Car Hire
In this section we have tried to suggest some itineraries
that you can use as a base for tours in Andalucia. These itineraries
also link together many other information pages. It is necessary
to use the back button on your browser to return to your itinerary.
As always the greatest problem is
how to fit so much in a limited period of time and have a holiday
as well rather than win an endurance award. You
will need a good map. Michellin 446 of Southern Spain is the best.
A suggested Itinerary
for the backpacker without a hire car is outlined
by Lee Gutcher who also who offers advice for backpackers.
