Hi  have managed to get a few days hol in  December ,and flying into Barcelona (Easyjet)could you give some advise on best places to get on /off A7 to avoid the highest tolls as a every cent counts. Also how do you all pay for your flights, do you have Electron cards or do you stump up the £20.00 add on charge ?
Thanks in advance
Phil

Thanks Nigel
I have been stung with the  tunnels tolls you mentioned before,so know about these,read a post last year were the forum member left the AP7 at various junctions then rejoined ,last time I was down at the finca was in February this year, and with the petrol and tolls it was a expensive day out from Barcelona £70 ish  I realise there is the N11 which I could use further down but it is just too slow !!
I dont know the exact miles,400+km, but drove from above Barcelona across the pyrenees, to the Val d Boi this summer on the new uprated free A2, and only paid less than 10 euros there and back and these tolls were comming into Barcelona.
Is it just that I am a tight Yorkshire Man !

When you leave Barcelona [heading to Tarragonna] on the C31 Road, do not join the C32 Motorway, the part with the mindbogglingly expansive tunnels, keep on the C32 to Sitges, great winding scenic coast road, takes just a few minutes longer, join the C32 Motorway as you get to Sitges, miss the big Tolls, very easy to do... the sea is in the way, so you cant really get it wrong....


For those who have not yet found it, the free A7 is now running from Vandellos all the way up to Tarragonna, free, empty.... more exits, much easier to get to the commercial center in Tarragonna, you come off the turn at Boavista. The A7 is the toll free replacement to the AP7. Watch the signs, some places you need to get onto the separate side lane a while before the turn.

Thanks Pongirl for the advise ,I have a account with the BBV in Tortosa which I never use ,so next time in Tortosa I will "try" and close this account, I dont speak Spanish so this has always been a struggle there,which La caixia do you use, and do they speak any english ? also how much do they charge for the account/card. Soooo sorry for all the questions.
And thanks again
