The German AutoBahn is more exciting with speeds exceeding 180km/h and their rest rooms might include toilet seats, but the French and Spanish countryside is more beautiful to drive through.
Draw a line from Strasburg to Belceon to Bordeaux to Biarritz and you have crossed the country west to south east through ever changing countryside so lovely you’ll want to do it again. Spectacular bridges and ravines, castles and villages, verdant green valleys, white cows and well maintained roads all come together to make it thoroughly enjoyable. Take a detour off the main highways and you find yourself travelling through farmlands and tiny villages with cobbled streets, sleepy squares and gorgeous architecture – you might even find yourself driving through the grounds of a castle.
The north coast of Spain, from the border near San Sebastion west across to Gijon is nothing short of spectacular. The road is rarely straight, the tunnels are up to 1.5kms long, the bridges over ravines are spectacular and the mountains are on all sides, except for where there is a cliff side run along the ocean. The mountains to the south tower into the sky and change shape continually. The little towns are either nestled in valleys or hug the coastline. The entire stretch of coast is a feast for the eyes magnificent driving experience.
