.Any tips on how to get down there? I've been trying to work out if its going to work out cheaper to ferry to Santader and then drive through Spain in two days (very expensive Ferry!) or take the cheap ferry through Calais and then spend four days and a lot more fuel and road charges....
If any one knows where to get cheap Ferry tickets for either the UK-Europe bit or the Europe-Africa bit thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
i too have been weighing up the ferry options. ports-bilbao is approx £450 whilst the dover calias is cheap as you like and ports-la havre is approx £130.
working it all (almost) out i think the bilbao route would only cost £100 more. this would be easiler if someone could tell me the toll costs for french roads.
from other people the spain ferry is more favourable. just think when you finish after driving for 2-4weeks solid, do you really want to cover the 1500+ miles to make the ferry? or the 600 to bilbao followed by 2 nights rest before the UK? i know its more expensive, but im sure its no more than approx £100

these prices were for end sept/oct
yer having a laugh aint yer gareth, portsmouth le havre is one of the cheapest channel crossings. its cheapr to go portsmouth/le havre and drive down to the west coast of spain than to go any other way
,just been looking on autoroute. and it's saying 1400miles Calais to Algeciras avoiding all the toll roads and 1378 miles on the motorways.
