Goto the above site. I've just been pricing up tickets for Portsmouth to Bilbao for £174 return (AT Ferries). 2 berth cabin outward and return journeys.
Hurry, the deals won't last long.
Cost through France is:
Ferry (£35-45)
1 days hard ride (£65 petrol)
and therefore
1 nights accomodation (£20)
You also will require an extra days travel (since you sleep on the ferry and therefore arrive fresh at the top of Spain).
Total:
Dover/Calais Ferry - £240 return
Porstmouth/Bilbao - £174 return
Hope that helped. ____________________ Travelling around the world...a bit at a time. Where am I now? / Visit my BLOG

I'd double petrol and tyre costs though Trev's riding style is very fast and rev the bollox off the 636 all the time. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

The roads around Andorra can be congested as hell though, I regret not taking another route through the Pyrennes.
Still good roads though, I agree the Alps/Pyrennes ranges are usually one of the most fun bits of trips, seeing the mountains getting bigger until they are looming in front of you is always exciting. |

Cheers kids, looks like that £269 is a good deal, will give em a ring see if i can get it slightly cheaper although i think im going when its half-term thus prices may be that bit higher.
Would love to go through the pyrenees but this is my first time riding abroad so i dont want to tour i just want to get to Mazarron in southern Spain as cheaply/quickly as possible on the bike.
Itchy im going to be cruising on the motorway for most of it in fuel saving mode |

Relax, I only remember using one toll road in 3000 miles of Spain on my trip last summer, that was the Costa Del Sol motorway in order to avoid the congested alternative.
Chances are that going to Murcia you won't have to use one, most Spanish motorways are free and if there is a toll road there's usually a reasonable alternative running parallel.
Spanish a-roads are very good and fast anyway, if they're more direct use them |
