 Thanks Foxbat

Hubby said I was being a bit ambitious thinking Lisbon to San Miguel in one hit would be easy. When Checking the Sat Nav  he also discovered I booked all the hotels for next month.  Was late at night and I had been searching for hours.  No harm done I have re booked all hotels and am just looking for an extra night between Lisbon and San Miguel.  The Viamichelin route is the route we are taking. :)  Will post back on our return to England.  (If we can make it out of Dover on the right date).

 My first time to this site and I have already found it so helpful.  Wednesday we are setting off from Southampton to Lisbon in Portugal.

We arrive in Dunkirk midday on Wednesday then plan to travel to Tours with an overnight stop.

Tours to San Sebastian on day 2 with an over night stop in San Sebastien.

San Sebastien to Guarda in Portugal on Day 3 with an overnight stop.

Guarda to Lisbon with 2 nights in Lisbon.

Then Lisbon to San Miguel de Salinas near Murcia for the rest of our holiday to visit family.

This will be our first time driving in Europe.  We are travelling with our son aged 6 and have invested in a dvd player and games console for his entertainment as well as education along the way (school books).

Does anyone have any advise or experiences that they would like to share so that we know what to avoid/expect.

Thank you

Sarah
