Hi can anyone tell me the best route from Bilboa to L'Estartit in Spain we are going in June this year with our caravan and have not travelled this way before. Also can we stay on the dock at Bilboa on the way back for one night like you can in Calais or can anyone recommend  a campsite in Bilboa for the return journey

Hi there. Just come back from Vilanova, equi distance between Tarragona and
Barcelona.  For us the best route  was autovia all the way from Bilbao.  As you come out of the docks just follow the ring road and signs to Lleida, this will then put you on AP68 down to Zaragoza then follow the signs to Barcelona and after that the signs for L'Estartit. It is an easy route, well signposted all the way. Have been to L'Estartit quite a few times and it's a really nice place. Also, we stayed on the docks at Bilbao Sunday night. We arrived there at about 8pm and went straight  into lane 18.  Hope this helps and have a great holiday. Hopefully, we will be going that way again in September.  Jan

you sure it's the fridge and not a dodgy connection to the car.  Our lunar lexon 640 fridge would never work when attached to the car. We never did find out what the problem was.

Hi there, it depends on what route you want to take.  We've done Bilbao to Albefeira stopping at caceres. We've also gone through or should I say around Madrid, again with one stopover.  So it's really best to choose which way you want to go and to what part of Portugal you're going.  We will hoprfully be going back to Portugal this coming winter but we may well start from St Malo and drive through France and Spain. Haven't made up our minds just yet cos there's still plenty of time.  Jan
