Driving from Manchester to Benijófar - Page 3

Thank you for your advi

Hi,

We do Calais to Cabó Roig at least twice a year via the Chunnel. 

We do Rouen, Abeville, Le Mans, Bordeaux, San Sebastián, Pamplona, Zaragoza, Terrell, Valencia and home. 

We travel straight through as we’ve too many dogs to stop, and pay the tolls as we don’t have the time to do the more scenic routes.  The tolls cost about €120. 

If you miss the turn at Abeville you’ll end up in Paris and regret it. It’s always busy, and quite complicated.

Bordeaux can often be busy - good to time it at an off peak time. We can do Cannock to Cabó Roig in 24 hours if the wind is in the right direction, and we keep to the limits generally. M25 and Bordeaux permitting!

Hope that helps. 

We too are planning to drive down with our dog so I'll be keeping an eye on this post. Thanks everyone 😊

Hi

Ibis in Abbeville and Bordeaux both budget hotels. Clean and comfortable. We drove it 5 weeks ago to our new villa in Catral. One stopover in Spain we’ll south of Zaragoza

Enjoy

I use a lady from Benidorm who transports pets to and from Spain I live in Liverpool and it costs £290 door to door , very well respected with up to date air conditioned vans   

Thanks 

We take two Cocker Spaniels from Cannock Staffs to Algorfa,  We go Dover to Calais our first stop is Abbeville. Next day is down to near Orleans for our second overnight stop. 3rd day we go to Oloron St Marie. 4th day drive through the tunnel passed Zaragossa down the motorway, passed Valencia, then Alicante down to Algorfa. We use our Sat Nav - pay no tolls this saving pays towards our dog friendly B&Bs, Fuel and B&B are cheaper also, being away from the motorways, The route only takes you off the toll motorway sections that charge ...... so you get a considerable amount of free motorway miles!! 

To use a ferry to Santander/Bilbao is very difficult due to the very limited spaces!!

I hope this helps ?  Dennis & Sue

Thankyou
