Great vlog. I have put a litte USB fan in my fridge and dont over fill it and it keeps much cooler in the hot weather. Cant wait to take our bus to spain.
The best bar where they have the most delicious calamares in Madrid call El Brillante just in front Atocha Station on the other side .....that bar should be 5 stars , its very famous , even come people of France to eat in It , Madrid is a country within of Spain , its a great city with a Subway and buses everywhere , you dont miss anything and people is always ready for helping the foreigners Have a good travel across Spain !
Love watching you living the dream since living van life full time iv never had the confidence to travel but now watching you I'll give it a go uk 🇬🇧only
Thanks for the tour of Madrid, so very nice to see more people free and about....the eternal flame is a very touching way of remembering so many covid deaths... Looking forward to next video. Keep safe...
Stumbled on to your channel yesterday and spent the night watching all of your 2020 holiday recordings. You have a lovely family and you're giving the boys such wonderful adventures and memories. I've always dreamed of having a motorhome and seeing you guys living the dream is an inspiration. Stay safe on the road and looking forward to your next release.
We're at the end of our trip now and actually staying at the very same Aire in Madrid - great find. We have a day trip planned for tomorrow before heading off to Burgos and then back to Santander on Monday.
Looks amazing, you really are having a good time in Spain. Through your TH-cam channel we can see what amazing people you are, always shining the light on other people like Sebastian. Thank you ❤️
Hi new to your channel, really enjoying it. We have toured Spain in our Motor home in the past, can't wait to do it again, in the meantime, I will do it through you. Thanks.
Thanks for such good videos. Just for your info, it is Plaza Mayor not mayo. Every regional capital has a Plaza Mayor which translate means the main square and is usually the center of the town
Take the vents off and also need to put some 12v fans into circulate air. To be fair our dometic 8 double height fridge isn’t phased as much by heat. You could put a portable fan or circulate air. Obviously running on gas makes it a bit cooler. Hope works well for you rest of trip.
So good to see you all on your travels again, so much love in your family between the two of you and the boys comes over on screen I allways love it, enjoy your hols can't wait for all the upcoming vlogs xxx
Hi Great episode really enjoy your euro adventures. Quick question if i may? In a prior episode i see you run a back up portable fridge . Do you run that on 12 v when traveling or just plug it in when your hooked up at a site ? Thanks
Sure it runs off the leisure batteries most of the time, but it does suck the power so when we’re not in electric hook up we plug the fridge into the Jackery
Just discovered you guys. I'm Irish, living in Madrid for the past 23 years. Have a caravan and 2 kids (and a dog!) And near the change to AC... IF you need any advice on places or anything, let me know.... Regards.
Hi guys I’m loving the channel and I’ve been subscribed since I started thinking about touring Spain 2or 3 years ago and this year we are following in your footsteps and going through Madrid. We want to stay at the park up you did and go on the free tour with Sebastian, my question is if we arrive at the park up around 8pm will the owner be there or can we book in advance? Ps loving Florida and the keys it’s on my bucket list take care and keep making the videos, cheers Graham
Thanks for the support and your kind words Graham. The owner stays on site so it should be fine, however in your case I would just ring ahead on the day your heading there and just check that they’re not full and to ensure turning up late would be okay.
hi - love following your journeys - thank you. Please can you tell me which air con unit you have? We have an 8m moho so looking for something huge to do the job! x
I love the videos, but am struggling to find out what order they come in. I saw the first video with the ferry and spain entry anxiety, leading towards Burgos. Is there one between that and this one? I hope you can get them put on a play list so it is easier to follow. I'd love to try this journey one day.
Thanks for sharing. Great to see your having a good time. It good to see things are looking normal. Following you with interest as we are right behind you soon. Have a great time.
