Munich to Madrid by car
I am planning to purchase a new car in Munich in Sept/Oct and have it
shipped to the USA. This European Delivery Program allows you to get the car in Munich, and then have up to 2-weeks complimentary car insurance before dropping it off at any number of shipment points within the continent. One of them is Madrid. I am therefore, looking to spending one week, driving from Munich to Madrid with my wife. What I'm looking for is a recommended route, taking into consideration scenery, seasonal weather, and a week to do it in. |

What I'm looking for is a recommended route, taking into consideration scenery, seasonal weather, and a week to do it in. There are so many options depending on your interests. I enjoyed part of that possible route in a couple of different ways. A suggestion, based on my own wanders. Go south from Munich via the Fussen district, then around lake Constance and down into Switzerland, through Switzerland via Interlaken and Geneva and side trips between. Then through South-Eastern France, Lyon or Grenoble to the south to join the Riviera coast at any point you like, then along the Riviera to Barcelona, with side trips to the Avignon and Carcassonne regions. Then on to Madrid. Cheers, Alan, Australia -- http://loraltravel.blogspot.com/ latest: Cambodia http://loraltravel.blogspot.com/2008/03/cambodia.html |

However a time frame of ONE WEEK doesn't allow any deeper commitments but having a quick 30 minute peek on the zocalo of town. The shortest path (along major roads) from Munchen to Madrid is around 2000 kilometers. Close to this path are cities like Zurich, Geneva, Lyon, Nimes, Montpellier, Barcelona and Zaragoza. Naturally the end points en route are two most interesting large cities. |

Munich to Madrid by car
Following up to Alan S
then along the Riviera to Barcelona, the east coast isnt the best part of Spain for good driving, I would go along the north coast and then down to Madrid, although it will be much slower progress. -- "Mike....."(not "Mike") remove clothing to email |

Instead of Lyon, Grenoble, consider Annecy (passing through the Aravis moutain Grand Bornand, La Clusaz). From Carcassone go to Mirepoix (not far from Toulouse) and Foix and cross the Pyrenees in Andorra). If you have enough time wander through the Aragon spanish Pyrenees. http://www.lacannecy.com/ http://www.legrandbornand08.com/ http://www.laclusaz08.com/ http://www.tourisme-mirepoix.com/ http://www.tourisme.fr/tourist-office/foix.htm http://www.hotel-lons-foix.com/ http://www.ot-foix.fr/accueil.htm Then on to Madrid.
