Gorgeous architecture, scenic landscapes, and passionate traditions and cultures are what make Spain a famous destination. But with all its offerings, it can be tricky to pinpoint exactly where to go.
This is why a road trip is the best way to see most of the country. So, the next time you visit, use this ultimate Spain road trip itinerary to experience Spanish life at its finest.
Barcelona

The best spot to embark on your Spain road trip is none other than the lively city of Barcelona. You can spend a minimum of three days here to see the highlights.
Zaragoza

It will take three hours to drive to Zaragoza from Barcelona. Zaragoza is located in the heart of northern Spain and is a great stop for a short walk and lunch.
Sos del Rey Catรณlico

Sos is the epitome of an archetypal Spanish town, located another 1.5 hours drive just north of Zaragoza. Sos del Rey Catรณlico is packed with charm and filled with history.
Pamplona

Break your journey by grabbing a bite for lunch in Pamplona, where you can get your first taste of the acclaimed Basque Country tapas.
San Sebastiรกn

Aside from visiting the pintxos bars in San Sebastiรกn, make sure you also go for a quick stroll along the waterfront promenade to refuel and stretch your legs after a long drive.
Bilbao

San Sebastiรกn and Bilbao are just an hourโs drive apart. The main attractions of Bilbao are the futuristic Guggenheim Museum and some of the key filming locations for Game of Thrones.
Segovia

Now that you have been introduced to Basque Country, you can leave the coast and drive inland to Madrid. Segovia is just 100km shy of the capital city of Spain, where you can see some of the most impressive historical sights of Central Spain.
Madrid

Once you get to Madrid, you will be welcomed with so many things to do. Some of the most notable attractions are the Real Jardin Botanico, Cuesta del Moyano, Temple of Debod, Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas, the Plaza Major, the Prado Museum, and the Royal Palace.
Toledo

After you leave Madrid, you can start your trip to the magical Andalusia region of southern Spain. Toledo is a salve to the capitalโs chaos with its mix of multicultural influences, literary heritage, and old-world charm.
Consuegra, La Mancha

Stop at one of Consuegraโs provincial bakeries to grab a quick bite and admire the patchwork fields and towering windmills.
Valencia

Valencia strikes the perfect balance of Madridโs amenities with Barcelonaโs charm in a laidback beach town atmosphere.
Cartagena

Another underrated Spanish city, Cartagena is a sleepy historic center where you can find a Roman amphitheater that is one of Europeโs best-preserved ones.
The Sierra Nevada and the White Villages

The Sierra Nevada is one of the most scenic natural landscapes in Spain, where you will see the Las Alpujarras region, Lanjarรณn, and the smaller villages of Capileira, Bubio, and Pampaneira. Your driving itinerary can also include the highest settlement in Spain, Trevรฉlez, if you can conquer the heights.
Granada

Not adding the architectural triumph of the Alhambra to your itinerary will only make your Spain road trip futile.
Cรณrdoba

The archetypal Andalusian city of Cordoba is home to the Mezquita, the stunning mosque-cum-church famous for its much-photographed archways that look like candy canes.
Seville

Finish your Spain road trip by spending your day in the Alcazar complex of Seville, which mirrors the design and layout of the Alhambra.
