Re: France to Spain to Mallorca and back again!
For the ferry, I booked online direct here Might save you a couple of quid. Also to think about is you could always mix up the ferries as IIRC it's about the same price/time (8hrs) to take the ferry to/from Valencia one way and Barcelona the other....
@Ogden, Nice write up, looking forward to reading more as I'm thinking of a route up that way for my next trip. Last edited by chilli; 27-01-12 at 10:11 AM. |

Re: France to Spain to Mallorca and back again!
as an option LD lines have fold flat seats ( like the bussiness class airplane seats) on that route ( as long as the right boat is on) for about a £10
and the ride out of le havre through the little underpasses and over that bridge is a great start to a hoilday and one that i shall be doing to get to the west coast in August though the route that Via michelin gives to get south doesnt go over the Pont de Normandie it goes over the Pont De tancaville ( about 3 miles futher up river looks a bit like a small severn bridge) |

Re: France to Spain to Mallorca and back again!
The Pont de Tancaville is more direct which is probably why the route sends you that way. The roads are a bit more fun that way to. I used this route as a way to head north and then went to ride the Pont de Normandie as a 'stunt', turned round and rode it the other way to carry on

Re: France to Spain to Mallorca and back again!
The route that the P2P guys are doing could be adapted quite well if you fancied comming back via Valencia

Re: France to Spain to Mallorca and back again!
Ld lines have a tendency to change ships if you end up on the Norman spirit Or the cote de albertere then they'll have them

Re: France to Spain to Mallorca and back again!
DFDS are now using the Norman Spirit on the Dover Dunkirk route. Maybe will change, but at the moment it's the Norman Spirit, so I doubt we can book those seats if the planned ferry doesn't have them.

I thought there were no toll roads in Spain? Bad info from elsewhere so thanks for the heads up. The Michelin site should give me a rough idea and I'll try and avoid some of these roads if possible. Quote:
