 Leased Car In Spain by deecat
We went through our AAA [American Automobile Association] to lease the car. They go through a company in France.
The representative in France met us at the Madrid Airport. He gave us the keys, all the papers, a "tour" of the car and how to operate it, important telephone numbers in case of an emergency, and directions of how to leave the airport. The man was efficient, well versed, and quite friendly.
The car that we leased was the 1999 Renault LaGuna. It was a great 5-speed shift car with lots of pick-up. There were three adults traveling together with our luggage, and we had more than ample room.
The advantages of leasing are that you receive a brand new car; the insurance is included in the price, and the assistance that you are given if you need it is extraordinary.
Needless to say, the fact that it is less expensive than renting a car for that amount of time also plays into the decision to lease.
My husband Allan loved this car so very much that he truly wanted to take it home with us. Spain is a mountainous country, and this car performed excellently. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor HomeOther Contact: In USA, contact AAA

 MAP of our route...from
Lourdes to Artiés by Lady_Mystique
My friend wanted to stop and buy some Spanish saffron, oranges, and a few other items that were less expensive in Spain, so we just kept going and added Artiés to our exploration of the Pyrenees area. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 The black bull by SirRichard
Some years ago the road billboards were banned in the spanish roads, so every ad at the side of the roads should be removed. BUT, as this bull had become a kind of a "national icon", they pardoned him, just taking off any reference to the wine company...
You will find many of them in the main roads of Spain. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Funicular view by hopang
The funicular train travels at a gradient of up to 65% which is rather steep with breath-taking view of the railway track and the resort below. It looks quite scary as well! The funicular railway is operating between 7.00 a.m. and 7.00 p.m. daily.
Warning: The queue is quite long during the summer months. You may have to queue up for about one hour for the next furnicular to go down. So it is important to adjust your time accordingly. It is also possible to walk down the well-prepared staircases beside the track, but it is not recommended. Don't miss the ride on a funicular railway when you visit Montserrat Mountains on your vacation! Leave a Comment
