Once you get away from package resorts and major city attractions
there are no tourists anyway! If you want to experience the landscape,
mountains, gorges, the meseta, villages, wildlife (lots of eagles) etc
theres no substitute for driving around on the (very quiet) smaller
roads. Maps tend to be less than perfect, we try to have two and
compare!
If it were me, i wouldnt drive Madrid to Barcelona, i would be looking
to drive in celtic Galicia or Extremadura and Andalucia, maybe
finishing up in Sevilla. But dont expect english in those sort of
places.
