Hallo blazindave,
tara, ich komme auch aus Deutschland. ich habe mal sowas aehnliches nach Belgien gemacht, ist aber schon 5 Jahre her. Ich bin aber Teile mit der Bahn gefahren (Studententicket und wenn du unter 25 bist, kriegst du da nicht viele Ermaessigungen????) Versuch doch mal Verkehrsbuero bei Euch und erzaehl denen doch mal was Du vor hast. Vielleicht haben die eine Ahnung oder sie koennen Dir zumindest ein paar Karten zur Verfuegung stellen und dann musst Du per Hand planen. Ansonsten habe ich auch keinen Rat. Aber falls Du ne Loesung findest, teil sie mir doch mit. Wuerde mich naemlich auch mal interessieren, wo man das nachschauen kann.

Hallo Barbara,
mein deutsch ist sehr schlecht und ich kann nicht auf deutsch reden. Ich habe nicht viel geld und 1700 km kostet sehr..expensive? :p
my german isnt good enough.aber Ich verstehe. i cant write german at all lol. sorry
Even under 25, i need enough to get there,,,need enough to eat and need enough to get back. Right now i have 120-ish euros. Not enough for a trip to spain and back. thats why its best if i save it up and attempt by bike. Thanks for the tourist idea....for some reason i had not though of that.
Danke :p

I biked all over France and a little bit of Spain last summer and just road on the roads using a basic map of France and Spain As long as you stay off of the toll roads I think everything else is open to cyclists. You can also try Lonely Planet. They have a cycing book for France. They may also have something for Germany and Spain. I didn't find the LP cycling book very helpful though. It mostly has tours of areas and is not set up well for going from point A to point B which is why I just used a basic map and it worked great.
I met a couple from Switzerland who had biked down from using basic maps with no problems as well.
Good luck!

yea ive tried that..but i dont think there is any way my friend could pick me up. She flew down to see me once and she had to pass by england. I dunno if i will bike down in the end. Assuming i biked 100km a day which wouldnt be a problem really, that would take me 17 days. I have a week off in a month..so this would mean id have to leave in a week, to get there on time. I dont know if i could miss school. The problem is not getting there..the problem is getting there in time...and without missing school.
ill see...i might just see her this summer instead :p
ok, thanks everyone for your help
much appreciated

This is probably the craziest thing i will ever do.
I live in Germany...right in the middle of it actually.
I want to go to the south of spain to see a friend. The city is called Almeria.
Now since i dont have the money for plane/train ticket, and my parents wont pay, I have decided to go by bike.
Does anyone know a website that has bike paths for every city and country?
I need to be able to do this by april 9th...i have a week off of school from 9th to 17th.
Also, tips on what to bring would help. Im going to buy a hunting knife (im a knife freak too ), a "container" that i can hold food in, clothes, a ton of water, money, passport, phone, helmet etc...
can anyone help me? i dont want to have to do this by bike, so im sellnig my guitar and hoping i can get the money before then to buy a ticket. If not...you only once right? :p
thanks
