John.N Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I would like to tap in to the wealth of accumulated knowledge on this forum for a journey from Alicante to Santander. Points to be considered in order of priority are:- 1) Expected road conditions in March. 2) Interest. 3) Short journey time. Would 3 days be a comfortable journey? Thanks in advance for some really useful information. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 From memory its about 500 miles and all good road and mainly dual carriageway and free motorway and can be done easily in one day - albeit maybe a long day - depends what you consider long and how much you enjoy driving! Duration - it all depends what you want - extend it into as many days as you wish or crack on and get there? Weather should be OK in March but there is still the risk of snow on the mountains. That said the Spanish snow ploughs are very efficient - usually - but you never can tell. If you are worried wait for a decent weather forecast before leaving? Depends what interests you?

starvin marvin Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Just drive it in a day, theres not much to do and it with be cold at nights, so just crack on. I drove 400+ from St Jean de Luz to around Javea easily in a day, even easier if you have two drivers. Otherwise take as long as you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek500 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 TomTom shows you going through Madrid. Well worth stopping there on the first night, spending a whole day and then the third day on to Alicante. We stayed a couple of nights at Camping Osuna. Only a short walk from the Metro to get into the city. Madrid is well worth the visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
