Would really appreciate some advice on potential destinations / stopovers for our summer holiday this year (first in van), with our two children aged 8 and 10 - we will mostly stay in holiday rentals (1 Pyrenees-area, 2 Brittany) but have a few nights in van between
The map below is an approximation of the route -- arriving Santander on the ferry mid august and we have two weeks holiday before return to UK from Cherbourg.
1) We think we'd like to spend the first night camping somewhere on the north coast of spain to the west of Santander. Ideally we'd like a quiet, small site -- any recommendations please?
2) Then we thought we would spend about 5 nights in the western spanish pyrenees -- we like hiking in high mountain areas - ideally "away from it all" -- I'm unfamiliar with this part of the pyrenees so any tips would be appreciated. We are planning to stay in a holiday rental, not the van for this bit.
3) Then we thought we'd stay in Southern Brittany -- but would have a couple of nights in the van on the way up -- any recommendations along this west coast please? ideally again somewhere less busy with good nature away from crowds.
thanks ever so much!
