Hi I have read the messages below and yes via Madrid is best I have done the trip to both Bilbao and Santander and there is a road that bypasses Madrid and it is easy but can not remember the number I think it is a letter then 70 but could be wrong but long as you get that road and miss Madrid it...

... is easy  But sure ferries will not be running before June

Hi I think the road you may be referring to is the M50 around Madrid, which is the one I plan to use, and I am thinking that I will leave camposol around 3am aiming to get past Madrid by approx. 8am, this should leave me a reasonably pressure free journey to Bilbao. 

I will leave some feedback in the future when this has happened for future guidance either good or bad!!

Yes you ring a bell and certain it is the M50 and you should have no problem but 5 hrs may be bit tight but I suppose if yoiu not stopping may well be ok but I normally stop few times and allow about 8 hours but then that sometimes by motorbike and couple hours on the saddle at a time is enough for me

Good luck

Hi, we usually drive to Aranda Del Duero— approx 51/2 to 6 hours from Camposol- stay over at the Hotel Montemoso, just a few minutes off the motorway, very reasonable room rates, about €50 including restricted selection breakfast. They have a restaurant serving evening Del dia around € 15 and a small bar with light snacks. We have parked our well packed car there without any worries. From here it’s about 2 1/2 hours to Bilbao/ ferry. Hope this gives you another option. Jaz

Thanks Jaz, and all others who helped, will look into this and other suggestions.

Just need lockdowns to ease now.
