Recommended 7 seater Car Hire Madrid Drives

Drive to Seville

One of the most famous drives from Madrid is to head to Seville, via the A-5 and A-66. This 500 kilometer drive takes you through Toledo, the infamous UNESCO Heritage Site known for the infamous castle, all the way to the place which is famous for one of the largest cathedrals in the world: The Cathedral of Seville. Not only do you have the cathedral, you can also see the Casa de Pilatos – which is considered one of the prettiest places in all of Spain. Along the journey from Madrid to Seville, you cannot miss the views of the Tagus River.

 Sierra Nevada

The Sierra Nevada’s are a mountain pass dotted with small Arabic villages, steep cliff drop views with the highest point at over 3500 meters, the lows of picturesque valleys, and so much more. They are also only a 6 hour drive. A little long for a day trip, but worth doing over a few days. Don’t miss the sunrise and sunset!

Drive from Madrid to Barcelona

The drive from Madrid to Barcelona is also quite extensively travelled and is easily reached on the AP-2 and A-2. This 600-kilometer drive takes around 6 hours, but should be done over 2-3 days. It’s better to drive it slow and enjoy the ride. Once you reach Barcelona, you must not miss all the Gaudi architecture. Along the way, stop in places like Zaragoza – a historic town populated by Iberians sometime around 25 BC. It is also famous for architectural wonders like the Basílica del Pilar – built in 1681 and the Aljafería Palace.
