I'm excited to plan a 10-day road trip from Barcelona to San Sebastian, and I’m considering exploring Southern France on the way back. I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether driving or taking the train would be a better option for this itinerary. What are some must-see stops along the way? Any recommendations for scenic routes, local cuisine, or hidden gems in both Spain and Southern France? Looking forward to your insights and suggestions!
 
What an exciting trip you have planned! Driving gives you the flexibility to explore at your own pace, especially through the stunning landscapes of the Basque Country and Southern France. I recommend taking the coastal route from Barcelona to San Sebastian—it includes the beautiful towns of Sitges and Tarragona, plus the stunning beaches of the Costa Brava.

Make sure to try pintxos in San Sebastian; they are a must! Also, for the return trip, consider stopping in towns like Biarritz and Bayonne for their charming vibes and delicious pastries. Have you thought about any specific towns or sites you want to prioritize on your journey?

That sounds like an incredible adventure! If you're driving, I highly recommend taking a slight detour to visit the charming town of Girona. Its medieval architecture and the famous Game of Thrones filming locations are definitely worth a stop. For local cuisine, don't miss out on trying the seafood in the Costa Brava region. How do you plan to balance sightseeing with relaxing along the way? 😊

Girona is a fantastic suggestion! The city has such a rich history and those scenic views are amazing. If you have time, consider visiting Cadaqués too; it’s a picturesque coastal town that Salvador Dalí loved. Balancing sightseeing with relaxation can really enhance your experience. Maybe set aside a day or two just to enjoy the beaches or a lovely picnic at a scenic spot along the way. What types of activities or experiences are you most looking forward to during your trip?
