European Cities Van Tour

Todays vans are really quite comfortable and practical when popping off to the continent for a short break. Van hire isn't just for commercial purposes any more. As one local put it:-

why you prefered to choose go to istanbul:) you will find crowd places in everywhere if you choose there. I recommend u to go some anatolian cities. Guaranteed to get everything cheaper on there than istanbul. Just get a tent , rent a van and never stay more than one night in a place along southern coast. Plus,you can ring a door randomly when u need shower or toilet,moreover u can do it for dinner :) hospitality is a tradation in Turkey. Welcom.

I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable myself knocking on doors to get meals, but I like the idea of driving along the coast with all my stuff in the back of the van.

If Turkey isn't your bag, there's always a bargain deal to be made in Barcelona:-

Barcelona Hotel - 90 Eur.
Without doing any research, without any effort at all, I can type in the name of a 4star hotel on my netbook, go to their website and see double rooms for 75 Euro per night.
With a bit of effort, you will find these for 50-60 Euro.
\"Barcelo Sants\" - its not on the ramblas, but it is on top of the main rail station.
You can get the underground to the rambla in minutes. Also it gives you access straight to the airport - about 30mins, also if you are heading down to sitges, salou etc, the trains run from there, You can walk from the hotel into the rambla area, and it might take you about 30 mins, and you can see a lot of things on the way.
So this is actually quite a plush hotel 4 star, and well below what is advised as cheap. I'd expect I could get some lesser hotels for 30-40 euro per night. Just a bit of research on the net.
