After a great week in Spain April last year, when I was advised by a convincing majority to take the Scud rather than the 911, my brother and I are off again in the Scud. It was so good last year with great roads and weather we are off again via Bilbao on 20 April. I was particularly poor on the photos last year but will make up for it this year with a proper route and photo report - promise! :-)

Have fun! I'm doing a week of track days at Estoril, Portimao and Jerez in Feb in my SR3RS, but am thinking also of taking my 16M. Did you drive all the way or take a ferry?

good luck and enjoy.
drove trucks to spain and back for 10 years, often using the portsmouth to bilbao crossing, (the love boat) which was great unless its choppy, and it can get choppy. if you can sneak yourself in the truck drivers lounge/restaraunt, the food is better, and i can tell you where the cheese, wine and biscuits are hidden;)
there are some cracking roads out there, i took a wrong turn once out of the docks, and ended up on a national road, it was simply stunning, not great in an artic at 40 tonne, but in a ferrari or similar, it would be stunning.
just watch out at night, for the neon lit "clubs" not what they 1st may appear to beeek
