  • Weve just got flights to gerona and were paying £94 for a weeks mobile home hire on the coat via Eurocamp ( saving a massive £210 off the brochure cost)
    Im just about to post about their early season bargains on a thread of its own

    Might be cheapest looking for a few night in similar acommodation if you arent bothered about staying in a hotel. Their mobile homes are brilliant quality
