We were there 4 years ago ,I agree with Lynn about the cramping and distance between the caravans with all the awnings is too small a fire would spread fast there, the location of the site is great everything you need is there close,we took pepsy are dog to the groomers over the road from the camp and asked for her to be cut short lol and she scalped her pepsy was not happy,have a great time keep the video's coming me and Janis love them .
I think that site would be hell in summer, crammed in, packed out, too hot and fighting for the shade, but it is Benidorm and that's where people want to be for their holidays. Glad you've had a rest for a few days, thanks for the video. Jo in France 🇫🇷
What a very busy campsite, but what a view, I bet it is extremely busy in the summer especially with an outside and inside pool. Hope you are getting the rest you deserve. Loving the vlogs and seeing around the places. Xxx
Morning Amanda, and yes it was heaving, I can’t imagine what it’s like in the summer 😮 We are now having a lovely rest in a stunning part of Spain Hope you are keeping well xxx
Glad you are getting some rest, sounds lovely. We are okay thanks, busy with Mum and puppies, can't believe they are a week old. Sending hugs to Mavis x
Hi you two. We have been going to benidorm nearly every year for the past 13 years and never tire ( no pun intended ) of it. We are with Lynn on El Raco , its too cramped. they did have a fire there 2? years ago wiped out a few units. We always stay at Camping Almafra not too far away but close enough to walk or cycle. Big pitches on an immaculate site with super facilities. 21 euros a night elec metered we stayed 5 weeks back in sept/oct only cost us 53 euros Keep up the good work, and enjoy life. Mike and Helen aka Moby Meanderings.
Hi both, oh wow, we were there 2 years ago ( not on Raco ) and we never heard anything about it, it was lucky it didn’t take out more units, and yes we know quite a few people who have stayed at Almafra and said it’s really good. Take care both ☺️☺️
Lynne you missed a treat when Rob looked at that bread in the supermarket - look back and see what it said……”Robert’s THICK” 😂😂😂 sorry Rob couldn’t resist!! 🙊
Hi Di Hi Campers Rob Lynn and Mavis , Hope you are all well and Enjoying your Holiday , Great video , Great that you sorted your Tyre out , and sounded easy to sort , yes what a full campsite your on , i normally like a roomy one , But could cope LOL ,well All looking Good , Keep up your Great work , Thanks for sharing , Take care Rob Lynn and Mavis XX 🏖🌞👍👍👍
Hi Paul. We are all really good thank you, hope you are too, glad you enjoyed it ☺️and yes I’m relieved it’s all sorted now, it was crazy the amount of van etc were on there 😮 I wasn’t so keen either I do like space, but you live and learn. Take care and stay warm ☺️☺️
Love keeping up with all your travels and hope you guys and Mavis are having a great time, but wow what a site that is, sorry could not stay there no privacy or room to sit out and there all to close for safety.
Hi you 2. Not stayed on raco but walked round a few times. Always love the Mountain View’s a facilities looked pristine. I’m always happy to watch someone vlogging from Benidorm 😂. As for people not seeing the attraction to Benidorm…maybe it’s not for them or they’ve never been! It’s more or less a year round resort of which there aren’t many. It’s each to their own. I always say you can have any type of holiday you want there. Glad the scooters sorted. Thanks guys x
Hi both, and yes we totally agree it’s an all year round resort and there are 1000’s of people that have an amazing time there. Hope you two are keeping well ☺️☺️
Hi Rob, Lynn and Mavis. Sorry you had tyre problems. Great site that Racco I do remember a lot of TH-camrs I watch have stayed there, it must be so nice just to walk out and you have everything there. The shop on the site looked amazing. And what a bonus having an Aldi right handy. I absolutely understand Lynn about missing your family at Christmas 🤶🏻 bless ya. Safe travels for your trip home and lots of love to the three of you ❌❌💜💜🎄🎄🎄
