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

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 (get\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/about-france.com\/tourism\/routes-to-spain.htm\">advice here on driving routes<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This <a

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.

It also seems to be fine to be parked in some spots with nothing outside the van, but if you use ramps to get level that&#8217;s not OK.<\/p>\n<p>If in doubt, ask the local police or tourist information office if it&#8217;s OK to stay. We&#8217;ve done this in some more remote areas and being made very welcome by the police, while being politely asked to move by the police while free parked (with nothing outside the van) in Benidorm

We carry cash as not all cards are accepted at the payment booths.<\/li>\n<li>On toll roads, you generally get a ticket from a machine when you enter the road, and then present it to the toll booth when you leave. 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 first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jpck5t34-444937dea4831499c9001270c23a0bbd\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-jpck5t34-444937dea4831499c9001270c23a0bbd{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-jpck5t34-444937dea4831499c9001270c23a0bbd .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-jpck5t34-444937dea4831499c9001270c23a0bbd .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-jpck5t34-444937dea4831499c9001270c23a0bbd av-special-heading-h3'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Low Emission Zones in Spain<\/h3><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 first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><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>Almost all campsites have them. 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>.<\/li>\n<li>In winter water supplies may be turned off at times when the supply might freeze.<\/li>\n<li>Some folks unwittingly use the fresh water tap for rinsing their toilet cassette: we use anti-bacterial wipes to clean the tap before attaching a hose pipe or using a collapsible water carrier.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

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.

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<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 first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jpe6496y-c084e35d9b715aa1e27630041edfc066\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-jpe6496y-c084e35d9b715aa1e27630041edfc066{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-jpe6496y-c084e35d9b715aa1e27630041edfc066 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-jpe6496y-c084e35d9b715aa1e27630041edfc066 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-jpe6496y-c084e35d9b715aa1e27630041edfc066 av-special-heading-h1'><h1 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Doing Laundry in Spain<\/h1><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\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 first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-joqzq52i-c266a3856a2fa4f3b148f0246cfe0ff3\">\n.avia-image-container.av-joqzq52i-c266a3856a2fa4f3b148f0246cfe0ff3 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-joqzq52i-c266a3856a2fa4f3b148f0246cfe0ff3 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-joqzq52i-c266a3856a2fa4f3b148f0246cfe0ff3 av-styling- avia-align-center'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-31669 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-31669 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/lavomatic-launderettes-spain-motorhome.jpg\" alt='lavomatic launderettes spain motorhome' title='lavomatic launderettes spain motorhome'  height=\"605\" width=\"788\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/lavomatic-launderettes-spain-motorhome.jpg 788w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/lavomatic-launderettes-spain-motorhome-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/lavomatic-launderettes-spain-motorhome-768x590.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/lavomatic-launderettes-spain-motorhome-705x541.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/lavomatic-launderettes-spain-motorhome-450x345.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\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 flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-jopz8wzr-4b7436b8738008515aa1434c0ccfa80d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Motorhome travellers in Spain don&#8217;t enjoy the same network of self-service launderettes found in France, and we often found ourselves heading into campsites just so we could access their washing machines and hang out laundry to dry.<\/p>\n<p>There are launderettes in Spain though, especially useful if you can plan ahead, including some at Repsol garages.

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.
