Valencia towards Alicante - The Detour

[Allyc85]

Yesterday on holiday in Spain the weather turned for the worse, and so I took an amazing detour on the way from Valencia towards Alicante.

Just endless twisty corners, and I expect when there is less low cloud amazing views too! And as a bonus very little traffic, until I got near Sella I must have barely seen 10 cars in 2 hours.

Spain is the best place for a drive for me, blows France and Switzerland out of the water IMO.

I was in a rented Vw Polo so things might feel different in a supercar, but there was only the occasional bump and a few rocks which had been washed into the road by the heavy rain, but apart from that the surface was smooth.

Driving in Devon is doing my head in, got stuck behind 2 cars in 15 minutes at 1.30am on the way home, where as Spain the roads away from the coast are empty!

Hire car companies really are wkers. I had an hours wait before I was seen at Firefly when I turned up, and then they came up with an extra £40 charge as my excess insurance apparently only covered me for 60km per day. Being tired and barely able to understand the woman I just took the hit and got out of there.

I had the low tyre pressure warning light come on. Trying to understand how to use a Spanish tyre inflator in the rain was not how my holiday was meant to be!
