Uk to Spain.
Me when I go down. I alway's ride down doing the crossing at Dover and either camp or hotel's on the way.
Now the question is. Why take a ferry from Southampton the Spain, or from where ever they leave. Against the ride down from Dover. Cost is one thing. The last time I looked. The ferry from the UK was leavening late at night. Only to drop you off 24 hour's later in Spain. So the first thing you are looking for is a bed for the night. To carry on in the morning.
With an early morning start from Calais. Plan a 400 mile day. Will get you to Poitiers. Another 400 miles the next day. Will get you well in to Spain. By over a hundred mile's. Places you can get to are either Tudela or Burgos. From there Spain is your oyster.
The cost of traveling through France is less than the ferry price. And you are stuck on a boat for a day. You have to buy at their price's. Ride down, you can pick and choice what you buy. A bike trip is a bike trip. Not a boat cruse.
So tell me what way you go. When you travel?
