Torrevieja Forum and Discussion Board

We are driving down in September for a month (with cat ) we last drove in 2010, from Calais we took the east side down to Pau, we didn't get many tolls, has anyone got a route for me please, we plan to overnight in Pau, and one somewhere further north,
Also regarding the clean air sticker, I will have a Crit Aire sticker do I need one for spain the car is UK registered will I need another one?
TIA

You can't at the moment get a Spanish crit air for a non Spanish registered vehicle. My workaround and I don't know if it does.is I have the French criteria certificate because the Spanish authorities will accept credit certificates from other nations. That said I'm not sure how many cities in Spain actually have to crit air zones implemented I know Torrevieja hasn't started yet

Hi Wendy, we always drive down and back, but use motorways most of the way which is more expensive, but easy driving. We don't like driving more than 6 hours or so a day as we have got older, so we do three overnight stays. We usually travel down towards Tours and then cut across to go down towards Clermont Ferand then keep going south! Enjoy your trip.

Use the Viamichelin route planner. it generally gives 3 options, will also tell you how much the tolls are in France.

I go from Dieppe - Rouen, (I pay the toll at the junction of the A13 and N154 as its only about €2.30) - Chartres, then down the N10 to Tours - Poitiers - Bordeaux. Head south from Bordeaux on the A63, I come off at junction 18 and go across country towards Mont De Marsan - Oloron Sainte Marie. Stay overnight Oloron Sainte Marie. Head up to the Somport Tunnel in the morning and onwards to Torrevieja
