Planning to spend 3 or 4 week on this rally in La Manga, Feb and March. Has any one been there at this time in the past, and if so was it OK. Info would be much apprciated. We were planning to via Milau, would this route be passable at that time of the year?.

Thank you all in advance. Bob.

We have twice been to the rally in Feb/March time, and both times went south via Millau. We checked the weather conditions before leaving home to make sure there were unlikely to be any problems, and the route was fine. The only downside was finding sites open all year where we wanted to make our stops. 

Coming back once was very unusual snowy weather, as seen on Spanish TV, along with graphic pics of motorway crashes etc. along our chosen route via Zaragossa, Biarritz,etc so we used the motorway all the way, Barcelona, Perpignan, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Paris. A bit longer, but no snow until Paris!! Anothrer time came back via Lyon, and camped in several inches of snow in Beaune, but the motorways were clear of snow.
