Informative Websites for European Travellers.

I don't think the 90 day restriction would really effect us. In all the years of travelling I think the longest I have spent on the Continent on a single trip is 60 days. I like to keep it to about 42 days or even a couple of shorter trips (rare). If I or anyone else did decide to stay longer surely it cannot be too difficult to get a visa?

Having just returned from Spain I saw no signs of their tourism industry ailing due to lack of British visitors. If it has been ailing it's for other reasons (maybe Covid etc.). I got the impression that the French have been filling vacant spots left by Brits.

Switzerland, although not in the EU, is a Schengen country and has been all along.

This has been my take on the issue. The Spanish have recently done their very best to clean out those Brits who have caused so many detrimental issues in their tourist areas. They are now attempting to attracting a better clientele from elsewhere in Europe and it seems to be working.

I flatter myself to consider  myself  part of the "better clientele" and I assume your take Is based on packages to a concrete jungle or maye just newspapers.

It certainly  isnt mine or anyone with actual experience of caravan or motorhome holidays in that delightful country using what are undeniably the best sites Europe that there is anywhere with greater a variety of attractions,landscape, culture or wild places to be found in one country. We have been made welcome everywhere we been, you should try it yourself.

I really don’t think the Spanish Tourist industry were trying to cleanse themselves of the likes of us as well you know, David but those Brits abroad have done us a terrible disservice and given us a bad name In certain European tourist hotspots. I do hope the Spanish Tourist industry can rid themselves of such louts as they are hoping to do by the actions they are now taking. By the way, I do try it regularly, just not in my motorhome! What’s more, it’s the locals that mention the poor behaviour of my fellow compatriots.

+1 Micky boy 100%👍🏻. I was told by campervan friends they were shocked by the lack of respect & care in both Spain & Portugal shown by LV’ers particularly the LV’ers lack of care taken in flora & fauna sensitive areas. It wasn’t the typical yob types either but what was seemingly respectable couples/families🙁. Very sad. It’s good you are further giving voice to the environments struggle.

I very recently undertook a railway tour of Spain visiting several cities. What surprised me was the fantastic rail systems across the county. Clean, fast, quiet, comfortable, relatively cheap and enjoyable. What’s more, they were very proud of the networks relationship with nature and those related eco aspects. Every kilometre or so there were wildlife corridors allowing fauna and flaunt safe passage across/under the lines. I was very impressed. Totally in contrast to our state of affairs in all aspects of rail transportation.

It's a fabulous  country and if you wanted  to do more than scratch the surface of it take your MH and visit the wild places no package will ever cover. Its not difficult and you would fall in love with more than railways
