Day 3. January 19. Finish: Sangonera La Seca (Spain) near Murcia. Daily drive: 1121km.
This will be the longest stage of the B2B. You should wake up and leave as early as possible. Be ready for this day. You're looking at an 8-14 hour drive. You should be well rested. Don't party too much in France.
What you have to pay attention to in the morning is not running out of gas. For some strange reason, there are very few gas stations on the first leg of the drive. You can drive 100km without seeing one. So fill up whenever you have a chance.
If you have an extra hour or two, visit Montserrat near Barcelone or take some time and drive on the beach.
The official finish is in Sangonera La Seca, which is 15 km from Murcia. You can sleep in bungalows or set up your tent. The place is pretty crappy, but it's conveniently located and it's a great place to party and meet other teams. Try making new friends because you might have to share a bungalow with some other people. Last year there were 8-10 people in a 6 person bungalow. The staff are pretty rude and they have a tendency to shut the gates after 11pm. If you'd like something more comfortable, think about staying in Murcia. Alternatively, there's a big yearround nudist camp 60km south from Murcia. If you're up for another 30-45 minutes of driving and some nudity, check out the scene at Camping Portus.
