Long stay in Spain/Portugal (1 Viewer)

[bobandjanie]

I agree with JJ, and think possible in Portugal, without wild camping / free loading we found places to stay for €6 a night including electric water and wifi.:thumb: Bob.

Thank you all, especially JJ, have been to Alvor just down the road, [HI]might bypass Spain [/HI]and head straight for Portugal.
Appreciate all the comments, got a bit confused with some of the posts?
But thank you
Steve

Might find this a tad tricky!

JJ :Cool:

its is doable but it depends what your needs are i found portugal the cheapest regarding sites try pedro's at albufeira if the price is still the same 7.5 euro a night including leci water and wifi i also found the aires in portugal ok the 1 at lagos is good with free wifi as well

ByPass Sapin,

Ha ha, good point. Should have said long term stop in Spain?
Compared to Pinkies adventure I feel a bit of a wet weekend

We overwintered in Spain last year. If you don't eat out often we managed (without doing without anything (i.e. wine, whisky etc) including deisel, site fees food n sundries on €1000 a month max. That is EUROS!!! :thumb:

Myself and my late partner Dawn did Spain for 3 and a half months in January/April 2009 and I don't think we spent quite that much a month!! The actual sum escapes me but I don't think we did that much but then it was 4 years ago deisel was a tad cheaper as were site fees etc..I reckon 800 a month is do-able no probs..

Very do-able !!!

I usually overwinter every year, I negotiate site fees, usually around 300 t0 350 Euros a month including leccy ! Avoid the big supermarkets, go for lidle or aldi ! Portugal is far nicer than Spain, as Ukbill said head for Pedro's, not sure if he is still there as no website, but there are plenty more !:thumb:
Get the Spain & Portugal aires book, lots of places in there at very reasonable or no cost ! The Orbitur chain of site do discounts for long stay wrinklies, good one at Sagres where you can also wildcamp ! been there, done it and got the T shirt !oh: hope this helps !:thumb:

Also , get yerself a leccy bike for the shopping !:Blush::Blush::Blush:

 

[durhamahoy]

HI,

Leccy bikes, funnily enough I was looking at them the other day (about £650 each).
Think it's going to be Portugal, love the area around Alvor/Portamao/Lagos

Can't thank people enough for taking time to reply

Steve

:thanks2:

cheap winter stays

Hi, there is a real good deal at a site on the Italian riviera at a place called Diano marina near San Remo. We just stayed there and from Oct 1st you can stay for 30 days at 100€, a real bargain. The weather is really good there too, it has a microclimate once you get over the mountains. Near to Monaco by local train 11€ return. I would return for a long stay here anytime.
The site is called OASI camping park and you can type its name onto google for details. Phil

Don't know from personal experience but why not stay in Portugal? Partner's daughter just back from 6 months away and kept returning to Portugal. Couldn't get over the friendliness of the people and how very cheap everything was. Plenty of free camping too.
