With a caravan and staying at sites open in winter.
Day 1 Calais - Tours
Day 2 Tours - Urrugne
Day3 Urrugne - Aranjuez
Day 4 Still a long drive to Lagos
But using motorway service stations overnight gives a wider choice. And motorhomers have great choice of other Aires.

Its a while since I did this trip but adding a bit more information to ET's post from the French/Spanish border I would head for Burgos, Valladolid and Salamanca. In Salamanca night stop at Camping Regio then onto Badajoz and Evora night stop at Camping Evora before heading for Lagos. If you have the time both these night stops are worth staying at a little longer to visit Salmanca and Evora.

Posted on 23/05/2023 13:22 by SimolThanks for this folks. Really helpful. I take it the stopover campsites are open all the year round? We can take our time travelling so the suggested extended stopovers sound good!

Posted on 23/05/2023 12:26 byWe have been to Lagos many times (never in winter) but have never tried to do it in that time frame. However agree about Urrugne (Camping Larrouleta) and afterwards we have been making a stop between there and Camping Monfrague (others use Caceres) and then Camping Alentejo (about 25 miles East of Evora), very nice site convenient and with a friendly owner. From there across country via Evora and Beja.
