Driving in Quesada

Postby Bunty » Thu Sep 15, 2016 10:34 am

Hi all you lucky people living in Quesada.
I am from u.k and have been to Quesada several times, really love the area.
I am scheduled for another visit there in next few weeks only this time I have to drive from the airport to the place I am staying, approx 45 minutes away, so I am told.
I hate driving in Spain, left hand drive......right hand side of the road......don't think I'll ever get used to it.
Although I have sat nav and clear instructions on how to get to my destination can you tell me if the journey from the airport is easy........or not ?
I have drove in Spain before but only short distances........furthest from villa to lidless and back lol but this time I am a little nervous to say the least.
Any kind comments / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Bunty

It´s a very easy drive from the airport. Probably best if you use the motorway if you are nervous, it´s a fair bit further than using the N332 but you will find it easier, in my opinion. Relax, listen to the SatNav and 45 minutes later you´ll be in Quesada, don´t worry.

Hey thanks for replying.
I have been told the motorway is the best way, so that's what I'll be doing.
Cheers!

It really is an easy drive either on the AP-7 motorway or the N-332.
The advantage of the motorway is that you can drive at a speed that is comfortable to you until you are
used to driving on the 'wrong side'. Other vehicles are able to overtake in the other two lanes. On the N-332
you will probably get inconsiderate tailgaters who will want to be doing 100 kph through the 60 zones. Just relax
and drive. Easy peasy.

The motorway is easiest if you are nervous, just make sure you follow the signs initially for Murcia until you are on the motorway, then at Elche look for and take the AP7 split towards Cartagena. Take the exit from the AP7 for Torrevieja Norte, then at the roundabout take 4th exit to Torre North, and this will take you to the Arches.
Remember your lane discipline and keep to speed limits and you will be fine. You will soon realise that driving on the right is as easy if not easier than driving on the left. Good luck and enjoy the new skill you will learn.

Just listen to your SatNav!!!
The road does not split at Elche, it splits after the Crevillente turnoff and is clearly signposted but let you SatNav take you.

Are there any tolls on route from Alicante to Quesada?
Usually do the N332 which is quite scenic and an easy drive as well.
