Traveling by car from Granada to Barcelona

Hi,
We did a two month trip last autumn which involved driving down from North Italy to Andalucía and back, most of the time was spent in Andalucía. Here is some useful information about driving in Spain, it was the first time we had done such a long trip but it was all less stressful than I imagined. Let me know if you have some specific questions, I'm happy to help.

Not certain what type experience you’re looking for. Taking the coastal road takes much longer than taking the autopista/autovia (interstate), but you get to go through all the towns the interstate bypasses.

Spain drives on the same side of the road as in the U.S., so that isn’t an issue. Once you figure out the numbering system, the basic road numbering system is fairly easy to understand. Unfortunately, if you’re only there on vacation about the time you figure it out, vacation will be over.

Nick, the only road numbering I’ve yet to figure out is that odd 3rd letter on some very rural small roads, like LU-P-6010. LU=Lugo and 6010 is the road (4 digits tells me it’s an extremely rural road). It’s the P I can’t figure out.

Thanks everyone. Great tips!

We made that exact drive a few years back. Do stop in Valencia. We also enjoyed Tarragona. alicante was okay, but not as nice as the other two cities. Think about driving north of Barcelona to Cadaques and visit Dali's home. Well worth the time. Cadaques is a beautiful little village. Also, his museum in Figueres is a must see. The eastern most point of Cap de Crues is also beautiful. It was raining cats and dogs most of the ride up so we skipped some of the villages along the way