Hi Vicki, thank you but it’s all sorted now thank goodness 😅 It is a very busy place and yes the shops are great too, I did and I won’t be doing it again in a hurry, maybe go away Boxing Day next year Take care xx
We will do the same trip sometime in the next few years, though I have to agree with Lynn, a fire in a van on that site would wipe the place out. The layout has the vans way to close together. Loving the vlogs so far, thanks for all the info and advice 😊
Happy New year to the 3 of you. I was hoping to bump into you but didn't get to Benidorm till the 28th December. I was staying in the Santa's grotto... The Flamingo Oasis across from the New Lidl. Glad you have had a great time and sorry to hear about Lynn's tyre. Enjoy the rest of your trip and can't wait for the next vlog. Stay safe ❤
Hi and Happy New Year to you too, that was a shame but I’m sure we will bump into you at some point ☺️ We went to the corner bar a few times for food, great place and right opposite the Flamingo Take care ☺️
So close yet so far😃 The corner bar is one of the best restaurants that are in Benidorm... the fish and chips are outstanding. Keep the great vlogs coming and stay safe x Frank
Happy New Guys. Can’t get my head around what attracts people to Benidorm for Christmas, after seeing so many TH-camrs posting the same thing, crammed expensive site, think Lynn I would be hanging from the cross. 🤣
Happy New Year to you too, hmm, it does have its good points. It all depends on what you want, I really enjoyed going up to the Cross and the old town is lovely, but it will be a long time before we visit again as there are so many beautiful places to visit
Hey guys we were on El Raco in early April 2024 and they had only started breaking the ground for the Aldi they have certainly thrown that up quick. We were due to be there a week but with the constant jackhammers going in from 8 till 8 every day we left early and moved on to Villajoyosa which is also a great site. Enjoy the heat we will be at Calp at the end of February for 2 months.
They are also clearing the ground for a new campsite next door to Raco, which the diggers are working on, luckily for us the weren’t working over Christmas enjoy Calp ☺️☺️
@@RobandLynnontour also meant to say google maps uses a lot of data (I’m with de and found the same issue earlier this year) if you get a good WiFi you need to download offline maps in google maps which allows you to use maps without using data 😀
Hi Rob and Lynn. Sorry Rob but we have to agree with Lynn on this one the site is too crowded for us we do like a bit of space between vans but everyone is different. Happy holidays folks. Kev & Jan
My main concern is the fire risk, and I do like space which you definitely don’t get there, we were lucky with the pitch we had as it was only three down from the entrance, but yes we are all different and enjoy different things. Happy Holidays both ☺️☺️
Hi guys, I've never been abroad in our van but the site would be too packed for me. I may be wrong but from what I've seen campsites in Spain are very similiar. Have you been on any that are spacious with lovely views etc,
I'm enjoying the videos because I've never been to Spain let alone Benidorm. The sunshine is also cheering me up. The site looks a bit crowded but from other videos I've seen I think they are all like that over there. Happy New year to you both. I'm looking forward to what you get up to next.
Hi and thank you, glad you are enjoying our travels, we are visiting so truly lovely places, It was but I think you are right, Wishing you a very Happy New Year and thank you ☺️
Hi Lynn and Rob! We are the couple who you met in the Black Chicken! We also had great night it was lovely to meet you Happy new year to you both and maybe we will see you in Wolverley sometime! x
When we stopped in MH in benidorm camped at La Torretta (down side benidorm palace) Pitches were good size outdoor swimming pool, restaurant with daily special for 6€. Longer you stop cheaper it is. Electric on meter, pay for electric on leaving. Happy New Year.
