Re: Barcelona to Malaga , by hired car , May 2008
I reckon you could have easily got as far as Almeria without a further break and maybe even as far a Malaga that day.
Im not sure what you want to hear, is it a easy drive, yes,
Are you looking to do it in one hit though or is it a stop start journey with stays down the costas' ?

Re: Barcelona to Malaga , by hired car , May 2008
I suggest not just going A to B, there are a few towns that are worth stopping at or passing through along the way, in fact you could very easily turn it into a 4 or 5 day trip if you stopped in a few places like Sitges, Valencia, Benidorm, Alicante, Almeria, Sierra de Alamilla, Old film sets in Tabernas, Calahorra, Guadix, Granada (to name but a few) in between. Some of these places might not be as appealing as others but if you haven't been there and you are not in a rush then it would be a shame to just drive them by.

Re: Barcelona to Malaga , by hired car , May 2008
We have recently driven from Moraira, to La Manga, going by the N332, and returning by the Autoroute, the difference will not surprise anyone who has driven the coast roads of the Costa blanca, Costa Calida, It took 5 hours to get there, and just over 2 to get back,
The coast road takes you through villages, and small towns, with lots of places to stop for a drink and food, and if you havent seen Santa Pola/Torrevieja, etc, you might want to , just this once!! You will pay for each section of the motorway, but it really is cheap. a few euros each time. but not much to see, and only a few places to stop. I agree with the writer who said he would make a long journey of it, and stop in lots of little places, I really hope you enjoy your trip.

Are you looking to travel down as quickly as possible, or are you planning to take your time and do some sightseeing on the way?
