Traveling
to Spain - Spanish Residence
-
Of
course the most popular route is by aeroplane, as mostly the flights are
approx 2 to 2.5 hours, and can be purchased form various low-cost airlines
for approx £60 upwards. The two main airports that serve the Costa Blanca
and Costa Calida are Alicante and Murcia - Murcia currently is only a small
airport - but is currently being developed into a major international airport
to serve the increasingly popular (hot coast) Costa Calida
-
- There are trains to
Spain which travel directly to Barcelona and Madrid, thereon you can make
you way around the country using the internal railway system.
-
- The internal public
transport system is usually very good and the Spanish railway system (RENFE)
operates in most major cities, for the more rural destinations, it is worth
investigating before you make you journey if there is a rail service to
that area. It most cases the bus service (autobús) will be able to
transport you to these area
-
- Ferries are an option,
particularly if you want to travel with your own vehicle. Brittany and P
& O travel regularly to Santander and Bilbao. If you decide to travel
by ferry it can save a lot of driving time, costs for a car can range between
£150 to £300 one way, and does not include a cabin. Cabin's are available
from £30 and prices will depend on cabin size and class.
-
- Driving to Spain can
work out a lot cheaper than using a ferry - but is a tiresome journey as
usually this will take two days (including stop-over), and is fraught with
all the hassle of getting lost and driving through the foreign countries.
The major benefit of driving
in Spain is that they probably have the best motorways in Europe, but remember
a lot of these are toll roads and you will need to have some cash at hand.
