Mediterranean Blue

A short page, but I think you will find it tremendously useful. Even if you will not have a car for your visit, it helps to have an idea of the distances you need to cover, and driving times are often a fair reflection of other kinds of communication as well.

Campsa
OK journey calculator, and fast compared with others, but be warned that although the page is in English, you will need to enter the town names in Spanish.

euroShell
This is my personal choice. Click on "Route planner" to get the journey calculator. The interface is a wee bit annoying, but the results are first-class and you enter the town names in English.

geoplaneta.com
In Spanish, but easy to use, and handy because of being Spain-specific. Very fast, which makes it one of my favourites.

maporama.com
I found this route planner very irritating: you may have better luck, but I doubt it.

mappy.com
Don't bother selecting the English-language page, your results will be returned in English anyway. I didn't like the route not being displayed on a map, but I really liked the fact that it tells you the toll charges for your journey.

Via Michelin
Europe-wide. Search produces lots of details but no map (maps are available clicking on the tab). The same language problem is found again and it is very slow.

Hotels
Hotel Club
This booking service covers a very wide range of places in both Spain and Portugal.

Venere.com
An on-line booking service with great discounts.

Car Hire
Auto Europe
Car rental, motor homes, minibuses... And an interesting short-term lease option.