geart video, all most like being there with you, wishfull thing lol, have you tried taking you 2 vents off the out side back of the fridgethis allows more airflow, beleave it or not it do'es work, also when you get home put 2 12v fans in conected to a thermostat module you can then set it to turn the fans on at the temperature of around 25/28c it will force air over the fins in the back of the fridge , not trying you teach you to suck eggs, but they do work in the heat over there. Stay safe and HAPPY TRAVELING
Yes we’ve had fridge fans fitted to every Motorhome, they’re an essential when travelling these hot countries, but they still can’t cope at these high temperatures
We have 3 computer fans 12v really helps when we went to Spain but they are a bit loud but does help the fridge especially when turn the van so they are in the shade
Interesting vblog. Though rather you than us going travelling in a motorhome in very hot weather. Sweep said I bet you could fry a egg on the front of your bonet with that heat. Remember the song 🎵 Only Mad Dogs and English Men Go Out In The Miday Sun 🌞
Just wondering were you running your fridge on tricity as I do not think they are great that selection.> We were in Germany in the 2020 heatwave and fridge worked fine and the food in freezer stayed fully frozen . We never hook up as go no aircon ( gas far cheaper than electricity ) so was running totally on gas. I have got fans drawing the hot air out the top vent 24/7 also but do not know if is helping or not..
Please have a think about numbering the vids. Great way of identifying which is which. Yes I understand if one chooses to set notifications, but some peeps don’t. Yes, subscribe, yes like notifications 🥴 really would appreciate that.
Hi Steve, we add them to the playlist so they are all in order to view. Just take a look at the Summer 2021 Road Trip playlist on our channel and they’re all in order to view on there
@@RoamingRadfords I’m sure, but they aren’t in any order this end. It’s the way TH-cam regurgitates them. It’s all suggestive, despite subscribing, once inside your channel they run back to front, the system is flawed and only favours control by using notifications. Plus the smart TV’ version of TH-cam is limited with its menu options.
Hi currently in market for a motorhome for my family to travel france and Spain next year is there any websites or apps you would recommend for booking campsites
luv video I dont know how you walked about in that heat, George done great , what happened to your other son, did he not go away with you. I luv always the history lessons , so interesting. stay safe.
Hi guys great vlog love watching your adventures abroad, gives us a view of what’s it like to camp abroad, prices, camps and what it’s all about ! Keep the great vlogs coming, best of luck to you regards dave
It’s my favourite time of the year. Going on holiday with the Radfords. Madrid looked very interesting. Glad you got to see it when it wasn’t busy, and the heat not as strong, otherwise George would probably have needed to go back sooner. Harry seemed to love it. As for THE elusive Eddie, well, spotted him on a few occasions.😂😂 Great vlog, just need to see at least one were you’re both tipsy, as it’s a joy.😂👍😉❤️
@@RoamingRadfords yes, I saw that 😂😂. Do you remember last holiday you and Steve outside the motorhome vloggong with several drinks in you? I just like your style of ‘holiday’. You both do it so well! Missed you too.❤️❤️❤️
We are contemplating buying a motorhome for 2022 and have just come across your channel - a great insight into motorhome life and maybe the inspiration we need to push ahead and get one. Enjoying watching your travels and trips 👍
Great vlog guys. Great advice on the free walking tours. Any chance you can drop in the What3words in of places? I know how much Steve loves to edit lol
I love to watch you both never miss your wife should be a broad caster on TV very professional. I cannot stand happy holidays who ever he is keep up the good work guys
Loved your vlog have only just found you we lived in Spain for 10 years in Murcia but sad to say never visited Madrid. Went to several cities like Barcelona, Córdoba, Seville and Granada the Alhambra Palace is awesome.
Great video and it looks like the ideal place for getting in into Madrid. Just wondering what were the roads like getting to the Aire with your big motorhome?
We love your travels guys. Finding so many places to stay and visit for when we eventually hit Europe. Thanks for sharing all your awesome spots 🤙🏽😎
Ohhh thank you so much x

