Driving through Spain in January

[JudeAdamsSings]

Hi everyone. We have an Eriba caravan. We are looking into driving to southern Spain in January (getting a ferry to Santander). Can anyone advise on the best routes down to the Almeria area avoiding as many mountains as possible? Thank you.

It's bloody cold in the middle of Spain so don't plan any stops

Make sure you have winter tyres, all season tyres or chains. You might need them.

Some of us have done this.

Logrono, Teruel, Valencia, Alicante, Algeria gets you into warmer weather (by the sea) more quickly than heading due South. Few (if any) tolls after Tuelada.
The stop at Teruel Dinopolis overnight is safe and, further on, Navajas ACSI campsite safer and warmer. I would book Navajas, if you know you can reach it in a day.

Have you checked the ferry availability as they sell out pretty fast.

I’ve asked on Eribafolk. I didn’t get much of a response initially so I’ll check in again and ask on Eribalife too. Thank you.

Teruel is one of the coldest places in Spain. Bit of a winding road through there too.
