he,s a hgv removal driver!! we,re planning on going to la marina urb it,s between alicante and torrevieja. Did u get ure children in spanish school? if so how did they settle?

Thanks for that! I,ll get the other half to look at that, planning the route is more his dept than mine! It does sound a good site and the idea of putting toll money in seperate bags is a good one (not something i would of thought of!) thanks for that The Oddities!

Just printed off our route, one question though is it well signposted when you get off the ferry

Yes its fairly easy ... you've got the road numbers on your Michelin printout, so just look for the numbers, its easy honest .... If my wife can navigate me through it anyone can

Being a techy git im tomtom`ing it the whole way.. will print off routes just in case as well

Im taking ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao, might be easier on the kids doing it that way, saves them being stuffed in the car for 2 days straight.
You avoid the french tolls, the mileage, having to find a hotel

Everything is pretty well sign posted, but just to be on the safe side, purchase a European road map as well to have with you while travelling.

We mapped out the michelin route on the European map and off we went. Didn't get lost once