Heard that meat still sizzling 😋 oh I hope it had plenty of garlic on that meat 😅oh the flowers are so pretty "fake ones ain't that bad either' 😂😂😂 hope Lynn wasn't hurt with the blow out 😢 nice warm Christmas day for you 😅 think I'd love to get away for Christmas, I cooked for 12 Christmas day & 14 boxing day, think this year was my last 😢 so getting away would be ideal 😅 grandkids won't be happy ☺️hope you've had a wonderful time away & enjoyed your Christmas, absolutely awesome vlog my lovelies 🌹❣️🔥🍾🥂 drive safely 🙏🏼🤗xx
It was bloody lovely, I did pinch a bit 😂😂 The flowers are beautiful, especially the fake ones 😂😂😂 Christmas away is lovely but I was a bit homesick 😞 Hope you are keeping well xx
Hey Rob & Lynn, Here's our honest opinion of Raco. Over priced, shanty town, with narrow rds between pitches. Anything over 7.5mtr and it will be a challenge to get onto a pitch. We are on Almafra, bigger pitches, water, electric and waste for €20 a night. First 3KW per day electric free. Anything over 3KW is charged at €0.41 per KW. It's a much nicer site that many others in and around the area. Regards Mick & Tina x
Hi both, regarding the narrow roads, we did find it challenging when we drove around Some of our friends have stopped on Almafra and said it was lovely, but it is a lot further out of town Thank you for your comment Take care ☺️
I read somewhere that you can only hire a mobility scooter if you show your blue badge , I can't wait for a bit of sunshine ,I hate winter here in England ,I don t like Benidorm personally but it looks nice, there are so many beautiful places in spain .Thanks for a nice vlog you two do bounce off each other
Hi Tina and yes I’d heard that too but honestly everyone has hiring them. The winters at home are so drab, dark and cold. Glad you enjoyed the video, Take care ☺️☺️
We’re staying at Villasol in Feb then onto Bolnuevo away for two months travelling down through France and Spain for about 2 weeks before hitting Benidorm, we’re paying €23 per night with 4 kw electric per day at Villasol but understand dogs are not allowed That’s quite a lot per night 😮 Happy holidays enjoy your trip both of you 😊
Happy new year to you both and hope your enjoying Spain . Campsites in Benidorm! There is only one which is five star and not crowded and that’s villasol which is fantastic and trust me we’ve used every site in Benidorm over the years but the only downside for you two no dogs are allowed. You can walk from your site to villasol, turn right at Benidorm palace and end of the road turn left and villasol is on the right .
Happy New Year to you too, I did try and book onto Villasol but like you said they don’t accept dogs, so it’s no good to us as Mavis always travels with us. Thank you for your comment ☺️
I stay at La Toretta next to the Benidorm palace, theres two sides and plenty of room between vans, I'll be going there when im over in February, last time i was there it was 17€per night electric separate, and 1€ per night for the dog which is pricey for me having four, but they have let me off with two, so all in all a good site. Happy travels ❤
Hi thanks for the info a couple of people have mentioned that site so maybe next time we will give it ago 👍
3 วันที่ผ่านมา +1
To be quite honest, we can't think of anywhere worse to spend Christmas, especially on the busy site that you are on. Each to their own. Stay safe and enjoy it.
Never been to Spain or Portugal so do like the videos, especially your take on it. Your videos really cheer me up, thank you for that. Safe travels xx 🐾🐾🐕🦓😘
Greetings from freezing S Eire, we are having some artic type weather right now, looks like you had a wonderful Xmas in the sunshine,it looked awsome by the beach, wish i were there too, great to see all the people out and about , best wishes for 2025!❤
Greetings to you too, I’ve been watching the weather and wow it does look so cold, hope you are keeping warm. It really is great to see people out and about in the sunshine enjoying themselves Take care and best wishes for 2025 to you too ☺️
Hi Rob and Lynn,we have stayed on raco before,electric was terrible and price was too much when you have dogs.we are here now while you are and we are on balanca just across the road.half the price and no charge for two dogs....Happy with that 😂😂
I was afraid of the worst when I saw the VLOG title assuming that it was the van! Glad to see that you managed to get the tyre sorted out on the “SLP’s” scooter; but will the new name Stick? My personal feel for that site is that it is too packed; hence the shortage of hot water. I would rather be on a small site or park up where you have room to swing a cat.
