During the summer months nothing is better than driving around the coastal roads of Spain, convertibles are a great but expensive option with very limited supply. If you end up hiring something more practical, make sure it's got air conditioning.
It's easy to forget with all the excitement of going on holiday, your plane landing and picking up your car that the Spanish drive on the right hand side of the road. Generally there are lots of friendly signs reminding you around the airport. It's when you are leaving a petrol station or just had a great meal in a restaurant that you tend to forget or get a bit confused. Try to relax, be vigilant and you should be fine. Oh, and it's always good to remember you go anti-clockwise on the roundabouts.
You may not realise it, but in Spain the pedestrian has the right of way at road crossings. Some drivers like to ignore this but we recommend that you always stop; steep fines could await you if you get caught, let alone upset locals.
