      Need help with itinerary for Barcelona/SanSebastian/BasqueCountry loop.

      Posted by: Judyb17 on Jul 3, 09 at 05:43 PM Posted in: Europe Tagged: Jump to last reply Flag this topic

      We're trying to plan a 14-day driving trip and would appreciate advice from anybody who may have driven these routes. We plan to rent a car in Barcelona and drive to Zaragoza for our 1st night. Then to San Sebastian (or is it better to stay in Hondarribia?) for 3 nights. On our way out of San Sebastian, we will explore the French border area and then take 2 and 1/2 days to get across France through Toulouse and down the coast to Figueres, where we would stay in the area for 2 nights. We will now have 4 and 1/2 days (5 nights) remaining for Barcelona where we will return our car as soon as we get to the city and use public transportation in the city.
      We have not made hotel reservations yet - would really like to hear favorite small hotels or pensiones and restaurants in any of these places. Also, do the driving times seem realistic? How are the roads - should we take the tollways or the "scenic" back roads? Any advice on these areas will be really appreciated -- thanks.
