Mike & Tina's Travels
United Kingdom

We are Mike and Tina, as of 2024 we are both 76 years old and have been married now for 55 years. Our love is to travel and see new places.
We do not make money from our videos.
Content is mostly holiday and personal videos of walks, trips & events. I try to do most in 4K. The majority are hand held and just meant as a record of things we do and that may interest others. A lot are from around the Mojacar/Vera Playa/Villaricos/San Juan de los Terreros areas of southern Spain. Also of journeys in our motorhome (Euramobil 810HBL) around Europe and beyond-Scandinavia as far north as you can drive, Nordkapp, and east as far as Didim/Altinkum in Turkey.
We spend a lot of time in the Almeria region of Spain and also in and around the Kettering area of Northamptonshire, England.
Since our 50th Wedding Anniversary cruise, which was our first, we have started taking at least one a year, if we can find a good price that is, as we are retired and certainly not rich

Haven Saver Caravan Tour at The Orchards, Clacton

Record of a saver caravan that we booked at Haven's, The Orchards near Clacton on sea. We paid £49.99 for 4 nights Monday to Friday, so £12.50 per night. Possibly may have been a bronze upgrade as it was very similar to a bronze we had at Caister last year, but we weren't informed if it was.

I'm getting more excited about the area than ever.Being a bit of a loner - or as some people might say - a miserable anti social so and so- Ithink Almeria will suit me!
It's a lovely area. Away from the crowds, but close enough for the beach or shops if you want.
This is really good for me as I'm travelling this route next week.Timely.Thanks.
@@RobinPoole-hh5bj Our pleasure. Pleased you enjoyed it.
Trying to move to Mojacar area.Am 78 and time is against me but your videos help me keep dream alive.
Pleased to hear you enjoy the videos. Can be a lot of hassle buying, & even more selling though, unless you speak the language & know how things work of course.
Well done, loved it
@@johnobrien469 Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
I love a carousel
I cant wait for dec 20th im going on msc preziosa to christmas markets
@@JenniferPratt-n9k Hope you have a great cruise
Imagine 4 in that cabin... Also no comfy seats ?
@@richardstreet7518 We agree, fortunately all our children flew the nest years ago😂
@MikeandTinasTravels o was struck by the lack of comfy seats in the public areas too!!
We are loving your videos! We are off to Caribbean on Arvia in 2026 so this is really helpful! May I ask what camera you use? It looks really good footage!
@@jxrds Thanks, pleased to hear you are enjoying the videos. I use a combination of cameras, mostly it would have been using a GoPro Hero 11 creator edition, I also use a Panasonic Lumix FZ2000 but more for photo's, although it does produce really good 4K video too. For convenience I also used a Samsung S9 plus phone occasionally. I have since changed to a Google Pixel 8pro both doing good 4K video. Hope that helps. Did you subscribe by the way?
@@jxrds Should have said, hope you enjoy your cruise as much as we did.
@@MikeandTinasTravels Thank you very much! And yes we have subscribed 😄
I'm seriously thinking of buying a property there. It looks beautiful. As, i don't drive (yet) is it easy to get to the beach by public transport? Warm Regards Regina
@@ginawww I'm pretty sure there are regular busses to Mojacar and on down to the playa. Best thing is join a Turre Facebook group and ask on there.
@@MikeandTinasTravels thank you. I'll do that.
I think your video views need to SEO for lots of viewers and subscribers. Beacuse I am a professional TH-cam video SEO expert.
@@TUFANSORKAR-rs5nw thanks. We're only amateurs & don't have enough subscribers to get paid & wouldn't want to HAVE TO do regular videos.
I so want to go here someday. Not only for the beaches, but to experience the naturist zone in the town. Would be so great to spend your entire time walking around without any clothes.
@@theeshark7038 Lots & lots of people do. Not too expensive if you stay just a bit away from the beach.
Me gusta escuchar a la música de México . Puede decirme dónde está lugar por favor ?
@@MookMineola this video is in Mojacar Play, which is in the Almeria region of south eastern Spain.
Hola el pueblo de mi madre ❤
Espero que tu madre esté bien y disfrute de vivir en Turre.

