![]() ![]() We decided to stay in Hotel San Francisco, which has a great pool, large bedroom, easy access to the beach and the greatest staff I’ve ever come across. As we arrived off season, we found a really nice 4* hotel in Salou with dinner and breakfast included in the price. This was an over 6-hour journey including all the stops, so as you can appreciate, we got pretty tired by the end. We made our way to Spain from Nimes, France, and decided not to stop in Barcelona since we’ve already been there before, but to stop in Salou, close to Tarragona. Once you pass them, you are back on those empty roads which are perfect for the road trip. ![]() The best part of our journey was when we drove right next to the Sierra Nevada, a beautiful National Park in Spain and home to Mulhacén, a peak which reaches 3489 m height.Īs you get closer to cities, you will notice that roads become busier sometimes even a little congested. I guess now you know where we are planning our next road trip. Spain is hot, sunny and certain parts during our Southern Spain itinerary made us think of the Death Valley in the US. For the most duration of our trip, the roads were pretty empty, which meant we can drive without having to continuously overtake lorries or other slow cars. The motorways in Spain are well maintained which makes the journey quite pleasant. Ensure your car is in great condition and will have no issues driving for long hours. For example, before driving to Spain, you need to do a bit of safety research. There are many things to know before visiting Spain. We stopped in Salou, Puerto de Mazarrón and Seville, before hitting the Algarve in Portugal. We knew in order to cross over to Portugal we are going to stop in Spain for at least 3 nights. We decided that the best driving route to Spain will be through the South. Our Spain - Portugal itinerary started in Hungary when we decided to embark on a long drive across Europe. It’s worth knowing that we crossed the country by following the coastal line. Who knew we are going to love our Southern Spain itinerary so much, that we would end up moving to Spain for a while? Driving to Spain turned out to be an adventure of a lifetime. ![]()
