Thirty years ago would not have said what I have now and the reasons are obvious.
In the Spain of the 70 inter-provincial movement came to become an ordeal to say nothing of inter-regional or coast to coast. I remember the Seat 600 is heated so much that had to carry a jug of water on board or know where to refuel for the increases to the mountain passes were made eternal. Today we have a network of highways that we make the trip faster and is precisely now when we can afford not to hurry and leisure travel. Clear that occasionally the old roads and the national are the only way to approach many places that are far from major routes.
The motorways have an obvious advantage is the high speed and half, in addition to security. The trouble is that sometimes you have to pay and free alternative doubles the travel time.
Today's post is dedicated to all those routes that have become little frequented. So I will mention some of the advantages that investing a little more time on the trip in exchange for our eyes are filled with human landscapes. Of course, if we have to go to Gijon Jaen from Badajoz to Valencia in the day should not waste time on silly but there are routes that cry out for an intermediate stage to enjoy the car and the road. Eye because in many cases what you save on tolls paid to the hotel dinner and the next day we reached our destination more rested.
In national and secondary schools we find things like this:
"You can turn almost anytime, without waiting for the next exit, which at best is 30 km.
"If you take no one behind you to slow down to appreciate the views.
"There are many places to eat and drink as normal prices, not like in the service areas.
"Gasoline is always cheaper than motorways.
"You go through really cool people and you can shop for local products, go to the pharmacy, health center or buy bread.
-Save fuel because you're going to lower rates. It spends 30% less.
-discover places you did not know either existed.
"If you stop to see the big picture, there are viewpoints and places where parking, rest and follow route.
-In case of failure no serious risk when getting off the car.
"Sometimes the distance is cut because the highways are long detours.
a child traveling by car was a ritual which included the purchase of bread in a village in another sausage, cheese, a few miles beyond, sweets in the middle of the road and nap in a pine forest of Castile let alone cooked this or that village. It was traveling and not now, they are just traveling without charm or grace, pure poetry Transport.
This summer I have plans to make the route between Zaragoza and Morella Vinaroz through and I hope the experience enjoyable.
recall our trips national secondary schools are more ecological and environment-friendly, apart from helping the economy of the areas they cross and also to ours.