Hi it was a big deal for us we rely on the scooters over here the are a fantastic way of transport thankfully it is sorted now 👍 yes that probably was the reason for the hot water being hit and miss
Hi to you both. We have been going to Benidorm yearly since 2013. We always stayed in El Raco which is now just called Raco. However we agree with Lynn, too many residential vans occupying the best sunny side pitches. It's a shame as most are not there alot of the time. So we now go to what I think is the best site Villasol. Just before the outdoor Market area. We are going to be there in March for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately they don't allow pets so no good for you guys. Maybe you should look at others as there are at least 3 others near by. Also a bit further out but on the bus route is a new site on the Albir road not far past the entrance to the dreadful Villamar. Maybe have a ride down on your scooters. Enjoy the rest of your time in Beni. We love the sunny videos.. Mark & Louise.. 👌👍
Hi both, we did look at Villasol but like you said it isn’t any good for us as we bring Mavis along. Hmm I don’t think we will be visiting Benidorm for a few years as there are so many other places we want to see and explore. Thank you and we will ☺️☺️
Hi Rob & Lynn & Mavis in Benadorm spain 🇪🇸 🎉❤, you are both looking better rested up now & less stressed out ,even with Lynn's tyre blow out on her scooter ,it's just 1 of those things unfortunately but Rob really know tool kit ,i have a small 1 on board my mobility scooter @ all times & a first aid kit ! to me a 1st thing you might need in an emergency, so yeh thats a shocker !, never mind you got her scooter fixed to save little Lynn's legs bless her , & i am with you Lynn i wouldn't feel very safe on that site to be honest with you & it does seem a little expensive to me aswell , but you will find better 1s ,you need to do a little more research on the whole of benidorm spain 🇪🇸 i think that there are much cheaper & better 1s , less crowded shall we say , but your much better off there believe me as the flooding here is awful do you know how your static caravan is back home ? Because Shrewsbury here has burst its banks & so many towns under water here its awful & now worst to come over night with snow ❄️ freezing temps _8c here tonight & only 0c in the day if we are lucky ,then you have spells of freezing rain it cuts you like a knife 🔪 if you out in it to long so don't hurry back my lovely friends, & you can have Christmas every day when you come home ,with your family so dont worry to much Lynn lovely just relax & get hammered & a sun tan you jammy dodgers you lol 😅😂🎉❤celebrate its your time now to enjoy life hunny ok? All our love , as we watch your vlogs closely, keep safe together always, all our love & best wishes Linda & Carly Dunn from Newport Shropshire UK! Worse luck ! 😢 see you on the next vlog xxxxxx ❤😊
Morning Linda, hope you are keeping well and warm, and yes lesson learned we will always make sure we have a proper tool kit and spares now on board. We are watching the weather closely at home and checking the river levels but so far so good at the moment. Hope you are keeping warm in those temperatures. Take care both xx
Hi lynn/Rob You are just south of the region of the Orange, thousands of acres of orange groves. Oranges need warmth ,water and a sudden drop of overnight temperature to turn orange They you go a little dit for you 👍enjoy
The site looks far too packed for me. But if you want to be there not lots of options. We are planning 2025 but we will stay in Javea or Moraira. Great vlog again 🍺
Not a fan of Spanish commercial sites, just to close together. Even in the less tourist areas, they seem to jam the pitches in. I suspect we will stay in France perhaps a nip to Italy when we are over in June. Have fun 😊
Hi there great watching your videos we too are coming to Spain starting next week but it will be week after when we arrive. We were told to book in advance months ago but haven’t and thought we would be ok. Have you booked any of your sites? We are actually thinking of travelling on the east side first down to Seville then work our way across and up the east coast. Btw if you have google maps set to satellite view it will use more data than normal view.
Hi the only place we booked was Benidorm and that’s only because of the Christmas period, you won’t have any problems getting onto sites, we wish you a safe and happy trip 👍
Glad you got the tire sorted. The site is not the best but location is the best. The elec last year you got 2kw free a day. I am missing a warm winter Happy Holidays Both
Thanks Ste, it isn’t and you don’t get any electric included anymore, but the location is good as you said You should have come ☺️☺️ Happy Holidays to you too ☺️☺️
Hi Rob and Lynn, we highly recommend the "acsi" card, we was there in June/july didn't think we could use it as its only available to use in low season, we was pleasantly surprised when we could and got it for half price, but remember the card runs from 1st Jan to 31st Dec, we was there in our self converted old royal mail van called Owd Bet
The only day it was closed was on Christmas Day, and I think they all close on the 6th Jan for Three Kings oh and New Year’s Day they were closed too x
Is there any way you can use wifi to upload your videos etc? I dont know but it seems a good way if there is wifi on site. You cant do much about the camp sites in Benidorm they are all enormous nowadays. El Raco isnt as bad as some of the sites. Rob you pay for the facilities so I would want to use them and not your own. Gosh thats really expensive now. I better tick the hand that might help you pay for it.
