VACATIONS

If you ever want to take a road trip in Europe, Spain is one of the best places to go. On these well-kept roads, you can travel between large cities and discover hidden gems.
Visit foodie spots like San Sebastian and the Rioja wine region or artist hubs like Malaga and Figueres. The landscapes in Picos de Europa, Extremadura, and Mallorca are amazing.
There are many road trip possibilities, so prioritize what you like. For mild temperatures, head to the northern coast, and for Moorish architecture, go from Seville to Granada.
One of the most popular Spanish road trips is hopping between towns in the Andalusia region. Most travel between Seville, Cordoba, and Granada, exploring tiny villages.
The Costa Brava is great for sun-seekers. Tucked in the Catalonia region of Spain, most road-trippers start in Barcelona before making their way north along the coast.
