i'm gobsmacked at all the different landscapes in spain, beautiful and stunning, and my perception of spain has changed since i joined up here a few years back and seen the many photos put on from members and particularly yourself, so i thank you for that..

Yes as we have family on the coast in S Spain your travels inland have whetted our appetite. Shoulder seasons probably best, as although we like sun, Spain can be too hot!
 

and, if you tried VERY hard, you could get camera shots similar to that in the UK. at certain times of year, we even have our own mini 'Barrier Reef' off Norfolk I'm told, (interesting pics though.) :LOL:
 
I think as motorhomers/travelers we know how diverse Spain is, when I tell friends I'm going to Spain for 3 Months I know they just picture the package holiday scene.

We know that the UK has some stunning places, but not a lot of people know that Spain has also 👍

and totally agree with you too, but i expect you can say that about most countries as they all have diverse landscapes, but i think where spain trumps us is with better, warmer and sunnier weather most years..

so where is this aussie type 'barrier reef' then mister hobo ?

Great illustration of the staggering variety of stunning scenery in Spain! (y)

Apologies, slightly off topic but, coincidentally, a similar thing appeared in the Mail yesterday, but it was about locations in the UK versus abroad. :giggle:

26 spectacular beaches located in the UK or on a far-flung coastline?

The photo with the boats, Toni?

It's possibly Formentera, one of the islands.

The white area is the salt flats near Torrevieja.

Sorry, I'm not savvy enough to transpose the site so just Google, Norfolk's Barrier Reef and it's on there. Good Luck! :LOL: ( if you have problems, I will get the co-ordinates.)
 
Please stop telling others how nice Spain is. The country is busy enough without extra visitors and I want to see more of it without having to fight the crowds.

I think more should be encourage to stay anywhere but the UK. We oldies will look after that! :LOL:

Shame about the weather and inbuilt hatred of Motorhomes.

Wait a few years, the weather (if last year was anything to go by) might change.
Cannot say the same about the attitude towards Motorhomes?
Perhaps! If all the Motorhome population (not just some) tried really hard to be less selfish and more considerate, it might help?
The country is overcrowded for a 'small' island and we must recognise that! :unsure:

I vaguely remember when the MCZ was announced it created a bit of a stir amongst the local boats who were losing their shellfishing rights in the affected zone.

but have since reaped the benefit of these breeding grounds in near waters. It was not just East Anglia that was affected but others around the British coastline, Lundy Island for example.
 
Admit it, you only follow them for my scary videos. :rofl:


Well, they are added interest.

We've been well and truly stuck in the past. Stuck enough that access out, to check out our position, was through the roof light and down the ladder on the back.

It's comforting to see others have an "oooops" moment 😂