Fantastic vid , enjoyed it 👍
Thanks Ian!
A lot of people come to the south coast from Madrid in the summe.. murcia being a favourite I live there and it gets crowded
I can imagine how busy it gets, but what a lovely place to live Brenda x
Great video guys keep up the good work what was the app for the taxi you are using.
John we used the Uber app x
Enjoying this
Yay! That’s lovely to read Clare!
Thanks for showing us around Madrid, enjoyed it. 👍

Hey Paul, we have fridge fans fitted to every van and that helps a little. It’s this heat mate, none of our fridges have ever coped well in this hear.
Awesome video guys, loving them =)
Thanks Jon!
Iv driven to Madrid wasn't very nice try Peniscola on the coast between Barcelona and valencia lovely place

Does anyone know the track the DJ was playing please??
Oh James, so sorry. No?
Kilómetro Zero is the place where all the majors roads to the regional capital start as Madrid is nearly perfectly the center of Spain
Awesome info!
Great big city visit. Good tips 👍💙❤️
Thank you xx
Looks like you're all having a great time. Really great video again, truly inspiring!
We are so excited to read that, thank you so much xx

Aww thanks Tim!
Warmer than Milton Keynes at the moment lol. Is there an average / expected tip for the guided tour,
Not sure, they are very careful to dress pay “what you think it’s worth”.
That was very cool😍
Thank you Sheila!
You should try Croatia went just before covid in a motorhome, it’s amazing long but easy drive, great weather and pretty cheap
They’ve been there and loved it too. 👍😉
Croatia is our absolute favourite travel destination! We’ve spent a few summers over there, but all before we started filming!

Great video guys. I’ve been eyeing Madrid myself…. I want to go to the Bernabeu!! ⚽️😉
☺️
we really enjoyed my wonderful family again on this one, our George is growing up fast....love your hair George x x
Thank you Nanna!
You need some exhaust fans on your fridge it will help it work in the hot weather
Dan they were on 😳🤦🏻♀️ it was just so hot the fridge couldn’t cope. Thankfully, the next day was ouch cooler!
We have 3 computer fans 12v really helps when we went to Spain but they are a bit loud but does help the fridge especially when turn the van so they are in the shade
That owner with his DJ decks 🤣 What an absolute legend! Great video guys
Thanks Tim, he really is!
only 37 degrees............. WOW............ wait til you get into the 40's ....... like we have here in OZ over summer...... I hate it.....
Interesting vblog. Though rather you than us going travelling in a motorhome in very hot weather. Sweep said I bet you could fry a egg on the front of your bonet with that heat. Remember the song 🎵 Only Mad Dogs and English Men Go Out In The Miday Sun 🌞
Sweep is very sensible! Thankfully we have air conditioning to help with the evening heat, and swimming pools for the daytime
Loving your videos guys, Madrid looks amazing. we cannot wait to get to Spain next year in our motorhome! 😍
Ohh you will love it Jennifer!
You guys should be hired as travel presenters so lively and informative tapped the bell look forward to next vlog 👌👍👍👍❤
Ohhh thank you! That would be fun!
Really enjoyed the tour and info on Madrid
Lyndsay looked in her element 😃
Enjoy the rest of your holiday
I really was!!
It looks like you still have winter covers on outside fridge vents?
Nope the winter covers are off and we have fridge fans fitted but still always the fridge fails every time
Love the history as you walk through well done guys looks a gorgeous break your having take care enjoy
Thanks Bradley!
Fabulous Vlog. Madrid was a great city break. Good to mix it up and cities always have surprises. Looking forward to the next one 👍🏻😃🚐 Trev n Sue

Just wondering were you running your fridge on tricity as I do not think they are great that selection.>
We were in Germany in the 2020 heatwave and fridge worked fine and the food in freezer stayed fully frozen .
We never hook up as go no aircon ( gas far cheaper than electricity ) so was running totally on gas.
I have got fans drawing the hot air out the top vent 24/7 also but do not know if is helping or not..
We usually just run the fridge in gas
@@RoamingRadfords Ok thanks ...that's just blown my theory out the swimming pool.

How long was the drive from aire to Plaza de Major?
It was around 15-20 mins
Great city. Thanks guys, safe travels. All the very best to you all. Cheers.
We loved it Rob!
Funny enough Madrid had snow this year.
I know! Ironic 🤣
