Yes, we returned that way this Spring, around 1st March, it was fine.

We used GNV, we have also used them from Italy to Tunisia, and Barcelona to Morocco.

If you are then coming back through France, there is a nice free town centre Aire at the little seaside town of Arenzano, about an hour from Genoa.

N.44.40227 E 8.68423

We really liked Sicily, we just parked up in ports and harbours, only paid for a town centre Parking in Palermo, which was most interesting too.

We have not overwintered in Murcia/Almeria but the South coast of Sicily was mild and pleasant in Jan/Feb last year, especially the South East.

Smile During the winter months Sicily will be slightly cooler than Murcia in Spain. Italy/Sicily lie far enough East to be influenced by cold easterly airstreams from Russia/Balkans, whilst the Spanish Costas are influenced by milder Atlantic airstreams. However, very often you get also very warm spells off North Africa, especially on the Marsala/Ragusa coastline.

Good morning all, and thanks for the replies, it would seem not much in the temperatures between the two places at that time of year so might do it, if on for a change. Barrie

Hello,

I have considered it, but only have a couple of weeks off, so too far. Looks like Costa Blanca for us.

I just priced the ferry again and it came out at around €580 with outside cabins (return).

Weather can be stormy at that time of year

But we shall be going across Biscay if we go to Costa Blanca!

Maybe another year or if we get to retire?

Sitting outside our van now in Lucca, sun has been shining and we are on our way down to Sicily. Can get quite cold at night at the moment in not by the coast.
