Hi,
Merry Xmas to all!
Mrs Charmed & me are heading off soon for our first long haul to hopefully get some winter sun and warmth in Southern Spain.
Mrs C has been busy reading, researching and working out a route and stopovers. But nothing beats experience
, so we'd appreciate any info/comments on our chosen route from you good folk who have done this trip - especially any who are en route or been this way recently. Help or advice on stopovers would be really great too.
So:-
We sail to Caen, then heading to cross the border into Spain at Irun (anticipating a no snow route). The notional route is Caen to Argentan (1st stop), then Niort via Angers (aiming to avoid the toll roads). Then down the coastal route (E05/A10 to Bordeaux, and A63 to Bayonne & Irun).
Once in Spain, we're thinking head to Pamploma, then either the MWay to Zaragoza then Valencia, & Alicante. OR non MWay straight (?) down to Albacete then Alicante. Our destination is La Manga (nr Cartagena).
Hoping to get lots of good suggestions