Apparently nearly are the shower blocks were the same they were waiting for a part. Apparently you can’t take dogs on the buses, I think I could have got away with it with Mavis being in her bag though.
Have you tried any of the other sites -we’ve done Villasol and Villamar -luv them both -similar area and great facilities -might give Raco a try next time 👍🏻
Evening Guys, Great vlog, nice to see you're not vlogging everything as Lynn says its been done a lot 😮. The site looks nice a little overcrowded for us though. Glad you've got the scooter sorted 👍. Rob that was one big plate of hangover steak 😋. You can stop telling us how warm it is now the sun here in Yorkshire is unreal 😂. Travel safe and enjoy the rest of the trip. All the best and look after each other. Paul and Joanne 👍 ❤️. PS would you recommend swift motorhomes thats a little clue as to what maybe happening 😉
Hi Paul and Joanne, thank you, Luke I said there is only so much you can film as it’s been done to death. I’m so glad Robert sorted it, otherwise we’d have been stuck. It really was a huge meal and he didn’t even offer me any 😮😂. 😂😂 sorry, but, it’s been stunning again today 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞 All the very best to you both. we do love ours and would definitely buy one again, even though we did have some niggles when we bought it.
We were there 4 years ago ,I agree with Lynn about the cramping and distance between the caravans with all the awnings is too small a fire would spread fast there, the location of the site is great everything you need is there close,we took pepsy are dog to the groomers over the road from the camp and asked for her to be cut short lol and she scalped her pepsy was not happy,have a great time keep the video's coming me and Janis love them .

Hi Tina and yes I’d heard that too but honestly everyone has hiring them. The winters at home are so drab, dark and cold.
Glad you enjoyed the video,
Take care ☺️☺️
We’re staying at Villasol in Feb then onto Bolnuevo away for two months travelling down through France and Spain for about 2 weeks before hitting Benidorm, we’re paying €23 per night with 4 kw electric per day at Villasol but understand dogs are not allowed
That’s quite a lot per night 😮 Happy holidays enjoy your trip both of you 😊
Hi that’s fantastic we wish you a safe and happy trip xx
@ Happy New Year to you and Mavis x
Wow that was a big plate Rob can't believe you are all that😂😂❤
I know it was huge and yes he ate it all 😮😂
That steak and chips looked incredible, lovely christmas dinner 😋
Apparently it really was although he didn’t offer me any 😂😂
Great vlog thank you x
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️☺️
Happy new year to you both and hope your enjoying Spain . Campsites in Benidorm! There is only one which is five star and not crowded and that’s villasol which is fantastic and trust me we’ve used every site in Benidorm over the years but the only downside for you two no dogs are allowed. You can walk from your site to villasol, turn right at Benidorm palace and end of the road turn left and villasol is on the right .
Happy New Year to you too, I did try and book onto Villasol but like you said they don’t accept dogs, so it’s no good to us as Mavis always travels with us.
Thank you for your comment ☺️
We are there in March. Definitely the best site in Beni now. 😁
I believe that’s right but sadly they don’t take dogs there
I stay at La Toretta next to the Benidorm palace, theres two sides and plenty of room between vans, I'll be going there when im over in February, last time i was there it was 17€per night electric separate, and 1€ per night for the dog which is pricey for me having four, but they have let me off with two, so all in all a good site. Happy travels ❤
Hi thanks for the info a couple of people have mentioned that site so maybe next time we will give it ago 👍
To be quite honest, we can't think of anywhere worse to spend Christmas, especially on the busy site that you are on. Each to their own. Stay safe and enjoy it.
