Last year we drove the Julian Alps Slovenia drive as outlined by RS.
Does RS have a similar tour for any part of Spain or Portugal?
If a drive tour is outline in either of his new editions on Spain or Portugal please provide the page number.
Thanks

No similarly detailed scenic drive instructions in these books. Most chapters have brief driving notes and the chapters for the Duoro Valley of Portugal or Basque, Camino, and White Hill Towns in Spain would be most relevant for scenic driving. Rick doesn't really cover the Pyrenees mountains (for instance) and also a few years ago eliminated a short chapter on the Picos de Europa mountains, which highlighted the town of Potes, Fuente De Cable Car, and Cares Gorge.

Hi allintom, consider picking up this guidebook:
https://www.amazon.com/Roads-Spain-Eyewitness-Travel-Guide/dp/1465440437/ref=pdlposbs14t0?encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RYE5DRSZFRC69X5947TW
I came across it at a book store here in the states and it's really great. I bought it for myself, even though I am from Spain, it has a lot of detailed information I did not even know.

Thank you both for the information. I will follow up with what you have provided me (& others who check in on my question).
