British couple holiday in a Spanish caravan park every winter as it’s cheaper than staying in the UK
Mike Townsend and his wife Jane said holidaying in Spain during this time of year is much cheaper than staying in the UK…
Mike and Jane have been spending their winters in Spain the last two years.
In April 2021, Mike and Jane purchased a four-birth Elddis motorhome, with a fixed bed at the back for extra comfort.
He told Sun Travel: “Our plan was to explore the UK for two or three years because there are so many great places here that we haven’t been to.
“But two of our friends, who already owned a motorhome, asked if we wanted to go on holiday in Spain.”
On their first motorhome holiday in Spain, they spent five weeks exploring the country.
And when the couple returned to the UK, they started planning their next campervan adventure.
Mike said: “Earlier this year, we spent five weeks driving through Spain and Portugal before we got the ferry back from Santander.”
“On our winter breaks, we try and stay at campsites that are associated with the Caravan and Motorhome Club.”
This is because the Caravan and Motorhome Club has some campsites that cost as little as £12 per night.
The breaks, which include a return ferry crossing with P&O from Dover to Calais, mean Brits spend six to 10 weeks in sunny Spain.
Mr Townsend explained: “We go in February and March to avoid the winter weather here in the UK, and we don’t have to pay for heating.”
It has more than 1,000 pitches, over 200 quality cabins to stay in, and plenty of modern amenities, including a hair salon, supermarket, gym and spa.
There’s also outdoor and heated pools with slides, restaurants, pubs, kids clubs, and playgrounds – everything you could need for a great family holiday.
