👍Have done that journey a few times now,seems to work out better than the ferry from Bilbao/Santander.That would be ok but they insist that you have a cabin and that puts a 100 euros plus on the trip.By the time you mess about on the ferry you can have done plenty of miles/ kilometres up throu...

Hi

We are looking at doing exactly the same next Wednesday, our apartment is going into summer rates which are 4 times the cost. We have had 2 ferry cancellations. We are going to drive to Bilbao and try and get a repatriation ferry, I have waited 8 days so far for a reply to my request from Brittan...

This is the last page where you fill in your short message and must give your booking ref.    Good luck.

Hi

For me the Portsmouth/Bilbao ferry is the best option. I've done both the drive to Calais and the P/B ferry a number of times now. There is almost nothing in the cost by the time you put the fuel, tolls and a night in a hotel ( and the Calais/Dover ferry ) into the equation. If anything the ferry...

We prefer the Santander or Bilbao route but we have a dog and finding a  'pet friendly'  cabin on a ferry is almost impossible. The kennels are awful and distressing for dogs and owners.
We are crossing to Dieppe and staying in Bordeaux overnight this time.
Any suggestion o...

We appear to have two options , through Zaragoza (East) or Burgos to the West.

Many suggest the longer (time & miles) western route, why would this be?
