Hi.Can anyone please help we are going down to Benidorm early Feb and have not been that far before but have now retired so time is not a problem anymore ( hopefully ) We will be taking a caravan from Calais so which would be the best way ? do we have to use the toll roads or are the ordinary roads o.k.to use.Also could anyone advise roughly how long it would take and how many overnight stops we would need to take.Any help would be appreciated.

 Thanks a million.Derek   

When we have been down to Spain in Feb, we find it worth checking the weather websites a day or so before leaving, so we can pick out the mildest route. We use motorway all the way, and take 2 overnight stops in France, cross the border by Perpignan, then one more stop between Barcelona and Valencia. We tend to stop earlyish in the day eg 3pm, as we have a dog with us, and like to get everyone a decent walk and a meal. That way, it feels like part of the holiday, and not a chore. It can be a challenge to find sites open, but we now have a few we use according to the route taken. Do some route planning using the viamichelin website. Also good for the weather forecasts( under tourism)
