Portugal in February?

[snowie]

Assuming we can get on a ferry (maybe big assumption!!) we are planning some Vitamin D enhancement for a few weeks from mid Feb.

Alentejo; Portubal, Evora, Setubal, Beja and Algarve areas.

Any site recommendations? maybe one or two "aires" just in case, no "wild-camping" thanks.

If we can get a ferry we'll go Portsmouth -Santander, drive quickly along to Santiago de Compostello? and then down the coast road to Lisbon area etc.

Depending on weather we'll aim to drive back (7-10 days) to Dieppe 4 weeks later.

Hopefully enough sites will be open and have vacancies!

Any helpful suggestions welcome,

regards

Weather can be great, you will probably get a few days rain at some time but a dry country needs it.

 

This morning we are at Camping Alentejo between Evoramonte and Estremoz, a friendly campsite, clean and organised,price €9 a night for 2 peopleplus the electricity used,14C now at 8.48am. This is a great place for a bit of a wine tour, there are large and small vinyards with wine tastings, fabulous scenery, lots of castles and good food.

Thanks for the suggestion; we've just booked the ferry!

Hoping for a reasonable "voyage"
