With regards to your animals I def think its better for them to go by car even though it takes longer.Animals cannot cope well with the noises etc on a plane especially cats. Our cat has been on a plane and has also travelled back to spain by car.She obviously didnt like the car either but its the better option and you do get pet friendly hotels in spain so you can stop over and rest.It is such a long way to travel in one go with animals to worry about especially when its hot.They get so dehydrated.My daughter had a syringe to squirt water right into her mouth. But shes here now and loving it chasing the lizards.Shes happy. Good luck. |

Thanks. We actually started thinking about using a caravan last night and did some research. It wouldn't cost much more to take it on the ferry to Spain and we could us it for a stop on our way through spain. Also we could load it with essentials that we can use while we wait for our furniture. My wife is talking to someone about a part furnished today so we will see how that goes!

We drove through the tunnel and through France and Spain down to CdS in an old campervan we purchased specially to transport our three dogs .. they were as good as gold and loved it.

We thought about the greatfun we would have in a camper van but we need to get our MPV down there so the options will be a caravan or if not then maybe a box trailer so that we have less in the car.

Costwise it maybe be cheaper to sell you MPV in the UK, buy a cheap campervan and then buy another MPV on Spanish plates when you get here????

Read here you´d be better coming down in an estate ish car and sell the camper back there. you might be lucky and sell it here, to someone going back. |
Re: Moving to Andalucia
Okay we will keep the MPV and come down in that. Will think about the caravan thing; I still like the idea of being able to take some things down and have the possibility of having a sleep in it on the way down.

Re: Moving to Andalucia
We drove our dogs as we felt far less stressfull as both were quite elderly, remember you need to get either export papers or passports for the animals, they need all vacs and also rabies up to date, contact DEFRA for details:)

We will have a dog and cat so any experience of getting pets down would be helpful. Would we fly them down separately or drive them down with us? |
Re: Moving to Andalucia
Hi All
Thanks for posts and advice; we arrived safe and sound last week after a long, hot but enoyable journey! |