Did the people in the video consent to you publishing this footage ?
@@ellensebbach1092 Why do you ask? I take it you are not in the video?
Great video. Got some good memories of mojacar. Stayed at the hotel indalo and Pueblo indalo
Thanks for the nice comment. We stayed at the Pueblo Indalo back in 1986. The pools have all changed now but everything else looks pretty much the same. The restaurants and holiday complexes have taken over the seafront since then though.
Hi mike & Tina ,does the market run in the winter time (jan-March ) please.
Hi Colin, Yes Garrucha market is a year round market.
Enjoyed a personal record day out in Mojacar! 🌞 Market day added an exciting vibe, and wandering through the pueblo on a sunny April afternoon was delightful despite the occasional wind. 😊 Had a funny mishap with the camera too - accidentally set it to 'Time Warp' instead of regular video, but hey, it's all part of the adventure! 📷 Looking forward to sharing more of our three-month Spanish journey with you all! 🇪🇸
Looks very boring no people anywhere why do staff have clothes on naturist camps it's very unwelcomeing unfriendly
Well, it's out of season September 21st but also, I try not to video people without clothes as they tend to get very angry, presumably thinking we are perverts I suppose. June July and August would be packed, but way too hot for us then, we head to cooler climes.
Beautiful video, thank you very much and best of luck folks ..
Thank you for the nice comment. Best of luck to you too.
Really enjoyed watching these videos, thanks for sharing
Thank you, nice of you to say so.

Thanks for the lovely video❤
Thank you for saying so, makes it more worth doing.

4.40, if you press the button on the table, one of the waiters will bring you a 'better' coffee than from those decanters! Stunning ship!
Don't know anything about that.
Fascinating as one thinking of moving to the area. A brilliant account/nice video. Do you happen to recall how basements in the village of Villaricos were affected? We were nearer Malaga then and didn't get the same rains!
Sorry no. We were along the road in Palomares.
Thanks for replying 👍
Umm did u see the boob mountin it was so funny i forgot what iland thar was on

Thanks, it gives us a reason to get out for a walk as well as hoping people enjoy & find useful.
what time did you leave gatwick and arrive at barbados please
We left Gatwick at 11-10 & arrive Barbados 15-50
Thank you for this, was the kettle in the standard cabin yes? I love my tea also :-) The TV in the room did it have movies running all the time or what was available on the TV? thanks!
Hi Clair, the kettle is a travel kettle that we always take away with us if in car or motorhome, had it for so many years it's probably antique now, there are no tea or coffee making facilities in the standard cabins, although I believe there is in the "Commadore" class of cabins. For the TV, there is live UK TV showing and I think also films to choose from but, we only watched a little UK TV news ourselves before bed. Definitely recommend having a travel kettle, very cheap & don't take a huge amount of space.
@@MikeandTinasTravels Very helpful! Really appreciate it! New subscriber here :-)
@@clair3529 Thank you.
Booked this crossing in September and am here to check out the tea/coffee facilities in the std cabin !! Will bring along my mini travel one, on board for 2 nights, club access already sold out when I booked, need a constant supply of tea haha Thanks for posting… did you eat in either of the restaurants on board ? Wonder how the quality is … only fine done cross channel Brittany Ferries before which were ok but much bigger ships I think.
Hi Ive traveled twice recently. Once on the Salamanca to Santander from Portsmouth. Once to Bilbao on the Santona from Portsmouth. Both ships are very similar, practically the same. I borrowed a mug from the Cafe restaurant on my first crossing. Second crossing I brought my own. Also, the bin in the room doesn't have a bag in it. A container for used tea bags is helpful therefore. The Azul restaurant is of a high standard and worth it. Not cheap and reservations necessary. Eat early is my tip, later seating have long queues. The Cafe restaurant is fine. Reasonably priced. There are microwaves in the bar area and Cafe. You could bring something and heat it up. We did that on our second crossing. The bar and gift shop also sell fruit, crisps, sandwiches etc.
Thanks for sharing, on our list for 2025
You're welcome. Glad you liked it.
Its a great channel you have here Mike and Tina. We've really enjoyed watching your videos, and will be exploring more of them now and in the future, so we've hit your subscribe button and look forward to seeing where your travels take you next 👍
Thank you again. In 5 weeks time we're off to Miami to do a cruise on Norwegian Encore through the Panama canal and ending in Seattle. Then flying back down to LA to visit my sister who will be 80 the day we arrive; and she knows nothing about it.
That sounds amazing. We will definitely watch any video of that journey. And Shhh.....we'll keep quiet on that surprise 😆 @@MikeandTinasTravels
We aren't familiar with this part of the world, and it looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing your happy place with us all.
Thank you. Yes the Mojacar area of Almeria is a lovely place, well worth a visit.
Stunning scenery you captured of your early morning sail in to Stavanger, and your explore of the town. And what a lovely town it was to take a stroll around. A really nice video guys. A pleasure to watch.
Thanks, & yes we enjoyed Stavanger too. Must say for Norway we were really lucky with the weather. Spent a few months there in our motorhome & hardly saw the sun.
The weather is a gamble for Norway travel, but worth any sacrifice to explore such a beautiful country. July in our cruise was a mix of misty mornings followed by Mediterranean afternoons.....both equally magnificent though. @@MikeandTinasTravels
That gorgeous sunshine made this a real joy to watch. We are increasingly curious to see videos like yours about modern ferries and where they travel to, so this was interesting to watch. Good to see the tradition of the travel kettle making an appearance 😃 👍
Thank you, glad you liked it. We did a similar video on the Galicia about 2 years ago. Yes the sunshine for end of January was amazing, and that travel kettle has been going everywhere with us for over 40 years now.
Always enjoy your videos Mike and Tina 👍🏻 how long is the ferry journey?
Thank you, glad you like them. That ferry left at 17.30 Spanish time & arrived Portsmouth at 21.00 UK time, so total of 28.5 hours.
Dude that was a proper racist comment at the end of your video. If you want to just see white fcaes maybe you should go to Margate or something. You went on a ship to go to the Carrabean non white coubntries. Have a word with yourself!!!
Only just seen your comment. I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I quite liked the fact that we were the only white faces & couldn't understand why other people from the ship didn't venture into the town. We love seeing the real places & not just the touristy bits.
Nice video guys.. one of the better ones I've seen..
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. We do videos as a hobby & TH-cam don't pay us, so it's nice to get feedback like yours.

