derek500 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 w1ntersun - 2008-07-02 8:55 AM Re benicassim, Its a bit too far north for Jan but is a good site. We go to alcossebre Play tropicana ( Same coast section ) but not until the end of Feb Richard As someone who lives here in Valencia, I would say the winter weather is just as good if not better than further south on the Costa de Sol. The coast from Vinarós down to Castellón is very popular with winter sun seekers. The area can be easily reached using non-toll roads, I never travel faster than 90kph and staying in free aires in three days, from Calais/Dunkerque.

horse444 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 hi, we went to La Manga last October (like every-one else in search of sun) the weather was slightly better, but we were bitten alive, we were not to impressed with the site, as some-one else said, parts of it were like shanty town, It was suitable for large units, and they all seemed to meet there there for the winter. the shops were expensive and its not a place we would rush back too. Benicassim is lovely, and site excellent. we also visted La Marina outside Alicante and it is 5 star, with everything you would need or want.

Hymer C 9. Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Jean & Ray - 2008-07-01 10:02 AM Hello Hymer C9, We go to Portugal towards the end of September. The longest we have stayed is mid January. (But only moved on because 3 or 4 months in one place is enough for us (we like a change after that) November and December are generally the rainy months but we always are able to sit outside in between this rain or go Algarve shopping. There is always somewhere to go or something to do. It is an all year round thing. The Camping & Caravan club rally starts about 10th January and lasts for about 77 days although we don't use the rally. We know there are some Brits who stay as long as April or May depending on when the weather here picks up here in England. Hope this helps. Jean & Ray Thanks for the information, I am following this thread with interest. Carol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
