Hi Billy
Salamanca to Seville is motorway (no tolls)all the way . Light traffic every time we've used it (10 times). Service areas are not all by roadside - some are in nearby towns so best not too get too low on fuel]]> Fri, 22 Apr 2016 15:58:01 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/driving-to-the-algarve_topic9367_post97044.html#97044 <![CDATA[Driving to the algarve : So did you use the road from Salamanca...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/driving-to-the-algarve_topic9367_post97043.html#97043 Author: Billy161

The roads from Calais al the way to Albufeira via Bayonne Salamanca etc are all either motorway or dual carriageway. We averaged 72mph back to UK last summer and 70 mph back here a few weeks later. The roads are smooth and generally empty. Incidently I went to the Alentejo this week near Beja - the road surfaces reminded me of my home county of Bedfordshire ( and that is not a compliment) - potholes galore!! ]]> Fri, 22 Apr 2016 14:35:26 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/driving-to-the-algarve_topic9367_post97040.html#97040 <![CDATA[Driving to the algarve : 9.22hrs according to viamichelin.comI&#039;d...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/driving-to-the-algarve_topic9367_post97022.html#97022 Author: wendyhsmith

9.22hrs according to viamichelin.com
I'd say that's about right, you might do it quicker if you are a fast driver. lol
The roads are very good.  Paste the link below and you'll see it.

Well it takes about 5 and a quarter hours to get from Portimao to Torremolinos, with a short break, but that is dual carriageway all the way. No idea what the roads are like from Plasencia Billy? ]]> Wed, 20 Apr 2016 11:53:10 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/driving-to-the-algarve_topic9367_post96986.html#96986 <![CDATA[Driving to the algarve : I think looking at all the different...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/driving-to-the-algarve_topic9367_post96985.html#96985 Author: Billy161

We are driving down from Santander too on the 27th April and I've already decided the the route via Seville is the best option,we'll pay the toll from the border to albufeira at the post office a few days after,but we don't ordinarily use the tolls but will pay just to keep things legal   Smile

Now I'm very confused so coming from the sevillevdirection haveing come down the A22 I just drive on the toll road and come off at my designated turn off and don't bother stopping to pay anything.after that until I go home a month later I won't be useing a toll road for the month I'm here.so if no one does anything it seems I just don't bother paying]]> Fri, 15 Apr 2016 15:31:28 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/driving-to-the-algarve_topic9367_post96859.html#96859 <![CDATA[Driving to the algarve : Andrew wrote:Does anyone actually...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/driving-to-the-algarve_topic9367_post96858.html#96858 Author: Algarveaddick

We went to Post Office and paid for two trips in a hire car, they had about twenty other none paid against the same vehicle, before we had it, in fact going back over a year, they shrugged shoulders and said nothing would be done about it. That was a Portuguese registered hire car so wouldn't be too difficult to pursue.


No mate, not heard of it happening to anyone. ]]> Fri, 15 Apr 2016 14:25:03 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/driving-to-the-algarve_topic9367_post96858.html#96858
