Hi there

We went 2 yrs ago and weather was great, high 20s low 30s if I remember rightly, was definitely very warm and sea was fine to swim in.

We live in Norfolk and drove down to Plymouth then got ferry to Santander. We then spent 3 nights in spain and then worked our way down the west coast of spain and france for 2 weeks eventually getting back to calais.

The holiday was great and will definitely be doing again.

we went with friends who also had a T3 which made it even more fun on the long hall drives.

was a mamoth ask of the old bus but she didnt miss a beat lets just hope the new one does the same when we go to france in 10 days :D

We ventured from nr Lerida to Bilbao at the beginning of May. We had anything from 18 degrees to 30 degrees. Lovely around the bilbao coast in the Mundaka area.

It was also nice in Catalonia around Ager as well as Zaragoza (there's a municpal site on the outskirts of the city)
