REVEALED: When the AP-7 toll road between Estepona and Malaga will be free (and it’s not good news)

Brussels gives Spain an ultimatum over its toll roads

SEVERAL toll roads have become free from January 1 2020. 

This includes the AP-4 motorway between Sevilla and Cadiz and the AP-7 motorway between Tarragona, Valencia and Alicante.

It comes after private toll company Abertis signed a severance package (ERE) for some 136 workers with Spain’s traffic body UGT and USO.

But the lifting of charges has not extended to the AP-7 between Malaga and Estepona, perhaps one of the most used by British expats in Spain.

The route, spanning 82km, comes at a hefty price in peak season, costing travellers €12.60, with another €3.30 added for the extra 20km up to Guadiaro, in the Campo de Gibraltar.

This toll is set to remain in place until 2054, according to local paper AZ.
