Hello - in 2 weeks we are going to Spain in our old campervan for a month.
long awaited and saved for.
We had planned to go to northern Spain and perhaps also go to Porto in Portugal
I have read that there is much rain in the north atm and for the forthcoming week .
We are in a v small van and we wd struggle without being mostly outside . I read that one lady , who has 2 dogs , is struggling to manage in a van with wet dogs and is thinking of leaving the area and driving to france.
A lot of people out there are there for a long period like 3 months - so they have the time to move locations and weatherchase, wheras we have 4 weeks , and we cant spend a week travelling just to get away from rain. We want to make the best of it, travel a bit , rest a bit.
We are thinking of going to the med side such as Valencia now instead to get the sun - to be comfortable.
we are people watching people- we love to sit reading in squares, hiking, countryside. We dont enjoy places like benedorm - but wd like spanish places not brit influenced places . We love cliff walks etc.
So my question s are
anyone been to northern spain - is it amazingly good
is it typically mixed weather
is the med side lovely? Enough countryside , dramatic scenery - between places .
( we love granada area)
We have been planning this trip for months and it s knocked my confidence re going to the north as me and dh may end up having a row in the rain - not sitting in the sun .
Any info on the areas around Valencia, almeria etc but not as far as seville perhaps. Happy to go inland as well as costal and have interest in national parks etc , little square s for wine, rivers, archtecture, dramatic scenery.
Thanks so much !!!! Feel so anxious!
