Driving around the SE coast of Spain

August 2001

Simon, Mark and I hired a car while in Granada as we wanted to drive around the coast of south east Spain, partly to get to Barcelona quickly, and also so we could 'town hop' to where-ever we liked. We stopped in a range of townships, villages and cities along the way.

One of the things that amazed us was the Spanish capacity for partying (...even though we are pretty good as well!); we saw traffic jams at 3am on major highways- just to get to the nightclubs!!!! Needless to say, there were a few sleepless nights during this time.

  • Alicante
  • Night throngs in Benedorm
  • Lunch in Tarragona
  • Drive to Sitges and sleep on beach
