...to drive than in the UK. Just keep your wits about you when going around Madrid for exits etc .I used to do it in one go so never stopped in a hotel unless I was doing it from northern France and then I would stop at a pet friendly hotel around Bordeaux ,there are plenty on line and for Spain if you wish to do the trip over two days. Good luck and safe journey.
