I'm looking for advice re the journey from Santander to Foz do Arehlo at Easter. We're taking the ferry which lands in Santander on Weds afternoon 1st April - two days before Good Friday.
We intend to spend the first night at Cabarceno. We will be spending about six weeks away, but want to meet friends in Foz towards the end of the following week.
Via Michelin is showing three different routes - all of them mostly motorway, and never having been to inland Portugal, we've no idea which one to take.
The routes are E70-E80 via Salamanca, Guarda and Coimbra; E70, A52 via Leon, Chaves and Aveiro; andE70, A 66 via Salamaca and Caceres.
We don't mind travelling on motorways to get there, but we do want to see some of the country as well.
We like to take things fairly easily, preferring to drive for no more than 4 hours per day - preferably much less.
Looking at the map, some of the roads look frighteningly hilly! I'm very nervous of heights!
All and any advice about routes and potential stop-overs gratefully accepted.
Many thanks
Chris
