Assuming my errant hip is sorted in time this is our trip of inland Spain next Mar-May to see the bits inland that were just too hot on our last circuit a few years ago. Any suggestions for ‘must sees’ and ‘must stays’ along the way would be greatly welcomed.

I've crossed the Pyrenees a couple of times, different routes and it's an amazing drive. Avoid Andorra as it is petrol fumes all the way through. Other than that I have no useful contribution. I tend to roam the countryside avoiding cities. I would however like to visit Seville. Park4night is good for en route stops.Pick up the Douro in Spain then follow it to Porto or as far as you want. Lots of interesting stops and sights and it gives you a direction for the trip.
That’s on the agendaSalamanca is one of Sally's favourite places in Spain.
Stunning architecture
Thanks, great route but went that way on our first trip.Pick up the Douro in Spain then follow it to Porto or as far as you want. Lots of interesting stops and sights and it gives you a direction for the trip.
We visited Seville some years ago. It was so hot we felt quite unwell. Nice city though.I've crossed the Pyrenees a couple of times, different routes and it's an amazing drive.

Cracking place to visit, we went there on our 2017 trip.Look up Morella if you haven't been. Lovely place to visit with it's hilltop fortress.
Is Osuna worth a 40 mile diversion? Jerez is on our route. I couldn’t find Badjodoz…did you mean Badajoz near the Portuguese border?you could have a great time just visiting towns you hit with a dart lol , as paul says following the pilgrim trail is great and as an ex squaddie following the route of the peninsula war was interesting, Osuna was an unexpected pleasure and jerez de los callaberos nr badjodoz would win first prize as an aire
Another vote for Ampudia, it's worth a stop over on the aire if you time it right.another place to pull in is ampudia wonderful old town
I told you Ken is the man..in my opinion it’s well worth the days diversion there is an aire parking outside a large discount supermarket ( family cash) directly across from the hospital , + another one on the far side of town the town itself was once one of the richest in spain the local duke had the monopoly on the wool trade & would only deal with merchants in his town walking around the center every other building is a palace or convent etc the facades & doorways are amazing , paul told us about the casino in the center a cross between working mens club cafe it was great we overdosed on tapas , the first two pics are jerez, the next the casino and doors in osuna , another place to pull in is ampudia wonderful old town looks like something from a sphagetti western View attachment 63369View attachment 63370View attachment 63371View attachment 63372View attachment 63373
