Re: Furniture removal
The only way I know of to drive to Portugal without going through France is to get the ferry to Bilbao or Santander. I have done both and both trips are pleasant, but expensive. The drive from there can be done in one day in a good car but, if you have a load of furniture I would think that an overnight stop is preferable. Driving via Seville is my preferred option as there are fewer tolls in Spain and the roads are good.

Re: Furniture removal
Thanks for replies...I have found a Portugal based company who can do removal for a good price and will store furniture at no extra cost until I arrive in Portugal in Feb /March 2008....their web site is www.Muduatudo.com....compared with cost of Ferry petrol etc I think I will go with this company
