Spain 2013 - The Road to Granada (3.4.13)

I was a little apprehensive about driving on the right hand side, particularly on such a long drive (over 400km) straight off without any time to get used to it. And it was raining to start off with.
But it was a trouble free and enjoyable drive, ma-sha-Allah. Spanish motorways have fewer lanes than those in the UK but there was no traffic so they don't need them to be bigger. My first impression of Spanish drivers was that they drive slower - I was sticking to the speed limit (120kmh) for the better part of this journey but was still overtaking more than being overtaken.
Everybody got some sleep as the kilometres piled on. The plan was to break up the journey into two but Alhamdulillah didn't need to - it was almost a challenge to see if I could make it in one! And after about four hours we were in the beauty that is Granada...
