Directions required: Murcia Airport to Condado

Hi everyone,

Yes, I know this thread has been done before but I can't find it...............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could anyone give idiot proof directions from the airport down to Condado. I'm completing at San Javier and need to drive straight down to our place.

Thanks

Hi Phil & Debbie,

We were given great directions from airport from Debie Payton & those on thread below look the same to me.

Having said that we took the wrong slip road off the first roundabout from airport as the sign was also blue & white.

Its not easy to concentrate on driving on the " wrong side " of the road & look forsigns too.

Of course the minute we got onto the slip road we realised we had acted to swiftly.

No, sorry I realised, we had taken the wrong one but it was to late by then

As I am sure you will experience . Motorways & dual carrage ways are great  in Murcia as there seems to be very little traffic

However once your on one of them the opportunity to get of again takes a very long time & often there is no access back on the opposit side.

We were 2 hours late arriving on Condado , through lack of knowlege of the area & 1 silly mistake.

My advise is to take your time & if necasary go round Islands twice or even 3 times  just to make sure.

We ended up in the mountains some where in thick mist , in the dark,. not an experience I would like to have again

Best wishes

Thanks for the advise. I think the main problem is going to be my wifes navigating. She has a habit of telling me to make a turn about 100 yards after we pass it. She then blames me for driving too fast.

I could go on about the differance between how much better us blokes are at driving but Deb's just come back into the room............later.

Hi

For a toll free and all motorway trip, and to avoid Torre Pacheo, take AP7 from the airport,  posted Cartagena. Stay on to junctions 800 and 810 both posted Murcia.  This is the A30. Then RM2 and RM23 to Condado. 

The journey  is clearly posted on Google maps

Hi Phil

As mentioned previously the info Karen has given you is the same as we were given by Debbie.

We did not come across any toll roads using these directions.

My advise to you is watch that first roundabout.

If my memory serves me corectly there are two blue & white signs DONT take the first one, thats the one we took & we got completly lost. So as said previously , take your time.go round again if you need to

Ham reminded me that we actually went round one roundabout  3 times , just to make sure we were going the correct way having got down safely from the mountains

Oh whats this about  us women being bad navigators.

If Ham had listened to me We would not have got it wrong

Remember  Phil, its the women that can multi task. Ha Ha 

Happy driving

Jan & Ham

We've just come back from our first visit and found that our TOMTOM 720 with European maps was great, not 100 % accurate but got us where we wanted to go - I'd recommend investing in one!
