Which is the best route to Southern Spain from the channel ports avoiding the "car killer" hill's, I'll be pulling a caravan, also at what time of year are the roads clear of snow, are there any towns/cities that should be avoided because of traffic problems.

Theres a few threads on here about this Mick. I usually take the motorway past Lille, Lyon, Perpignan, Barcelona. Its a full two day drive, and I usually stop in Valances. Dont know what the tolls will be with a caravan though. The motorways should be pretty clear.

The other route I took was Portsmouth St Malo and then down the West Coast, Bordeaux, but you have to skirt the Pyranees so I dont know what the roads will be like there, maybe not caravan friendly.
