On or Off Airport?

The most popular resorts usually involve flying to Alicante, Valencia. Madrid, Murcia airports. Some will have a desk located in arrival hall and others may offer a meet and greet service outside arrivals or at a specified meeting point. The website clearly shows which, so get a quote today.

One ways

Most suppliers allow you to do a one way, but this will incur a fee, which is included in the rental cost, making a Madrid to Malaga coastal drive a reality, but Gerona to Gibraltar would mean leaving the car on Spanish mainland in La Linea,before popping across the Rock airport runway to get your flight.

Travelling around Spain

Madrid is the capital and the biggest city with twice the number of people of Barcelona, the next biggest. About forty seven million live in Spain. In some locations, you can ski in the morning and sun bathe in the afternoon.

You can also run with bulls and get pelted with tomatoes. For the latest on what going on in Spain, go to the website of the Spain Tourist Board. As the website will show, Spain has a lot more to offer than sunny beaches and the Costas.

It rivals France in terms of good wine and exquisite foods. Discover the Asturias, with mountain ranges and a climate similar to Scotland.
