My wife and I are travelling out mid February. We are travelling by car, from Bilbao to Gandia, on the Costa Blanca, to stay with friends there. What I would like to know, is if there are any recommendations for stopovers on this route? We plan to spend a couple of weeks with our friends, and have three weeks available to us, so have time to do a bit of exploring on the way there, and back to the ferry port. Any recommendations would be most welcome!
