Unless you want to make some stops on the way, there is no reason to drive. If you decide to do so, here are two possible itineraries:

• Using a combination of the AP-7 and A-4 highways, you can continue from Barcelona along the Mediterranean coast, all the way down to Valencia. There are many coastal towns and cities that would make a great stop: Sitges, Tarragona, Peñíscola or Valencia, just to mention a few. From Valencia, the road continues across Spain’s interior (Castilla la Mancha). About 1 hour before reaching Seville, you will also pass Cordoba, which would be another great stop in the journey.
• Cross through Spain’s interior using a combination of the A-2 and A-5 highways. Again, there are many interesting cities and towns along the way that would make great stops, such as Zaragoza, Madrid and Mérida.
