As part 1 of our adventure shortly draws to a close..we share with you the cost of winter in Spain with a caravan...ferry crossings, diesel costs driving down and touring, campsite fees and toll costs...compare that with the cost of heating your home through the UK weather now and learning the art of budgeting through the year and saving...is it worth it? Absolutely xx

Hello you two. We're wardens for one of the big clubs and did six weeks in Spain at the end of our season before coming back for Christmas. Staying at Cabopino (worth a look) nr Marbella at about £13 a night booked through CAMC. Going to Portugal this winter via Costa del Sol so will stop there again. Take Care. 😎😎
@gypsysoulsjudymark.escapet7388
Stephen Dickson....thanks for saying this as we too have seen that campsite and we're considering it...the only thing puts me off is that its shaded and lots of pine trees and those hairy caterpillars that are deadly to dogs? Can u help with this dod you see any? Love idea of pool bar activities and good price you paid. We are not booking this year as we heard its better not to from seasoned winterers...we considered portugal too but worried about the windy weather there?? Xx
@gypsysoulsjudymark.escapet7388
Stephen Dickson iterested to know how you got on with your 8 meter twin axle did you use moterways and what port did you go from? We are going from plymouth this year due to work location. Xx
@sanjayd7230
@sanjayd7230 6 лет назад
Gypsy Souls Judy Mark and Summer They had allocated us a pitch at bottom of site too close to the road and as you say in the shade under pine trees so before we even reversed on we asked to move - the staff couldn't be more helpful and we moved a few rows up. We didn't see or hear of the catapillar thingys but we were there Nov & Dec is that the right time for the little blighters? There's a lot of seasonals on and the atmosphere was quite good. Buses just outside and easy walk to the beach with a few bars that sell beer!

Gypsy Souls Judy Mark and Summer We went Portsmouth Bilbao £900 and something with 4 berth window cabin. Sailing times fitted in with us, stopped at Salamanca (brill) on way down and Haro on return (for wine) amongst others, used Spanish motorways that you don't pay for and a couple of tolls that didn't break the bank. We've done Plymouth- Roscoff, Portsmouth-St Malo many times and Poole-Cherbourg. Bay of Biscay was a mill pond but don't bank on that! Club Voyage saved us a few ££s too. Dog cabins get snapped up (excuse the pun) quickly but there are kennels and a small doggy area. xx

Hi guys, I've just stumbled across your videos and it's nice to see you're doing something my partner and I have thought about. I have a couple of questions for you. Do you work while in Spain and how did you find your jobs as campsite wardens back in U.K.? I'm sure as time goes by there will be more questions. Keep living the Dream! 👍
@gypsysoulsjudymark.escapet7388
Hi Andy - sorry I missed this comment RU-vid popped it in Spam! If you watch the vid about applying to be a CC warden itll explain how we went about it all, it really was a case of one day (mid Aug 2017) lets apply then we got a fab job offer in a location by the October 2017. Once I get an idea in my head thats it I dont give up till its achieved. We dont work in Spain the plan is to work work work all summer and save save save - for winter chilling in Spain. Good luck there are jobs out there now always as some people start and then leave keep checking everyday. I just wish Id thought of it sooner xx

@niallosullivan3483
@niallosullivan3483 5 лет назад
Would it not be cheaper to sail to Santander and drive the 7 hours to Alicante, and bypass France entirely? If i went rom Ireland to Cherbourg and drove to Alicante it would be more expensive due to fuel and tolls, than sailing all the way to Santander and taking the (toll free) motorway to Madrid and on to Alicante.
@niallosullivan3483
@niallosullivan3483 5 лет назад
It would save a lot of wear and tear on the car tyres & caravan tyres too, and you can relax on the ferry and bring your own food and beer or the cabin. Any additional expense that you would otherwise incur in France would be negated I think. From Cork (Ireland) to Santander us 26 hours on the ferry, so It's a long trip but you move as fast as you would by car with caravan in tow, . Plus, if you get a night-time sailing, you can get on the boat an go to sleep for the night. When you wake up, you're already a long way rom England.
@gypsysoulsjudymark.escapet7388
@@niallosullivan3483 hi Niall thanks for your extensive reply but we enjoy the drive down and one overiding factor why we do the short crossing on ferry is our dear old dog summer she is almost 14 and has never been in a kennel. I would not even think of such a long crossing for her welfare. So for us this is why we do the short crossing while Summer is still with us... Of course one day we may do santander but hopefully not for a few years yet x
