South Americans travelling to Europe to buy a motorhome and tour the continent (1 Viewer)

Non EU resident visitor visa... Only 90 days

I wonder if it could be extended or a new one acquired in Morocco.

As others have suggested, doing Europe in 90 days will only give you time for fleeting glimpses of the countries you will be travelling through but it can certainly be done. I suggest identify the highlights you want to see, based on your interests and plot a route linking them together.

Given the common language I think you would enjoy Spain and certainly have the best chance of good weather in the winter.

We spent 90 days just driving around half of Spain this year. Each blue blob is a place we stopped and on average we only spent two nights at each. Most were just for one night with a few longer stays of up to four or five nights.

The base map isn't mine but the blobs, text and lines were done in Photoshop - but I am sure the free program Gimp could do something similar.

Howdy everyone, and sorry for the lack of updates to this thread. We ended up buying the motorhome here in Chile (see this thread for details, and this other one for our current predicament, BTW please advise there if you can).

Of course our plans to tour Europe are still up; we are now planning to do it next Spring so as to get nicer weather, as we no longer need to do it in late autumn to try and get the best prices.

Cheers,

@DBK, many thanks for the tips and the Spain route. We've learned that one could spend an entire lifetime travelling around Europe and still not see it all, so our goal for that 90-day trip is to get a general feel for as many different areas we can, and then elect specific areas to come back later for more focused visits.

Amazing job! Our planning tool for the moment has been Google Maps (more specifically, Google My Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/about/mymaps/) but you certainly did a nice one with PS.

Cheers,
