We all consider before we go on holiday whether it is worth our while hiring a car. I have always enjoyed the option of being able to get about freely without being dependent on public transport. In some countries the public transport service is excellent and in others not so hot. However, when you want to see the sights in comfort and at your own speed then it is imperative to have your own transport.
I know alot of people dread to drive in foreign part, being unsure of the language and road signs is a struggle to some. However, if you want to really enjoy your holiday to the full, it is worth learning a few key signs that you can expect to see - like leaving and changing lanes can be a bit of challenge if you are a UK Citizen getting to grips with the sign posts can be a real challenge. Yet, I have really enjoyed my travelling around Andalucia in my car and would highly recommend driving and getting to see some of the wonderful hidden treasures inland as well as on the coastal areas. Whatever country you choose to travel to, it is great to have adventures.
Have fun, enjoy your holiday - do not be put off by your lack of experience - I passed my test in my early 50's and did not do many long trips before driving down through Spain on my own. I am glad I did. I enjoy my trips to the Granada area and found that the road systems in Spain especially the highways are excellent. However having a right hand driving vehicle I choose to travel on none toll roads as it can be a bit stressful to keep trying to reach the kiosk from the right hand side, I usually end up having to get out of the car and walking round to the kiosk - which causes delays - so my advice is if you are driving in Spain in a right hand car and you are unfamiliar with the system - go toll free. I use my Satnav to get me to places I would never have thought possible for me. Now I have developed more confidence in my driving and wanting to travel around more and more. So happy driving.
I hired a left hand drive car when I came down for a trip for househunting and I did not find it difficult to change. When my car becomes too old I will buy a left hand drive. However my dear skoda is doing fine.

This is an alternative to renting a bricks and mortar property. There is so much you can see and do, this is an excellent way of seeing the regions you may be interested in and discovering the right kind of property for you and your family.
I have found that camping in and around Europe over the years to be a joy and have visited some really lovely countries.
I highly recommend that this as a great opportunity to discover for yourself the cuisine and culture of the regions you are interested in.
Before buying a property anywhere it is wise to do the research and also if you are sure of the country - learn the language of the country so that your integration into the population will be much more smoother.
Having lived in the fast lane in the UK, it is really nice to be going at a slower pace of life, able to sit back and enjoy the sun and sea. It is great to be able get up in the morning and look out of my windows to see the beautiful mountains that are surrounding Estepona. Also when I then proceed to take my dog out for her early morning walk it is great to see the sea at the bottom of the road.
Today, we have been having visitors and went visiting so we have been a bit slower at getting things done. However we are just enjoying the moment of knowing that we can be relaxing by the pool or walking in amongst the pine trees and along dry river beds just taking in all the beauty that surrounds us.
For us the transition to Spain was really quite painless once the decision to come had fianlly been set in the mind, then the adventure really started as we had to go to North Wales so I could get some driving practice in before driving all the way down from Santander through the flat lands of the Extremedura to arrive finally at Estepona, the sight of seeing Gibraltar at the end of the our journey was amazing - never in all my years was I so pleased to see such a landmark as I knew that my journey was nearly over. I was tired and hungry and feeling hot as I had come over in August and it was hot. However, I am glad I choose that time of the year as the sea crossing over from the UK was very calm and no incidents of bad weather - which was great for me, as I had not travelled down before and I really did not know what to expect.
Now we are settled in Spain and enjoying our new life. We would hope to inspire others to make the same decision. So if you are considering it but do not know how to proceed please do not hesitate to contact me suecaroline@hotmail.co.uk and I will gladly give you some tips on how i did it.
Now the time for learning a new skill and language and to meet with new people to discover hidden talents and depths to one character is amazing.
