We are thinking about taking a driving trip around Spain, perhaps next year. Perhaps renting a car in Madrid and driving around for 2-3 weeks. Rental prices seem to be outrageous, at about $680 a week for an economy car, though we did find a deal through AARP for closer to $400 a week. Thinking about staying in Paradores, using one or two five-day passes. I would not mind seeing Avila, Granada, Valencia and Sevilla and maybe making it up to San Sebastian for a couple of days for the food. Maybe go back to my old college stomping grounds in Salamanca.
But we're still in the early planning stages, and I'd love to hear input from anyone who has done or planned such a trip. Any tips/advice?
P.S. - We've been to Madrid, Barcelona and Toledo before, so (other than a 3-day planned stay in Madrid to revisit some favorites) we were looking for some other places. I don't think we'll be there for "running of the bulls" time in July (and I've done that before, anyway), so I don't think that it's worth an out-of-the-way trip to Pamplona.
