So, it's Portugal Again for Me… (1 Viewer)

I'm not sure I can hang around for a whole year waiting for a fig!

Oh dear me...

The impatience of youth.

+ ah the promise of a fig ,(and at this stage i sincerely hope predictive text is not playing up), i could not wait so i booked the ferry to cherbourg on 22/11/2017 -- only 68 days !!!!

I am old...

Not got all that much time left.

I have found so many places that I love to visit in Portugal that nowadays I find myself going back to where I know I will enjoy, rather than risk time and diesel trying to find new places which I might not like.

Sounds a tad unadventurous I know, but I have had decades of visiting new places all over the world.

whinger-- but sadly this week i agree with you -see you in november!!

We are complete novices, having just purchased our Fifth Wheeler. We would love to winter in Portugal. What is your advice for routes and sites bearing in mind size of trailer and we haven't journeyed through Europe before

I would seriously consider the BF ferries from Portsmouth to Spain, not cheap but pulling a 5'er you will get a max of 20 mpg, at least that was my experience.

Sites could be more problematical, we have now permanently sited our 5'er near Tavira on what we consider a very good site but large pitches are mostly booked. There are other sites of course but our experience of Continental sites is that finding suitable pitches is not always easy for a 5'er, the only way to find out is to give it a go but be prepared to spend some time off site if no suitable pitches are available.

Portugal has become increasingly popular in the winter over the last few years, would you intend touring or using only one or two sites?

i have just re -read that and i sounded a bit rude- sorry!
so just trundle across to the coast around aveiro/porto- the signs there usually say motorhome parking. or motorhomes only ,(which seems welcoming).
the temperature will have gone up a bit and you can slowly travel south and learn to be content in portugal.
