Hi, the drive down is easy, you can do it with one sleep about halfway, near the Pyrenees and stay in 'Quick Palace Anglet' where you pay by card at the machine by the door

But 1 sleep is very 'matchsticks'.... 2 or 3 stops is infinitely better. 

If you have a good tdi estate car, it is cheapest to fill up in Northern France nit Southern UK , one tank will get you to the Pyrenees and the second tank down to HO

Tunnel is cheapest and ferry crossings get rough this time of year

Longer crossings are best if it's ferry if you can sleep across the Channel 

If you set out from the Midlands or further North you really need a sleep across the channel or in Northern France. 

Crossing to Santander on Pont Aven is the best.... Sleep and cruise all the way across Biscay and very easy drive through Spain 

Ferries are very booked up though now, which makes it impossible to plan around the rough/windy crossings because you have to book well in advance

Hi All,

We are moving out to Huércal-Overa area in January 2022 and we are looking for some advice re: removal companies that you may have used or would recommend? 

We are considering sending a lot of the stuff we need but don't use frequently and can manage without immediately (Christmas, tools, garden furniture etc) with a removal company and driving with some of the more basic, important things ourselves just in case there are delays etc. Has anyone used Britannia Movers? 

Has anyone made the journey via France and tunnel to the Huércal-Overa area? Do you have idea on how long this took in reality? Where did you stay? (Really can't manage the boat as I get terribly sea sick lol) 

Any advice on companies to use (or avoid) and self drive much appreciated. 

Thanks

Ste

We used Mick at Indalo just last month.  Absolutely fantastic service.  Wouldn't hesitate in using them again.
