I presume you have sorted out Residency arrangements as you cannot stay permanently without it?

Yes Michael you presume correct. We have spent much of the lockdown sorting out all we need and getting someone over there to assist us. Currently negotiating a rental.

Hi Wizzy
We have just drove down from Calais, I would be tempted to go Bilbao - Zaragoza - Valencia - Alicante route we had no tolls from leaving the Somport Tunnel and all motorway, I cant comment on the other route as I haven't drove it plenty services and fuel stops although we drove from Pau in France...

... to Villamartin on 2/3 of a tank of fuel and thats with cruise control set at 80 most of the way
Enjoy the drive and your retirement.
Maybe not a good idea to send people via Zaragoza as it is now the epicenter of Covid-19 in all of Europe.

Hi Bill
I have just driven back that way aslong as you dont stop its not a problem.
I would also fill up in Spain as fuel through france is extortionate unless you go off track and still not as cheap as Spain.

Sorry to bother again, could someone tell me if car breakdown cover Is available in Spain and a rough idea of cost. We are bringing our UK Reg car over for a short period and our U.K. breakdown only covers us for the journey.
Thanks Wizzy