We were lucky where we were parked, but i wouldn’t have if we had been sandwiched in further down,
Take care and thank you for your comment ☺️☺️
Glad to hear that you are enjoying your stay in Benadorm you both chill out and have a lovely Christmas
Aww thank you, it’s been great 😊
Never been to Spain or Portugal so do like the videos, especially your take on it. Your videos really cheer me up, thank you for that. Safe travels xx 🐾🐾🐕🦓😘
Hi Karen. Hope you are doing ok, so glad we are cheering you up, take care xx
Been to Benidorm a few times stayed on Raco these vlogs are making me envious have you been in the China Garden at the bottom of the road happy days
Hi we went to china garden last time we were over👍
Greetings from freezing S Eire, we are having some artic type weather right now, looks like you had a wonderful Xmas in the sunshine,it looked awsome by the beach, wish i were there too, great to see all the people out and about , best wishes for 2025!❤
Greetings to you too, I’ve been watching the weather and wow it does look so cold, hope you are keeping warm.
It really is great to see people out and about in the sunshine enjoying themselves
Take care and best wishes for 2025 to you too ☺️
Hi Rob and Lynn,we have stayed on raco before,electric was terrible and price was too much when you have dogs.we are here now while you are and we are on balanca just across the road.half the price and no charge for two dogs....Happy with that 😂😂
You live and learn don’t you, the electric was ok for us, it was just the showers that were a pain.
No charge for the dogs is great 😊
Enjoy ☺️
Ps,you have cost me a small fortune,delta max 2,van guardian,diesel heater.😂but each one has been a massive plus while on the road 👌
@ glad to hear that they have all helped, we stand by them and use them all the time, they have all been invaluable to us whilst we are away ☺️☺️
I was afraid of the worst when I saw the VLOG title assuming that it was the van! Glad to see that you managed to get the tyre sorted out on the “SLP’s” scooter; but will the new name Stick? My personal feel for that site is that it is too packed; hence the shortage of hot water. I would rather be on a small site or park up where you have room to swing a cat.
Hi it was a big deal for us we rely on the scooters over here the are a fantastic way of transport thankfully it is sorted now 👍 yes that probably was the reason for the hot water being hit and miss
Hi to you both. We have been going to Benidorm yearly since 2013. We always stayed in El Raco which is now just called Raco. However we agree with Lynn, too many residential vans occupying the best sunny side pitches. It's a shame as most are not there alot of the time. So we now go to what I think is the best site Villasol. Just before the outdoor Market area. We are going to be there in March for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately they don't allow pets so no good for you guys. Maybe you should look at others as there are at least 3 others near by. Also a bit further out but on the bus route is a new site on the Albir road not far past the entrance to the dreadful Villamar. Maybe have a ride down on your scooters. Enjoy the rest of your time in Beni. We love the sunny videos.. Mark & Louise.. 👌👍
Hi both, we did look at Villasol but like you said it isn’t any good for us as we bring Mavis along. Hmm I don’t think we will be visiting Benidorm for a few years as there are so many other places we want to see and explore.
Thank you and we will ☺️☺️
Best pitches , if you know you know it’s called a “Soborno”👍
@ so I’ve heard 😂😂
Good video should have got a spare tube at that price £14 over here
Hi Simon and thank you, yes we should have done in hindsight
Hi Rob & Lynn & Mavis in Benadorm spain 🇪🇸 🎉❤, you are both looking better rested up now & less stressed out ,even with Lynn's tyre blow out on her scooter ,it's just 1 of those things unfortunately but Rob really know tool kit ,i have a small 1 on board my mobility scooter @ all times & a first aid kit ! to me a 1st thing you might need in an emergency, so yeh thats a shocker !, never mind you got her scooter fixed to save little Lynn's legs bless her , & i am with you Lynn i wouldn't feel very safe on that site to be honest with you & it does seem a little expensive to me aswell , but you will find better 1s ,you need to do a little more research on the whole of benidorm spain 🇪🇸 i think that there are much cheaper & better 1s , less crowded shall we say , but your much better off there believe me as the flooding here is awful do you know how your static caravan is back home ? Because Shrewsbury here has burst its banks & so many towns under water here its awful & now worst to come over night with snow ❄️ freezing temps _8c here tonight & only 0c in the day if we are lucky ,then you have spells of freezing rain it cuts you like a knife 🔪 if you out in it to long so don't hurry back my lovely friends, & you can have Christmas every day when you come home ,with your family so dont worry to much Lynn lovely just relax & get hammered & a sun tan you jammy dodgers you lol 😅😂🎉❤celebrate its your time now to enjoy life hunny ok? All our love , as we watch your vlogs closely, keep safe together always, all our love & best wishes Linda & Carly Dunn from Newport Shropshire UK! Worse luck ! 😢 see you on the next vlog xxxxxx ❤😊
Morning Linda, hope you are keeping well and warm, and yes lesson learned we will always make sure we have a proper tool kit and spares now on board.
