At 17.00 minutes you mention "Dubai". I would never go there. The place is pure evil. Look at that poor lad who had a holiday romance, is a child and is now in an horrific prison. Don't execute they humans. like they are dogs, in Dubai? The entire middle East is just one huge ugly place needing to be avoided, right?

Los Alcatheres, in the way to pronounce it - I lived there for around a year, a little north in Balsicas, and yeah, it's a bit quiet down there, but you'll find it crazy busy in the summertime. many of the houses are second home for Murcians, from the city and wider province. Certainly not my favourite placed to have lived in Southern Spain, but if you are heading west, defiantly take in Garrucha and Mojacar where I settled for about 8 years before returning to the UK, before heading further west on one of the best coast roads in pain, across to Carbeneros!

Los Alcázares is a very busy place even in winter, this guy is only in the Old Town if he went further up to the 525 Strip that is a very lively place with a lot more bars and restaurants, and his pronunciation of Los Alcázares is not very good. Also all the supermarkets he mentions are all there. Come on Campervan Casa get your act together

@CampervanCasa17 күн бұрын
My dog was born in Spain so he already has an EU passport. This makes it easier for us to come and go from the UK. We can leave with no paperwork, just his passport, but still need an AHC to get into the UK. There's some great Facebook groups for advice if your dog is originally from the UK and I would highly recommend getting an EU passport as soon as you're in Europe with your dog. Just means you have to maintain injections and boosters in the EU though as a UK vet would invalidate an EU passport.

I gave up on the purpose of the video ,,atleast the title. Did you have ever show the the motorhome ? Do a tour? Surely that would have been a minimal part of the video but more so the exciting moments of finally getting the motorhome. However it seemed you were randomly talking so long as if people have formed a relationship with you and want to listen? Plus I don't get excitement about camp sites. We have travelled thousands of miles to Greece, Turkey, Spain etc and always just used park4night app. Travelling is about the travelling and the destination not a camp site. Though it is true especially in England people get excited about camp sites.
