Ah, the old and classic road trip…

It’s a sacred and hallowed institution for many criminals, deadbeats, and backpackers and Xtreme Gappers. As many of our best days have been those shared on the road. Sleeping on the car, in the ground, over a shoulder, on your pants, yessir, even the pants you were just wearing. Pants as a pillow, travelling just like Don Quixote de la Mancha.

Don’t worry about driving, don’t worry about rules, and don’t worry about pants, because it’s hot in the middle of Spain.

For those who bemoan the current trend of crappy budget flights, rigid train authorities or for those who just miss old school travel or moving within any country with misquoted timetables, inconvenient rail tracks and long routes with which to transport goods and materials.

Or just for those who’ve just never got on the road and seen the best of the Iberian Peninsula, wipe those teary eyes and prepare to get them bloodshot through dust, wind, sangria and asphalt. Sounds great? It is.

With that in mind we have 5 new Spanish and Portuguese road trips this year, slapping together our best Summer festivals and our favourite cities.

5 options, all starting in Barcelona and hitting San Sebastian, Granada, Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia. 4 options include the awesome country of Portugal, which Spain always wished they had, because holy inquisition is it pretty. Options for Malaga, Porto, Ibiza, Lagos and all sorts are available (see below).

With types of tours around every city, both partying and cultural, this is your greatest option to spend three weeks hot, sweaty, dazed, damaged and confused. It’s a liberating thought that will excite you (and us) from now until then, it’s a bit of adventure through heat, festivals, beaches and new cities. It’ll be amazing.

Come on one of our road trips, if only to check the maps, change the music, and clean the windshield.
