Spending the Winter in Spain in your Motorhome – Answering your questions.
We have been spending the winter in Spain since 2017 and loving it . During this trip we have collected quite a few questions from social media friends and followers so we thought we would have a go at answering them here.

Very informative video guys. Thanks for sharing. Karen & I will be spending Christmas & New Year in Florida and then get back to traveling in our van once we get back to the UK. Have a great Christmas when it comes around and Happy & safe travels in 2023.
With Starling and Revolute you can keep euros on same account and exchange when rates are good .If pay in euros will take money from the euro wallet on account. I exchanged when it was €1.20
Perfect informative vlog both. We will definitely check out the website and great tip about 6th January Three Kings Festivals we didn't know that.
Ste said he's surprised you've got a wallet being a Yorkshireman 🤣💜x
My first language is gibberish, second is English, third might be French
Really enjoyed that vlog once again and very informative. Keep up the good work you 2 and have a great time
Oooh thanks for the hint about ATM charges. I was quite startled by the proposed €7 charge for €40 withdrawal so this was a timely video!
We’ve been heading toward Seville and chasing the sunshine makes good sense too.
Got to love Spain 🇪🇸
Nice one.
excellent vlog as always 👊
I wild camp 3 years Spain and France too never used tool rods and why? you don't need to the other roads are great.
Loved your video… very informative…. can I ask are you both full time van lifers? Looking forward to your next video. Dunc and Bev x
Talking about LPG is that the bottles or the pumped LPG system or both? We have just enjoyed 6 weeks based in Orba, Costa Blanca but can relate to everywhere you have mentioned, we to love ESPANIA have been coming since 2016. However we are new to motorhomes so I find your videos so helpful.
Really informative. Thank you. We don’t have refillable gas in our motorhome but two 11kg bottles. I had read that we could buy an adapter and pigtail then source a Spanish bottle from a site. Do you know if this is possible? We stay on sites so could potentially just use electric for heating and fridge – is electric on sites very expensive? We are thinking of staying around a month in Spain.
Stunning 😍 😍 😍 🍾
Great vlog, although guess we had better find something for 6th January now 🤣🤣🤣
Love your videos, plus you’re the only YouTubers not to sell your soul to promoting products or services you wouldn’t buy yourself . Best motorhome videos on YouTube.
On one of these longer trips how much do you think you spend on diesel
Helpful video, we've not left these shores since the pandemic but hope to be venturing further afield soon!
Hi both, really enjoyed this video, the photography and videography was beautiful! So glad you are enjoying your experience in Spain and what a great time of year to be in Europe! Some great info there too. Safe travels XxRR
How do you cope with the 90 day rule? Do youbjust obey it?
Very good advice. I would only add that Costa Tropical, which is east of Malaga, also has excellent winter tempertures. Its a narrow area on the coast facing south with hills or mountains behind so is well protected from winds.
First congrats on Englands Round of 16 win tonight – bring on France!!. I was actually 'wild camping' very near Villa Joyosa on Saturday/ Sunday 26th & 27th, staying @ Paradis Beach with another 6 vans or so. Nice place. I watched Spain vs Germany draw in local bar. I know Xabia/Javea much better – if you haven't visited there, highly recommend. Wishing you an enjoyable continuation towards Portugal. Thanks for the excellent content!!
Loved the video so thanks for that. We are currently in Peniscola and working our way down towards Valencia, Alicante and onwards. Thinking about Christmas and wondered where you would recommend. We were thinking Malaga but it’s our first time so you probably have a better idea.
Really interesting listening to your answers guys! ☺👌
French like you to try to speak French so they can pretend not to understand you LOL. Tell The Travel Trolls where to find an authentic Paella so they wont really like it, and leave it all. Winter in Spain is wonderful.
Fabulous video, great tips and wonderful footage. Weather still looking good too. ATB Dave & Helen 👍
Over wintering in Portugal was my fave, but Brexit has taken the edge of spending more than 90 days in the EU.
