|---|---|
 BY CAR. Going
to Playa Albir by car is a good possibility. From Eindhoven you have to
drive about 1900 kilometres. The fastest way to get to Albir by car is
through the highway. The straight route through the highway is:
Luxemburg, Metz, Nancy , Dyon, Lyon, Orange, Narbonne until Perpignan
and Spanish border. The route by car is then going through Barcelona,
Salou, Valencia direction Alicante. About 50 km before Alicante you are
leaving the highway at Altea (exit 64) . From Altea it is 5 km to Playa
Albir. A good advice is to take your time and plan the trip in at least
two days. Along this route there are many bed and breakfast hotels,
where you can stay and rest for the night and go on fit the next morning.
A few good and cheap hotels for example along the French highway are Formule
1 and Etap. For any
further
information about the hotels you can go to
www.etaphotel.com
and www.hotelformule1.com
. In France and Spain are these highways not for free. You have to pay
for a single route about 100 euro for toll. Be aware of the so called
Black Saturdays in the high season because there will be many
traffic-jams on the highway. It is also
possible to get to Albir through other routes as an alternative. The
national ways in France and Spain are in good condition. When you take
the inland route to the Costa Blanca you have to take into account that
you are driving for three days. Preferable is not to take the
alternative way along the Spanish coast because there are many Spanish
trucks driving. It is better to choose a route through the inland of
Spain. This route has also enough hotels to stay one night and to take
some rest for mind and body.
BY BUS. A cheap
alternative is to travel by bus. Different tour operators are offering
you the possibility to go to the Costa Blanca by bus without
accommodation to stay the night over. Mostly are these buses royal class
and very comfortable. A few good examples of those tour operators are Solmar
tours and Snoeyink. For any further
information see the websites www.solmar.nl
and www.snoeyink.nl
. The buses are leaving on Friday afternoon and will be there on
Saturday afternoon. There are no stops to get off in Playa Albir but
there is a main stop in Benidorm and at that place you can take a taxi
to your final destination (about 6 km). Depending on the circumstances of the season is the
price for a return ticket about 140,- euro per person. BY AIR. The
fastest way to go to Playa Albir is to take a 2-hour flight to Alicante.
