this is just a personal opinion but i think the CL101 is the best driving road in spain, and here’s a random photo of me following Jimmy our irish driver on it the other week
and another photo of the road
sorry just random photos found on my camera 
will post some of my trip to uk next week for my holidays
Where abouts is that ?. I like that new road from Zaragoza down towards Teruel. I think they are probably just finishing the last bits about now.

as you head south on the AP15 from pamplona exit at km7 signed Madrid follow through cintruenigo(good food), agreda, olvega to almazan(very good truckstop in town). then head on N111 towards medinaceli for the A2 to madrid
best route from irun to madrid, less hills, less weighbridges or coppers and more places to park with good food and safe as houses.

Oh Dear 
you’re probably right there,Vascoingles.Stopped at Medinacelli a few times.Particularly liked the ‘No Thermo King’ sign in the parking area.Does that mean a Carrier is ok though?

unfortunately paul i have to agree with you except nowadays you see plenty of the flipflop and socks brigade but they thankfully don’t generally park in the restaurant parking prefering the trailer box and gas bottle cafe instead
most brits wouldn’t be seen dead eating that foreign rubbish anyway

Couldn’t agree more Vasco, although some of that foreign grub is rubbish
I was really disappointed with (I think it’s called) Flan Catalan.
I thought I was going to be presented with something unusual.
They gave me a creme caramel 
Any road that leads out of Spain is a good one in my opinion.

simple answer to that then
stay away
Your just lucky that you never got a “flan de la casa” then. It would of blown your socks off.
The “Creme” pudding sounds like the one the chef puts a bunson burner gas cooker to it to burn the brown sugar on top to make it crispy.

107 is ok for the truckwash but the food not so good and the parking is a bit quiet for my liking, try the big hotel at 103 security guard drives round in van at night always plenty uk drivers for a chat and the food very good, when you get the ticket to pay make sure the waiter puts C on it for camionero so you pay the cheaper rate not the car driver rate showers in the fuel station
alternatively try the one at km 73 called MAYPA repsol garage with parking, good new showers and cheap good food

I didn’t think there were enough Brits out there any more to be able to cause trouble, apart from on the Costa’s.
for some reason I tend to use that route more when coming home that going out, I don’t know why though
To welshboyinspain a bit late i know but i have just seen your reply. i always use this road when down that neck of the woods and love it. cant say i know about the truck stop in almazan. Got any more info and directions. cheers mate
i hope that the welshboyinspain is not an ex member of the cardiff soul crew. have worked with a lot of truck drivers from cardiff, who were mad bluebirds fans. ps good win today.
