Spain to Cuerta
 

Hi
Anyone taken the Sat eve Portsmouth to Bilbao ferry lately? Is it still running etc? We will be leaving the UK on the 24th of April and will be travelling through to Cuerta to start our safari. Any tips/warnings on anything between the UK and the far side of the Moroccan border post?

Just got off the phone from P&O and they quote £351 one way for two adults and a 2-2.5m 4x4.
Anything cheaper out there?

Your quote sounds pretty reasonable to me and it certainly gets you south with minimal hassle.

If you have time on your hands then you could take the Euro Tunnel which will be cheaper and the drive through France is beautiful if you stay off the auto routes.

That quote only holds until 1st March and then it jumps by about £50.

£351 sounds right, I'm off to Morocco in Oct for 6 weeks with a range rover and best I can get for a return is £624. Plymouth/Santander is cheaper but only if you have just a reclining chair! Driving thru France wont cut too many costs and knacker the driver i reckon, so P+O win all round really. Worth saying that prices are higher obviously for summer, but Sept is fiesta season in Spain. Prices drop in Oct.

fuel up with as much as you can carry in cueta. Its the cheapest by miles until western sahara

Apri 24th? Three of us are doing that ferry journey on bikes, then riding through spain and doing a week around Morocco. if you are still on for the same ferry come and say hello

(I'm on a silver fazer 600, mate on a red one, and a silver KTM)

Missed that window and am trying for May 1st so might see you in Maroc. Anyway - looking at the Plymouth to Santander ferry now - will ring P&O tomorrow.
Cheers
