how's the driving like? did you drive between cities?

 

I have driven on the right before in US and Taiwan but not in Europe, will be my first time  [laugh]

 

No problemo with driving in Spain or france for that matter, or UK.

And Italy last year was OK as well.

 

But this year in Italy around Milan, Como and Liguria was a bit of a trial with no speed limit signs poor road signage anyway and lousy road layout in the towns.

 

Just trying to think of must go places in Southern Spain.

Well the 4 meter dia Paella cooked over a wood fire near the beach in Nerja was good.

 

We found the Alcazar Palace complex in Seville much more impressive than the Alhambra Palace in Granada.  But Granada has a lot of ski stations open just outside the city in December so if you ski ...

 

You shouldn't miss a drive up to the white villages but beware the streets are narrow and windy.

And the Christmas Day lottery generates a lot of fun.

 

Not sure if the border across to Gibraltar is still open, check first because you can get nearly up to the top of the rock.

Hi,

We am planning family road trip from Netherlands to Germany and Switzerland during this June holiday. In Germany we will be staying at our friend place (near Munich). We will rent SUV from Amsterdam  to Munich and Zurich then back to Amsterdam. Everyone care, share and advice will be appreciated.

We did that with SUV Turbo diesel as it jus fit for our huge luggage for tens day road trip. Still very steady at 180 Km/h on autobahn.post-167114-0-22380700-1529466185_thumb.jpgpost-167114-0-61121100-1529466197_thumb.jpg

I am going to visit Germany, Austria and some part of Italy, mostly not in big cities. It will be long road trip. Do you think, it should matter if I should choose sedan vs SUV ?  Both are coming to very close cost.

 You should get estate/station wagon if your stuff and luggage are fit in enough.

We were in Milan, Liguria and Como recently and hired a Peugot 208 which was OK for the two of us and we needed it for the narrow roads and to make parking easier.
