Hi FG,

It's been a while since I last posted...but, I'll be travelling through southern Spain come late September/early October. Seeing as there are quite a few European FGers, I thought I'd reach out.

My current plan is a driving route from Valencia to Seville, with quite a few stops along the way over two weeks.

If anyone has some travel suggestions (sights to see...) or would be keen to catch up, I'd love to hear it!

I visited southern Spain in 2003 IIRC.

We flew to Madrid, then drove down to Fuengirola, a small touristy coastal town located between M?laga and Marbella, with a quick lunch break in Grenada. We didn't spent enough time in Grenada, but I think it's worth exploring.

From Fuengirola we did day trips throughout the week.

- 1 road trip to Ronda. Absolutely superb place, and the drive there was incredible.

Town of Ronda


- 1 road trip to Gibraltar, but we were turned away at the border, one of our party travelling on his UK-Hong Kong visa, which would have made him unable to re-enter Spain afterward. So we continued on to Tarifa, nice coastal town at the neck of the Atlantic and the Gibraltar Strait.

So Spain is where Cadillac and Ford used to go for vehicle names?
 
Road trip on CA-9104(?) the road between Zahara de la Sierra and Grazelama. You'll thank me later.

Ronda is a cool looking place because it's built right on a cliff side, but it's a bit touristy... for sheer beauty, Zahara is the "white town" (not referring to race, just th colour of the homes) to see. Absolutely stunning, and capped with a 10th century Moor tower.

Drink lots of sangria, just not before you drive ;)
