colinfrier Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Don't forget if you are running down the med coast of Spain it's tolls most of the way and the old road is ok but slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGD Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 If doing the A7 motorway (or the National road, that runs beside it) run down the Spanish Med coast past Barcelona, please please please try to build in a couple of days in Barcelona itself as part of your journey. Normally I'm not a huge fan of big cities, but Barcelona is just a fantastic place. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cronkle Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 BGD - 2009-01-09 3:40 PM Yep - several, just Google for them.....or if you have the 2009 ACSI card, the ones that take that discount card are in the ACSI book that comes with the card. And before you stop off at Barcelona another good place to see, if you have not already been there, would be Carcassonne. Both places are a comfortable days drive apart. The old city of Carcassonne is pure fairytale (Shrek actually) :-D . A must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