We are watching the weather closely at home and checking the river levels but so far so good at the moment. Hope you are keeping warm in those temperatures.
Take care both xx
Hi lynn/Rob
You are just south of the region of the Orange, thousands of acres of orange groves. Oranges need warmth ,water and a sudden drop of overnight temperature to turn orange
They you go a little dit for you 👍enjoy
@@WilliamStacey-r6i hi William and thank you for that very interesting information ☺️☺️
Looks like Butlins.
Not my idea of christmas.
Still luv ya though.
Happy new year x
Happy new year ❤️👍
The site looks far too packed for me. But if you want to be there not lots of options. We are planning 2025 but we will stay in Javea or Moraira. Great vlog again 🍺
Hi Paul. It was really really crowded, we are in Moraria now and loving it 🥰
I lived there for a year when me and Sarah first met love it loads, Enjoy. 🎉
What a Christmas faff!
We always surprised at how cramped continental sites look. I also would be worried about fire spreading. N&Nx
It was but once we were settled we were fine,
I agree all the continental sites are so cramped, definitely a fire risk
Hello lovely two hope having a fantastic time we are leaving Birmingham airport on Sunday for 6 weeks in fengurol Spain happy holidays ❤
Hi Mike, we are really enjoying it thank you.
Oh wow 😮 hope you have an amazing time in the sun
Happy Holidays to you too ☺️☺️
We enjoy all your videos
Thank you very much 👍
Can't believe you troffed those stakes back rob 🙈
😂😂😂 he did and didn’t offer me one 😮😂😂
@RobandLynnontour 😂😂 you'll have to have to start feeding him rabbit food Lynn 😂😂
Not a fan of Spanish commercial sites, just to close together. Even in the less tourist areas, they seem to jam the pitches in. I suspect we will stay in France perhaps a nip to Italy when we are over in June. Have fun 😊
Hi yes we agree they are a little close , Italy sounds good 👌
Hi there great watching your videos we too are coming to Spain starting next week but it will be week after when we arrive. We were told to book in advance months ago but haven’t and thought we would be ok. Have you booked any of your sites?
We are actually thinking of travelling on the east side first down to Seville then work our way across and up the east coast.
Btw if you have google maps set to satellite view it will use more data than normal view.
Hi the only place we booked was Benidorm and that’s only because of the Christmas period, you won’t have any problems getting onto sites, we wish you a safe and happy trip 👍
Wow that's not cheap with cold showers I think you been had there, cheaper in UK 😆
We think we have been had to 😂
Glad you got the tire sorted. The site is not the best but location is the best. The elec last year you got 2kw free a day. I am missing a warm winter Happy Holidays Both
Thanks Ste, it isn’t and you don’t get any electric included anymore, but the location is good as you said
You should have come ☺️☺️
Happy Holidays to you too ☺️☺️
@RobandLynnontour really thats bad proberly changed that the amount of people that go over xmas now
Hey, its me too I am 2nd 😂😂😂😂 happy new year Rob n Princess Lynn 💃🕺
Yay 2nd place, better luck next time 😂😂
Happy New Year to you too ☺️☺️
We stayed at Arena blanca just over the road from Raco . Nice site ,nice showers ASCI
Fantastic 👍yes we need to get a ASCI 👍
Hi Rob and Lynn, we highly recommend the "acsi" card, we was there in June/july didn't think we could use it as its only available to use in low season, we was pleasantly surprised when we could and got it for half price, but remember the card runs from 1st Jan to 31st Dec, we was there in our self converted old royal mail van called Owd Bet
We have heard of them and will look into it next time, thanks for reminding us ☺️☺️
I will be honest its to busy for me and they are to close but another great vlogg x
Hi Sue, and yes it was too busy for me this time, and thank you x
Whatever happened to using two spoons to get tyres on and off?
