The AP-68 Zaragoza-Bilbao tops the list of the most expensive tolls in all of Spain
The from summer to spain translates into a vacation period for many people who decide to disconnect from work and the city to hit the road towards their vacation spot. The DGT forecasts around 6.9 million trips by road from Friday to Monday in the well-known ‘August 1 departure’. This figure will increase to 49 million if the estimates of the movements that will take place throughout the month are taken into account. It should be remembered that we are in a context of inflation where the fuel price nothing to do compared to last year.
In this scenario, the most far-sighted decide to plan their trip taking into account issues such as possible trips that we can find on the road or what is the shortest route to save a few euros on gasoline. The road network has several sections with tolls and one of the most expensive starts in Zaragoza.
The AP-68 Zaragoza-Bilbao, the most expensive motorway in Spain
The Ebro Highway, which connects Zaragoza with Bilbao under the AP-68 number, is the most expensive toll road in Spain and the fourth in Europe, with a average cost of 32.72 euros to travel its 295 kilometers. Only the highways that link Paris and Marseille, Milan and Naples and Bodo and Oslo are more expensive than the Spanish one, with costs of 58, 56 and 50 euros, respectively, according to data collected in a report by the British parent company of Northgate Renting Flexible.
Even though the AP-68 Zaragoza-Bilbao is the most expensive motorway in Spain, if we calculate its price based on the cents that each kilometer costs, it comes out to almost 11 cents the price for each section. However, on the AP-6 road that connects Collado Villalba with Adanero and which is the connection with the AP-51 or the AP-61 of Segovia or Ávila, we will pay 21 cents per kilometer. Traveling its 62 kilometers will cost us 13.35 euros.
