Driving from Manchester to Benijófar

I would recommend that you use Via Michelin to plan your route, it will provide detailed information on your route including where and how much the tolls are, then depending on how far you ant to drive each day you can Google for pet friendly Hotels. We did the journey from Cherbourg to La Zenia with our dog and it worked a treat, on the motorway easy driving and traffic conditions, service stations has picnic / park areas so we were able to walk our dog while he did his business and Hotels were excellent. Good Luck.

Avoid any route that takes you near Paris it is a nightmare.

Look on Google Maps and take the A28/A10 and go via Zaragoza that would be my choice if I did it again, then as mentioned above you can Google for hotels

Thanks for your advi

Accor.com 

Accor group cover a number of hotel chains. On their website you can choose the area you wish and filter the results, one option is for hotels that accept pets.

As I see it, B&B hotels are a real bang for the buck. And don't miss out their brakfast. Passing Paris you have three ways to continue, either via Lyon-Barcelona or Bordeaux - Irun - Zaragoza - Teruel or Bordeaux - Vitoria - Madrid - Alicante. Differences in distances are insignificant. The Lyon-Barcelona route is very stressing due to high traffic at all times, specially on weekends, not to forget a considerable amount of toll fees all the way.

The easiest route is via Madrid, as there only a few kilometers of toll roads. Approaching Madrid use M50 and exit for A3 (disregard R3). Depending on where you might consider an overnight stay I can give you some indications.

Hi, I strongly recommend the ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbou, we have done the Manchester through Calais route and the ferry from Portsmouth and the Portsmouth route was far less stressful.

Or Santander. both routes a relaxing break.

Villas

We had thought of doing it that way but I don’t want my dog being stuck in a kennel for hours on end, she has never been in a kennel in her life and I think it would be very stressful for her
