starvin marvin Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Just a couple of questions. France: Is the old N10 from Bordeaux to Bayonne now a fully functioning Peage? Spain: We usually, when heading to the Costa Blanca overnight at either the site at Manzanera or Navajas, earlier this year we also stopped at the site at Olite, which was expensive for what was on offer. I'm looking for something say near to Teruel to break the journey to Javea. Anyone know of a stopping place or site around that area? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avensis Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 As of mid September 2013 still non toll. A lot of work in progress some delays. Open until 15/11 Ciudad de Albarracin three tier site 20 min walk to historical town ( well worth a visit ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open until 15/11 Cuidad de Albarracin three tier site 20 min walk to historical town ( well worth a visit ). Thanks for the reply, interesting that its was still non-toll in Sept. We've been to Albarracin and free camped in the car park, think it may be too cold to free camp early in the year, and as you say the site closes in mid Nov. It probably means free camping in a lower altitude village somewhere, unless someone knows better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We drove down here mid September and it was all peage, having said that,it was cheap enough not to bother with finding an alternative route so we came back the same way in October.

Guest JudgeMental Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Westerly route, motorway all the way about £20..campers are class one, so really hardly worth avoiding, unlike those robbing French toe tags.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree with your French sentiments....The route we tend to use to come from Irun to Pamplona on the brilliant N121a. Then on the AP15/AP68 to jcn19 then Magallon then onto Carinena via La Almunia then the A23 to Sagunto then A7/AP7 to jcn 62 Denia/Javea....job done. This gives a nice mix of roads and opportunities to have a night or two halt if we feel the need to rest and stretch our legs. How does your route differ?

Guest JudgeMental Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I use 121 as well but to be honest just follow the sat nag, but it's Pamplona, Zaragoza, Alicante .. on way down overnight on ACSI site near Tudela. Looked for an aire nearby that turned out to be a housing estate, and this was nearest site in sat nav, used it last year as well, can't remember the name.....

nomad Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hi, have you thought of missing Bairitz and Pamplona and going via Mont de Marsan, Orthez. and the Somport tunnel to Huesca?. its a great road after the tunnel unless you are in a very large RV. But then the climb up to Pamolona can be almost as severe. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manu Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Yeah thats the place Eddie, always lots of vans & trucks there......just off the A23, safe as well, never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However in the winter I don't fancy it, but thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Just had an e-mail from Vicarious Books which tells me amongst other things that the old N10 is now the A63 and is, as others posters have said, now peage from Bordeaux to Bayonne.
