2 days north of Barcelona

[Allyc85]

Currently weighing up my options for my time off in September, and one i'm considering is a few days down near Barcelona.

So I was wondering what are the best roads north of Barcelona for 2 days driving, finishing back on the coast in Sitges.

Any tips on car hire and experiences of the area also greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Anyone? I have downloaded the stage maps for the WRC rally, which could be fun

What do the routes look like? Can you post them up?

Near the top of the page there is a link to a google earth file.

Looks like some of those roads might be quiet good but others might be a bit more "off road". This is one that I took in June which was good after Girona but may not be where you want to go.

Ended up booking a flight to Nice, with a route looking like this, staying over in Briancon. Spain can wait till next year!

Might also do the Col de Turini and other surrounding roads on the Friday morning, depending on weather etc.

You need to add Col De Turini onto that route

I have done it before, but may head up from Menton for an early morning blast on the Friday

I did do the Col de Turini again, and the Col de Braus after too! Even in a Kia C'eed rental I had 2 and a bit amazing days, on the most stunning roads you will see, before lazing around on the beach in Menton. Love it down in the south of France
