Has anyone done this drive recently
Are there any tolls on the way, if so do you know how much i would pay ?
I can only see one at tarragona on a map
TIA

Apart from a small stretch of ring rode around Alicante, which you can avoid, I believe there are no tolls north of Alicante until you hit the French border.

Just driven back to UK and agree with Elcarrero no tolls others than round Alicante, made quite a difference.

We take our time and take three overnight stops, but distance wise from where we live in Surrey to Torrevieja the mileage is about 1350 miles - we use Eurotunnel. We use motorway all the way, and I suppose it took 18 plus hours actual driving time. That's with both of us driving, so no need for long stops in between.