Gracias.
Спасибо за видео,вы очень приятная пара🤗
Спасибо. Очень мило с твоей стороны это сказать.
Information for future tourists. Be careful, cameras in the car are illegal in Spain, unfortunately. If you have a permanent one built in, it should be closed.
I watched your TH-cam channel Very nice videos on your channel, I have watched all your uploaded videos and noticed all the videos are nice. But there is a small problem. Your video uploads have to do some work like (SEO) and help in getting future video views. You are working so hard just to get views, now if the views don't come then your hard work is useless. All video SEO does, you will see that your video views will come. I can help if you want. Thank you, have a nice day.
I don't make money from TH-cam so am not going to spend any either, sorry
@@MikeandTinasTravels I'm not asking you to make money, I'm asking you to point out the problems with your videos, I'm asking you to fix the problems your videos have. Because you make videos hard so that your videos views low.You must go to see more people and increase your views. I hope you understand
@@MikeandTinasTravels If you don't solve the problems with your video, then it's worth the effort to make the video
I hope you do well. I checked out your TH-cam channel and your content is amazing! but, Your video should rank But your video has no SEO 100% SEO has 0% SEO
Only do the videos as I enjoy doing them, don't make money from them.
Hey'' I just watched your video and I must say that really nice video, love it. but your videos are not SEO and optimized. Due to which your video views are very less and your videos do not rank. I was wondering I could help you SEO and Promotion your video
Thank you, but we don't make money from our TH-cam videos, so obviously won't want to be spending any either.
Is it Safe in Tijola?
I really see no reason why it wouldn't be safe. Have only visited a couple of times but seems quite a nice place.

lovely peaceful video; i love mojacar too, which is just up the road
Thanks glad you enjoyed it. I have posted quite a few videos of Mojacar too over the years.
great video mike n tina that 72 plate was from september 2022 changed in march to 23 plate now on 73 plate at momment in germany looking at big RVs at centurion motor home liked 1 we seen 4 berth and a garage under neath to put a car in when its parked up the body lifts up and slides out to get car out but at the time it is 1mill euros
Hi Vernon, yes soon be a 24 plate, the years fly by. I liked our 30ft motorhome, used the garage for storage & had a scooter on an electric rack on the back, sold it now as have to keep doing medicals etc etc. Bought a new one in 2001 at Dusseldorf Messe. Those big ones with the cars are lovely but you're limited to where you can go with them, too much money as well unless the lottery comes up. Quite like the idea of a smaller 5th wheeler, but hard to find. Two more weeks in Spain then back to the UK for a few months. Take care.
Fabulous weather again for you both. The area you went to for Tina’s birthday looked lovely. That’s a big job taking place on the Mojacar/Garrucha junction, more money invested in the area is always a positive thing. We are over for Christmas, looking forward to seeing the changes in the area. Take Care
Thanks Clare. We always try to get away somewhere different for Tina's birthday, and yes it was nice. Weather was pretty warm, although it's just started to cool off a little now. Yes the work going on in Garrucha will be interesting to see, looking forward to it. Hope you have a lovely time when you're here. You take care too.