Hi I have always used spoons no good on a scooter though they are way too hard 👍
I prefer camping la torretta it’s nearer town and cheaper than taco. It’s behind Benidorm palace.
Oh ok I think we saw that place and it’s cheaper maybe we will try that next time 👍
Hi Rob and Lynn try a moility shop the inner tube are about the same size . Peace be the jourey and Coolrunnigs . Happy new year
Hi thanks for that but we did manage to get one so all is good 👍 happy new year to you too
Just tol let you know, we had a fantastic time at tackeroo between Christmas and New year. 😂
That’s absolutely fantastic xx
You were luck Aldi in Englandwas not open on Christmas or boxing day x
The only day it was closed was on Christmas Day, and I think they all close on the 6th Jan for Three Kings oh and New Year’s Day they were closed too x
Is there any way you can use wifi to upload your videos etc? I dont know but it seems a good way if there is wifi on site. You cant do much about the camp sites in Benidorm they are all enormous nowadays. El Raco isnt as bad as some of the sites. Rob you pay for the facilities so I would want to use them and not your own. Gosh thats really expensive now. I better tick the hand that might help you pay for it.
Hi and yes it was, I looked months in advance but it was fully booked.
It’s wonderful to see the sun on Christmas Day I agree 🌞☺️🌞☺️
We were there september loved it no probs with showers.can you take your dog on bus we wernt sure if could or not .good vid by the way.
Apparently nearly are the shower blocks were the same they were waiting for a part. Apparently you can’t take dogs on the buses, I think I could have got away with it with Mavis being in her bag though.
Have you tried any of the other sites -we’ve done Villasol and Villamar -luv them both -similar area and great facilities -might give Raco a try next time 👍🏻
Hi yes we went there a couple of years ago 👍
I was told if you need a scooter you need a blue badge to get one
That’s what we thought but obviously that’s not the case 🤷♂️
Surprised you hadn’t seen a Romanesco before looks like broccoli but tastes like cauliflower…our greengrocer sells all the time
Oh wow, and no I’ve never seen one before I will have to try it 😂😂
I heard that a lot of people use mobility scooters to run around in as they’re cheaper than buying a car and easier to maintain 😕
Hi Heather and that sounds about right was there are so many zipping around there
It looks like he'll on earth to me to crowed
Thank you for your opinion we hope you enjoyed the video 👍
Think i only got a max of 15 gig a month in spain with my unlimited data sim when in UK, its some European ruling
With EE you get 50GB and O2 25GB, it’s called fair usage
@@RobandLynnontour Been told to get a French orange sim for Europe. I will have to investigate next trip.
@ hi yes we managed to get one 300Gb for €20 ☺️
Hi it’s now Thurs 02/01. 18:30 in Eastbourne. -2. Can you send some sun please. Regards Trevor
We will do our very best Trevor ☺️☺️🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
I've just got a Masmovil sim card 15 euros for unlimited data for 30 days
Wow that’s fantastic 👍
Evening Guys,
Great vlog, nice to see you're not vlogging everything as Lynn says its been done a lot 😮.
The site looks nice a little overcrowded for us though.
Glad you've got the scooter sorted 👍.
Rob that was one big plate of hangover steak 😋.
You can stop telling us how warm it is now the sun here in Yorkshire is unreal 😂.
Travel safe and enjoy the rest of the trip.
All the best and look after each other.
Paul and Joanne 👍 ❤️.
PS would you recommend swift motorhomes thats a little clue as to what maybe happening 😉
Hi Paul and Joanne, thank you, Luke I said there is only so much you can film as it’s been done to death.
I’m so glad Robert sorted it, otherwise we’d have been stuck.
It really was a huge meal and he didn’t even offer me any 😮😂.
😂😂 sorry, but, it’s been stunning again today 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
All the very best to you both.
we do love ours and would definitely buy one again, even though we did have some niggles when we bought it.
@RobandLynnontour
👍❤️.
Have you seen Mr earnshaws alde heating issue vlog 😢

Yay Misty 🤩🤩😍😍xx
Benidorm awful place but each to their own
Like you say, each to their own, there are lots that would disagree ☺️
Site is a dump !!
I wouldn’t say that at all
