How long does it take to drive across Spain?
For this classic 5 day trip across the northern parts of Spain, the total driving time is about 8 hours and covers around 750km. If you rent a car, given this exact route, there are tolls on most of the highways so keep that in mind that it may be longer if you took non-tolled roads that may be more indirect.
What is the best way to travel through Spain?
If you plan on travelling through Spain for only 5 days, it’d be best to fly into one of the bigger cities as they are usually well connected with other European cities. Depending on your route, you can either take public transport if the travel times align with your plans or opt for a rental car if you would like more flexibility.
Do I need travel insurance when visiting Spain?
When visiting Spain you – and especially when renting a car – you should get travel insurance. While you’ll probably be fine, accidents do happen (and Spaniards are more reckless drivers that in other countries) and they can be expensive. That’s why we always travel with insurance.
