Cheap Holiday - Spain - Car Hire and Camping

Inspired by the comprehensive coverage on this carefully crafted blog post about the issue of global warming it set the team here at Nothing Interesting looking ahead to the next few months of summer.  Will the predicted BBQ summer mean long light evenings of al fresco wining and dining or can we look forward to another UK washout?

This year camping appears to be all the rage - both in the UK and Europe - with many people getting great deals on advanced flight tickets to poular holiday desitations such as South of France and Spain.

Arriving at the airport with minimal luggage - lightweight sleeping bags and compact tents - first job is to sort out car hire.  Spain offers some fantastic camping sites if you’re prepared to stray away from the main tourist trails and hiring a car is an economical way of getting around.  Public transport in Spain is good - both cheap and efficient - but the flexibility of car rental really lets you explore off the beaten track areas and find hidden beauty spots and what better way to get to know these than camping?

Checking online price comparison sites you can get some fantastic deals on everything you need for a happy camping trip.  As well as tents and sleeping bags you can pick up camping equipment and accessories that will make your nights under the stars feel like you are in a home from home.

Camping in Spain requires some accessories that you are unlikely to have needed in the UK.

• To recreate the gastronomic delights available in towns and villages buy a special ‘Span Pan’ set that includes a lightweight paella pan.
• Top toons should include a mix of do wop (comes from the spanish guapo) and flamenco music for the ipod.
• Fight the bites with a professional venom extractor.
• Feeling flush? Pick up a portable camping toilet although this may present difficulties at airport check in so buy locally.

Plan ahead and camping in Spain really can fulfil you holiday needs without stretching the purse strings.
