Dear Harry, I'm glad to see that you finally decided to take the ferry and come to Spain. I appreciate did you have a fantastic trip and stayed in the right hotels. I praise your good judgement. Regarding the absolute lack of sports cars on the road enjoying our mega-roads, there is a triple explanation: 1) In Spain both sports cars and speed have been demonized. The stantard driver drags along, painfully, with an ugly SUV. 2) During this vacation, everyone has gone to the coast to enjoy the beach, so the interior regions have been empty for a week. 3) One of the regions where you were, the Upper Tagus, is one of the emptiest regions in Europe, with a population density lower than that found in Lapland. I love your channel, please keep making great videos and brightening up our Sunday afternoon. Greetings from Madrid.

When foreigners drive through sunny Spain in flip flops and shorts they tend to forget that it is the second European country with the highest average altitude after Switzerland, which means once you drive 50 miles inland from the coast you are at least at 2500 ft and can get pretty cold, particularly at night.

aircooled engines are tuned a bit richer AFR. And turbo engines also. That said, it seems too rich. I'd have the coldstart enrichment checked. If it keeps overfueling the engine will use too much fuel all the time at all revs. Maybe the elevation is also a factor? Less oxygen the higher you go.

Agree. Here in Spain is not like other countries (e.g. best example is Germany) in relation to car culture. Also you won't see beyond regions like Madrid & Barcelona city and some few others, "sport cars", or like in Puerto Banus and surroundings, where many EU and Arabian goes for vacation and bring their sport cars. One of the factors, here in Spain, is the cost of buying a car is expensive, between VAT, registration tax and others, luxury and powerful cars could cost you around 30-35% of the value of the car being taxes, also the GDP per capita compared to other EU countries is not so high, that's why you will see mainly small cars as top sellers. Plus beyond SEAT, there is no "historic" car brands, like Italy. Also historically the government and their "traffic" management branch, the DGT, always criminalized anything related to cars and impose strong restrictions in everything related to it everywhere. For instance in this video, if you were a spaniard, the "Guardia Civil" as they are the traffic control police (except Vasque country and cataluña), for some actions in the video and taking the video itself as a proof, they could you impose the corresponding tickets, considering in some places it was driving over the speed limit or due some accelerations considering it reckless driving, etc... (really stupid, but is the philosophy here..) The investment in speed cameras is relevant, for instance there are several helicopters with speed cameras. The police is "pushed" hard to impose traffic tickets for everything to allow the government take plenty of money (big part of the treasury of the DGT with the tickets goes to other government sectors as cashpool). Also here if you drive an expensive car, there is a culture here to treat you as d....head, there is quite a lot of jealous people, that's why also many people is reluctant to drive their expensive cars regularly.

It's is very EU "disease" and France has become particularly pernicious, particularly for bikes, and the cops in Netherlands put the Russian mercenaries to shame.

[@DeesoSaeed]

LMAO, that's all bullshit. The "car culture" in Spain is weak not because speed tickets or whatever (just try speeding in any other country), but because in Spain sports cars are seen as status items more than anything else. That's why Harry didn't see sports carts in secondary roads. All the rich kids stick to places where they can show off. They won't go to rural areas for that.

good thing about those maps is theres no mention of curvature .....wicked ,nice one H great vid

[@AngelFloyd27]

I enjoyed the video so much Harry. I'm from the Canary Islands so I didn't know this places either, but what a joy to see. I should make a trip and discover more of my own country, it's a shame that sometimes we don't spend enough time knowing our own culture. I hope you had a great time, lovely video.

I am from the UK and this trip reminded me a little of Gran Canaria. I hired a car and drove into the centre of the island, the winding roads were mostly very quiet and the landscape was beautiful.

@@richardclowes7428 Thank you for coming Richard, glad you liked it.

Glad someone else likes ferries - nice to have a good night sleep whilst travelling! The rarer bits of Spain to visit can be amazing! Easter week (semana santa) is a huge thing in Spain, in general Spanish society is much more coherent in Spain so things are celebrated by pretty much the whole town.

Spain is one favourite countries. I love the Paradors.. I've stayed in some amazing castles, monasteries and other old buildings that are part of the chain. The food is always wonderful in them too. Must admit there was too much open road driving and not enough of the twisties. I want to do a Spanish road trip and would like to know where the great roads are.

I know that they are many ,but is so beautiful this 930 .So understate but with huge amount of fines. Outstanding car .One of the very best ever by any company at all time .

[@geoffclarke3796]

Love the car. I remember a ferry trip from Portsmouth to Bilbao when I had a 911 3.2 Carerra way back in October 1999. The ferry trip was rough to say the least but as Harry says, the Bay of Biscay is well known for this.

Does it really take two whole days (48hrs)? I'd have guessed 24 hours

[@joxepojoxepin2752]

@@visionist7 35-40 hours, if it is an afternoon departure you will spend two nights in the ferry, early morning ones are usually 1 night aboard.

[@Kingdonnerkebab]

@@visionist7 there are 2 options either one or two days, I moved to Portugal and used the one day option. Cabins are spacious and you can get dog friendly ones.

Thank you for visiting my country and showing me / reminding me of the beautiful secondary roads. I recommend the Ruta de la Plata, eating cachopo in Asturias, chorizo ​​and serrano ham in Salamanca and fried fish in Seville.

[@johnz4860]

10:39 Germany is renown for its autobahns where you can drive really fast, what few people know is that a high number of Spaniards drive seriously fast in the empty roads of Castille. And I really mean seriously fast!

[@MasterMalrubius]

I can agree with Harry's opinion of Spanish roads. We drove from Madrid a bit west to Avila and then up and northeast to San Sebastian. Then after our stay there we came south through Pamplona to Barcelona. The roads were in great shape, very open and (opposite of what we saw in the video) the drivers did a great job. No tailgating or weaving. It was joy to drive across country there. It was strange to go through towns mid-day and not see anyone. I suppose people were on siesta during those times. I really want to go back and see the south of Spain.
