A self-drive touring holiday to Spain is a popular option, especially as it is possible to travel by ferry to northern Spain with your own car. Brittany Ferries offers weekly ferries from Plymouth to Santander (journey time around 20 hours), twice weekly ferries from Portsmouth to Bilbao (journey time around 24 hours) and twice weekly ferries from Portsmouth to Santander (journey time around 24 hours).
Your touring holiday can be as simple or as complex as you wish – you can choose to follow one of the sample itineraries which we have created, you can modify one of these itineraries according to your requirements, or you can allow us to develop a whole new itinerary based on your preferences. We will use our expertise to create a bespoke touring holiday just for you, offering advice to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Our hotels in Spain
All the luxury hotels in Spain that are featured by Expressions Holidays have been selected to provide high standards of comfort, service and cuisine. Most of the hotels we feature are four or five-star, although we have also chosen some small, charming hotels that haven’t been officially categorised. In this programme you will find our hand-picked selection of characterful boutique gems, exclusive seaside resorts, modern hotels and rustic properties in a rural setting, some located on large countryside estates. We also feature the renowned Parador hotels, a collection of state-run hotels which occupy historic buildings such as former monasteries, mediaeval fortresses and hilltop castles.
