driving from Bilbao to torrevieja

I drive from the UK to Villamartin on a regular basis. We cross at the border near San Sebastian.  It takes approximately 8hrs from there. From Bilbao you can either go via Zaragoza or Burgos nr Madrid. I drive from the UK in one go without a stopover so I am used to long drives. If you got off the boat at Bilbao before 1pm I wold say go for it. If later I would do a stop 

Thank you, we arrive in Balbao at 08:30, so i will try and do it in one with a few pit stops, cheers

At that time I would go for it. A couple of pit stops you will arrive bout teatime. Whichever way you go it is a fairly dull drive with not much to see. But roads are quiet so you can gun it a little 

Great, Cheers

Hi I am also doing this route in September but have never driven in another country have you travelled over how easy was it and if I had to take a break are there any service stations like we have in the UK to stop

When I did the journey from Bilbao to Benidorm on a cruiser motorcycle l stopped over at Zaragosa for a nights stopover. As a motorbike has a smaller petrol tank we were stopping at service stations (some were well off the main drag) which could be 100 km in between so I recommend stopping for fuel more often rather than risking it. Great journey but stick to the toll roads.

Bilbao-Logrono-Zaragoza-Teruel-Valencia and then on the AP7 down the coast.

Nice drive, a few breaks and it isn’t a problem at all, you’re arriving Bilbao at a great time allowing you a relaxed drive south. Can be busy around Valencia but an easy trip.

Enjoy.
