I find the tunnel much cheeper!

Its the toll roads that cost the most! about £100 in tolls each way last time I went! However you can ask your sat nav to aviod these roads, but it adds lots of time to your route

 Does anybody know what the true cost would be to drive to condado from say hampshire, ferry prices and tolls,  last year cost us loads for car hire then you have the flights plus you can load up and bring more with you.

We did the drive in March

 

P & O both ways and it cost £227 each way for two of us and an inside cabin

 

Then drove to Huercal Overa which is a bit further than Condado-601 miles

 

Tolls circa 37 € each way

Stayed at Ibis Hotel at Mostoles Madrid cost 54€ for a room

 

4 hours to Madrid and 4 ½ hours to Huercal Overa on very good roads mainly quiet at a steady 80 mph or so

 

Due to the storms in the Bay of Biscay the P & O ship took a detour to avoid it and so we arrived 8 hours later than schedule

So if it arrives normal time there is no problem doing the drive in a day

 

Price of course increases as the year progresses and current quotes for May are  circa £319 on the way out and £271 back with Brittany Ferries

Mid summer is circa £1000+ for a car and two people

 

Overall we found it a good journey and for longer stays worth doing off peak times

 

Made one mistake though!

On the way over the car was full with goods for the new villa on the way back forgot to fill it up with wine!!!

Won’t make the same mistake again- found some very good Rioja at 1.71 € and Cava at about the same price and just as good as Tesco’s !!  

 

You can get all details from P & O / Brittany Ferry web site and a route from Google directions, which is very good and easy to follow

We did not buy the food tickets and found it quite reasonable to eat on board- many take their own food and drink with them
