I am going to be driving to Murcia with my dog in June 2016 and am nervous about doing the trip alone. Would anyone like to come along and share the driving? I will pay for petrol, but would appreciate help with any tolls. Very flexible regarding dates.

Dont worry, roads and traffic lot better than UK.

I have used BlaBlaCar to find people to share a car with and the experience was good, although I used it for shorter trips.

I did a quick search of UK to Murcia car trips on their site and there are some up, in case you wanna have a look or post your own:

depending on where departing from uk ,getting the ferry from plymouth or southampton would cut your travelling time in half(less worry). only a days drive down to murcia then...

I have found it preferable to drive all the way using the channel tunnel with animals - life on-board for pets is not nice in rough weather

Travelling by car, if you know your dogs, means you can stop for calls of nature easier
