Last year, we went amazingly wrong near Madrid Airport despite SatNav et al (I think the software was out of date as major road developments seemed to be going on) although managed to grab two of King Carlos' Finest to escort us for some 8 miles.
Is it now straightforward southbound from the A-1 round Madrid on to the A-3? Maybe it's always been straightforward.

Dougie.

Dougie,
We have that to look forward to next week. We still use the "Paper map and mark 1 eyeball" on our travels
The Spanish have been renumber their roads for years and it's a nightmare.
If we are transiting a large city like Madrid we usually use the E road

even the Spaniards don't change them.

Do you reckon Haro to La Manga is do-able in one day (500 mls)? We broke it up last year with a couple of days in the north of Murcia, but we want to toot 'n' bash on right down this time.

Dougie,
We would have done it in our working days but now we average about 300 miles in the transit mode.
From Haro to La Manga is nearly all Autovia so if you don't get lost around Madrid you should be OK. It's a long drive but if you are pushed for time go for it. What time of the year are you travelling, if it's in the winter months check out the forecast before departing.
Safe travelling.

We've never been snowbound (yet). The Spanish are on the ball with their
snow clearing. The ploughs are out along the Autovia long before the snow
starts to fall. One place where you could have problems. That's at the
Puerto de Somosierre (Alt.1440metres) between Burgos and Madrid. One winter we went over the Pass behind a snow plough.
If you want a rapid route through Madrid follow the signs "R3 Valencia" this is a paid motorway but is well worth the money if you are in a hurry.
