Journey

Travelling by caravan or motorhome from Germany to the dream destination of Andalusia is exciting despite the long distance. The road network on the journey is well developed and signposted, but the distance between Germany and Andalusia is around 2,500 kilometres, which suggests a few stopovers.

The route leads from Germany to the French border, past the city of Lyon and down to Montpellier, which is located on the French coast and very close to Marseille. From here, the route continues along the coast towards Barcelona and then Valencia. After passing the Spanish port city, you travel through the interior of the country to Andalusia.
