SOUTH OF SPAIN HIDDEN GEM ROAD TRIP

Rent a car and get your European summer fix by roadtripping through the most charming towns on the Spanish coast.

The south of Spain doesn’t get enough love! The south of Spain has some of the most charming towns I’ve ever laid my eyes on! Not to mention - the fantastic cuisine, great wine, warm hospitality, vibrant culture, and beautiful beaches. There is so much to love about Spain.

Here is my perfect itinerary for road tripping along the Spanish coast. This route will take you to some of the most charming and underrated towns:

1: Granda

2: Nerja

3: Fragilian (a great dupe for Santorini!)

4: Ronda

5: Seville

This route has it all, and you are never driving for more than 2 hours between any of the cities. All of these cities are very affordable and easy to do on a budget as well!!
