Several recommendations:

-It's a long way from Valencia to Bilbao- I would go from Valencia to Barcelona (straight up the coast- there is a toll highway) and then north west to Bilbao.


- Neither Malaga nor Almeria are the places to visit in Southern Spain (Seville, Cordoba and Granada are must sees) When going to Almeria try to make a detour and visit Granada.

- Drive defensively- there can be aggressive drivers around
Thanks for the recommendations. I am just going to Almeria for a one night (music festival) and staying in Marbella followed by a few days at Malaga. I will definitely look into going to Seville, Cordoba and Granada.

Also I was going to rent a Mini Cooper - do you think I should go bigger considering I will be hitting a lot of freeways??

Once again thanks Dude... I am very excited to finally visit Spain and my first F1 race at Valencia
