  • Through the keyhole look at what its really like to live on a campsite in Spain...We met Jan and Mac, Lynne and Mick who explain the lifestyle they choose to have in the sun instead of the UK. Both couples very happily retired they share with you the costs to do this, comparisons with how far their money goes in Spain compared to the UK, Why they choose Benidorm and a tour of their Hobby VIP 695 and the awning set up with a real wow factor, and a tour of Villasol and the pitches. Its a long vlog to ensure we cover all the questions you asked and wanted to know...A massive thank you to both couples for welcoming us and sharing a snapshot of their lives with us all x

    Fabulous vlog Judy & Mark. Sounds a great way to spend your retirement better than hiding away during the winter months back in the uk.. The site and pitches look lovely I think all caravaners generally look out for each other it’s a great community to be involved with Keep your vlogs coming.

      I couldn't agree more the caravan/motorhome community do look out for each other everyone is friendly and helpful or certainly the ones we have met on our adventures...heres the thing when we lived in Bristol everyone is so busy you hardly know your neighbours in fact i knew my immediate 2 each side and that was it...it really is a camping community and it must be great to have this camaraderie every day x

      The permanent plots you now have to buy not just the plot but the caravan and awning pitched on it too they dont just sell the plot on its own. This applies on this site not sure about other sites. I know crazy re the air fares when you think how much it costs to drive and tow down...however we have our dog so itll be this way for now x

    Hi. Thanks for that very informative video.
    I have family in Calpe, Alicante and am considering driving down from the UK for a few months. I just have to decide which camping site to stop at.
    I own a micro camper - a converted 2002 Renault Kangoo. Do I have to own a big van to stay there or can I stay in my own little van? I do also have a tent should I need extra space but shouldn't be necessary

      Hi Laura - Im sure any campsite will allow you on as I know defiantly Los Llanos will. Last year we met a great lady solo traveller called Fiona who also had a converted Renault Kangoo fab little camper...and a tent she pitched at the side for storage. She travelled all over Spain up to Italy and across to Croatia xxx

    There is something I just don't understand...
    I am considering doing something similar next year - not in Benidorm, probably more around Valencia or Alicante, and I'll be moto camping, but the basic idea is the same.
    According to all my research, you cannot live in a camping in Spain for more than 6 months a year, and you cannot get residency there...
    The resident status is necessary to have a Spanish medical insurance, Spanish registered vehicle and insurance and so on.
    So what I don't get is... How are these people doing to go around that? If I got it right they live there year round - just like I've seen in the "bargain loving Brits" series... Except it's not supposed to be legal. So if there is a solution to that problem I'd love to know what it is :)
