There\u2019s something special about August. It\u2019s the month many people look forward to all year round to switch off, enjoy a change of scenery and forget about the clock. However, it\u2019s also often the month of crowded beaches, traffic-jammed roads and accommodation that\u2019s impossible to book. <\/p>

That\u2019s where the motorhome makes all the difference.<\/p>

Whilst others tailor their holidays around a hotel, you can tailor your trip to whatever takes your fancy each day. If the heat gets too much, head for the mountains. If you discover a village you fall in love with, stay for one more night. If the sea is just perfect, make the afternoon last a bit longer without a thought for the return journey. <\/p>

The freedom of not having a fixed destination<\/h2>

One of the biggest advantages of travelling by motorhome in August is that you don\u2019t need a fixed itinerary. You can start by exploring the coast and, a few days later, end up having breakfast by a mountain lake. <\/p>

Spain offers a huge variety of landscapes within just a few kilometres. On a single route, you can go from the beaches of the Cantabrian coast to the forests of Navarre or lose yourself amongst the white villages of Andalusia. <\/p>

It is this constant change of scenery that makes every trip different.<\/p>

When the heat gets to you, change tack<\/h2>

Many people associate August solely with the beach, but some of the best summer memories are made far from the coast.<\/p>

The Pyrenees, the Picos de Europa, the Sierra de Cazorla and the Jerte Valley offer much more pleasant temperatures and a different way to enjoy the summer.<\/p>

Sleeping with the window open, having breakfast surrounded by mountains or ending the day by a river is a luxury that only a few get to experience.<\/p>

The best trips begin when you leave room for improvisation<\/h2>

There\u2019s something that happens on almost every motorhome trip.<\/p>

You set off with an idea of the route…<\/p>

…and you come back talking about places you didn\u2019t even know existed.<\/p>

A sign pointing to a viewpoint.<\/p>

A minor road.<\/p>

A small village where you decide to stop just for a coffee.<\/p>

It\u2019s those spur-of-the-moment decisions that end up becoming the best memories.<\/p>

August is also a time to slow down<\/h2>

There\u2019s a feeling that when you\u2019re on holiday, you have to make the most of every minute.<\/p>

Visit more places.<\/p>

Take more photos.<\/p>

To cover more kilometres.<\/p>

But travelling in a motorhome often teaches you exactly the opposite.<\/p>

A leisurely breakfast can be the best part of the day.<\/p>

A sunset can be worth more than a list of monuments.<\/p>

And that very often, true luxury simply consists of having time.<\/p>

I think this approach fits much better with the identity Caravan Hill is building. You\u2019re not selling a motorhome; you\u2019re selling a way of travelling. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
