Using the N125 may cost you more in fuel than the tolls you are trying to avoid. It's very busy at this time of year, often stop start for a long time.

Can`t remember where the first toll gantry is but you would need to take the turn off the A22 heading for Vila Real de Santo Antonio to pick up the N125 to avoid all the tolls.
Watch for the fixed speed cameras on the A49 from Seville to the Portuguese border they do work and you get the speeding ticket sent to the UK....I know I was that soldier Big smile.
I thought like in Portugal a UK number plate would just not get recognised but in Spain it does.
We do not pull into the border patrol office when we enter Portugal we just keep going.

" Anyone got a rough idea of cost for tolls we would end up paying driving in from Seville to albufeira?

The toll calculator tells me that it is €5,30 from the International Bridge to the A2 / A22 junction north of Albufeira and from there to the western end of the A22 at Bensafrim €3,55

You can play with the calculator at http://www.portugaltolls.com/en/web/portal-de-portagens/home

I know there is a toll road from airport to albufeira that can be avoided.

Just wondering how much credit to get on a roll card as from what i understand we can purchase one using credit card and get what's left refunded.

We would probably have a trip to sagres and back one day.

Would 20 euros cover us? Or should I just do the 40 euros and claim back the remaining once back in Madrid?]]> Sun, 19 Aug 2018 20:10:03 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/some-general-questions-albufeira-algarve_topic9991_post105898.html#105898 <![CDATA[Some general questions Albufeira/Algarve : Algarveaddick wrote:Yes it...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/some-general-questions-albufeira-algarve_topic9991_post105731.html#105731 Author: tonisdad

We have extended 2 days now and staying till the Sunday rather than Friday now.

We are still round back of the old town near blue bell bar / Merlins Bar / Vila Recife hotel.

Are there any pools around there we can use? Don't mind using the beach but didn't know if there was anywhere we could use?

I may once of twice used the Oura Praia pool when i've been there but unlike previous times im not staying in Santa Eulalia area.

P.s thanks for the petrol tips, we will fill up just before we enter Portugal then and come in from Seville.

Am only there till Friday so i'll have to visit another time.

Also whats the preference is it to come down from the north of Portugal, or to drive across from Seville?
Seville definitely - cheaper fuel no tolls till you get to Portugal & empty motorways

james don`t leave yourself needing petrol in Portugal it is up to 20 cents litre cheaper in Spain.

Good tip, Paul. James, there's a filling station about 2km from the border in Spain.
