Hi Everyone , I would be grateful for any help/advice for first time abroad . I'm booked on Portsmouth to Bilbao on 8th January towing 7.5m Swift single axle . Have booked with the club and have 4 overnight site vouchers to use . Am thinking of travelling to southern Spain for the warmer weather but have not booked anywhere as yet . Any suggestions as to where to stop overnight on the way down ? Do the Spanish have municipal sites ? Are they any good ? Wife will require numerous toilet breaks , at home we just pull into layby and use the van , can we do this in Spain ? or do we have to use services ?

Any pointers greatly appreciated .

Am travelling tomorrow so will be evening before i  can log-in again 

Anyone else travelling on same ship or route ?

(Some local motorcyclists were returning from a trip to Germany recently and were asked for their IDPs when stopped in France.)

That was a bit cheeky. We haven't left yet and, as has been pointed out, we have a transition period until the end of the year.

Even while the UK is still within the EU and IDP is required if the national driving licence doesn't carry a photograph, so without further details one can't say whether the action was appropriate or not.
