Newbie to Spain and Southern France

Hello all

We have a van based motorhome, and are considering three weeks touring abroad this year.

We are quite keen to go to Spain via Santander or Roscoff, and wind our way back up through France.

In past years we have taken our caravan to the Ardeche and loved it, but with the motorhome we feel a touring style holiday with short breaks would be best for us.

We don't know a lot about Spain, and would welcome any advice on where best to head for. Well have our teenager and a couple of small dogs (if they are allowed ) with us.

We like good food, sightseeing, culture and peace and quiet....and I know there are a lot of you who have a great deal ofexperience of touring in Spain... but we are clueless with regard which way to head when we get off the ferry.

Has anyone tried a similar trip? Any advice on where would be a good starter for us in Spain, and a good route back?

Thank you
