Thanks for the tip but luckily I wont be driving my partner is so Spain can breath a sigh of relief ! I am dreading it though its a bloody long drive
I’ve done it a few times, don’t worry it’s a doodle of a drive. Far easier and less traffic than in the UK, a breeze compared to the M6 or M25. It’s around 8 hours, nearly all motorway and with very little other cars except around the Madrid orbital motorway, same set up as M25 around London or M42 around Brum, and about as busy. However, you’re only on it for less than an hour. Try to time that bit for outside of rush hours.
The last time we did it we stopped overnight just south of Madrid, but usually go straight through with a few comfort breaks. However, I have usually shared the driving.
The tolls are minimal, as previously stated, no more than 20 euros.

That's good to know. We arrive early in Bilao around 8 on a Sunday morning so we've lots of time. I might persuade him to go right through with lots of mini breaks.
Thanks so much for the extra info greatly appreciated 👍

We drove over here to live in March this year.
We downloaded the via Michelin app on mobile phone - it was great.
