My wife and I are planning on flying into Pisa or Genoa and then driving to Barcelona. We will be spending about 9 or 10 nights. Can anyone recommend a nice itinerary, hotels, places, etc?
Thanks in advance.

I would assume that to get from Pisa/Genoa to Barcelona by car, you have to drive through France! :) In southern France, I%26#39;ve only visited Nice and the surrounding area, and Provence. I highly recommend Nice as a base for exploring all along the Riviera from Monaco to Antibes. Once you park in Nice, you don%26#39;t have to use your car to explore unless you want to. The bus service is convenient, inexpensive, and lets you sit back and enjoy the views.
You could do about 4 nights there, then 4 nights in Provence - either Aix, which is a small historic city and very walkable, or somewhere in the countryside (we like Les Carmes B%26amp;B near L%26#39;Isle sur la Sorgue) from which to explore hill towns and the like.
Then you%26#39;d still have a night or two to stop off further west towards Barcelona if you wanted. I%26#39;ve heard Carcassonne is cool and it would be right on the way from the L%26#39;Isle/Avignon area.
Anyway, that%26#39;s my 2 cents worth!

Definitely try to pass through France on your way from Italy to Spain . . . If you avoid getting the car on one of those pesky ferries in Genoa, you%26#39;ll manage it! I would zigzag about a bit, and maybe spend some time in on the riviera, maybe in Nice, time Aix, some in Arles/St Remy, maybe try a detour up to Carcassonne?
