The route country by country

If you would rather avoid Paris, you can also drive to Lyon via Luxembourg and eastern France; from Lyon on, the route is the same. Note that the A6/A7 past Lyon lies outside the Lyon low-emission zone; you need a Crit’Air sticker only if you leave the motorway there and head into the city. That, and other preparations such as tolls and overnight stops, is covered on the page by car to Moraira.

The last stretch to Calamora

After exit 63 off the AP-7 you follow the N-332 and then the CV-740 to Moraira.

• In Moraira, follow the signs for the centre until you reach the roundabout with the large olive tree.
• Coming from the Benissa/Teulada exit, take the 4th turning off this roundabout.
• Immediately after it, on your right, is the entrance to the Calamora apartment complex at Avenida de Madrid 24, just left of Hispania.
• Parking is free across the street.

From Alicante or Valencia airport

If you fly in and hire a car, the route is shorter and simpler:

• From Alicante-Elche (about 95 km, a little over an hour): follow the AP-7 towards Valencia to exit 63 Benissa/Teulada.
• From Valencia (about 130 km, roughly 1.5 hours): take the V-30 to the AP-7 towards Alicante and, again, exit 63.

From that exit you follow the same final stretch as above. There is more about both airports on flying to Moraira; if you want to hire a car, see car hire in Moraira.

Breaking the journey

At around 2,000 kilometres, one overnight stop is usual, normally in southern France — in the Rhône valley between Lyon and Orange, for instance. Suggestions for that stop are on the page about the drive down. The Spanish part of the AP-7, from the border at La Jonquera all the way to Alicante, is now toll-free.
