Does anyone have any news regarding the tolls on the AP-7, they have now gone up to €3.95 for high season I take it.

I have heard a few rumours that they were to be scrapped this year? We try not use them but the N-332 is so buy due to the tolls so if your want to get anywhere in a reasonable time toll roads always best!

Hi Kim,

Thanks for replying, we arrived here in February and with exception of holidays tolls were €2.20 but have now gone up to €3.95 between Alicante and Cartagena!

Rob.

Sanchez' promise to remove Franco's remains from their actual grave by Jan. 31 (repeatedly postponed until May 30 ) is still waiting to be fulfilled, and so are others like higher mimum income, lower taxes to name just the most important..

Información newspaper today said that one of the Valencian government's commitments is to make the AP7 toll-free, but didn't state a target date.

We made the mistake of using the toll (by accident) on Thursday on our way to La Zenia Boulevard, as we left from Benimar this time instead of Torrevieja like we did last time.

I was incensed that we had to pay €3.95 toll fee, but even more so approximately 1 mile further down the road when we had to pay it again to get off at La Zenia. 

Have now set my Google maps to permanently avoid toll roads so we won't be making that mistake again.

Local knowledge is key, like when I go to Corvera Airport I stay on the N332 until the roundabout where the Wok Restaurant is located and join the AP7 there, then on return take the first exit after the tunnel, tolls are avoided,
