Travel wisely: Remember your travel documents, such as the green card, the travel and credit letter from the ANWB (for the Netherlands) and leave your holiday address for those staying at home.
Hotels: You can book your hotel from the Netherlands or Belgium and of course there are several good hotels along the motorway where you can spend the night comfortably.

Calling: Once you have arrived near Alicante, we ask you to call the telephone number of the relevant manager of your holiday home, so that he/she can welcome you on site.
Route planner: With a route planner it is very easy to choose the right route. Print the route and also one for the return journey of course! Google Maps is by far the best navigation in Spain.
Parking at the airport of departure
If you are travelling by plane, you will of course also need to reach the airport of departure. If you want to do this by car, it is wise to reserve a parking space in advance. Not only will this ensure you a parking space, the online rates can also be more advantageous.
Via the online platform Vliegen en Parkeren you can compare the parking offers at airports and reserve the desired parking space. For example, are you looking for a Schiphol Airport parking ?
