  • The Porsche 930 makes for a great GT and I took my special turbo S version on a road trip to Spain to find some of the best and quietest roads in Europe. Here's my guide to where to find the best roads and where to stay. This video was created with the support of:

    You know it's going to be good when Harry starts a video holding a paper map.

    Dear Harry, I'm glad to see that you finally decided to take the ferry and come to Spain. I appreciate did you have a fantastic trip and stayed in the right hotels. I praise your good judgement. Regarding the absolute lack of sports cars on the road enjoying our mega-roads, there is a triple explanation: 1) In Spain both sports cars and speed have been demonized. The stantard driver drags along, painfully, with an ugly SUV. 2) During this vacation, everyone has gone to the coast to enjoy the beach, so the interior regions have been empty for a week. 3) One of the regions where you were, the Upper Tagus, is one of the emptiest regions in Europe, with a population density lower than that found in Lapland. I love your channel, please keep making great videos and brightening up our Sunday afternoon. Greetings from Madrid.

    Harry, please say a massive thank you to Mrs M for her patience and understanding in giving us the shots of the car, which must be time consuming to get, but contribute so much to our enjoyment.

    When foreigners drive through sunny Spain in flip flops and shorts they tend to forget that it is the second European country with the highest average altitude after Switzerland, which means once you drive 50 miles inland from the coast you are at least at 2500 ft and can get pretty cold, particularly at night. Even in the south snow can be seen from october to may up in the mountains.

    I live in Extremadura in Spain. One of the least populated, most beautiful parts. Open roads, stunningly beautiful scenery and the best roads I've driven on. Nowhere else like it anywhere in Europe. And the nicest, friendliest people I've ever met. A driver's paradise.

    This is everything I love wrapped up into one video: Porsche, Road Trips, Travel, Paper Maps, Hotels/Castles, History, Getting Lost, and pure adventure! Harry, you deserve a knighthood! 🇬🇧 👑

    Hats off to Mrs. M for being an accommodating travel partner, an MVP of the channel for those of us that particularly enjoy the road trip videos.

    Thank you Mrs M for standing on the roadside and watching your husband drive into and out of shot. 👍

    We all know that Harry does this kind of content exceptionally well, but let’s just take a moment to mention Mrs M’s camera work and the editing, both take this to the next level.

    Weak brakes, low mpg, and a Macgyver funnel - H.M. likes to live dangerously!! 😆😁

    Harry I want to sincerely thank you, I’m actually stuck in my bed for weeks because health recovering, and being with you on your trip experience is an IMMENSE pleasure for me………. Watching beautiful landscapes, listening your voice and lovely accent, falling in love with your car… This is such a definition of pure and only positive moment…

    One of my favourite Harry's video's so far. I adore the way he puts his arm around your shoulders and says "come with me" on wonderful journeys, a light touch on architecture, landscapes, history and more, adorned with true heart, passion and knowledge for driving pleasure and cars. A true joy to watch... Thank you Harry.

    I love these long distance road trips that Harry does at times. These are my favorite videos from Harry.

    You know what this channel is like, and I mean this as no disrespect, it's like being with my most dearest grandfather. Having grown up in the UK separated from him in the south of Italy, our few memories shared together were through cars. I can remember it as if it were yesterday - the two of us, not having a word in common between us, yet connected through the passion of engineering and beauty of that old fiat Cinquecento. Finding your channel has reignited all those fond memories - the smell of engine oil, the smell of cigarettes and black coffee, the beautiful campagna roads of God's natural race track.

    Firstly the Turbo S looks and sound amazing being driven properly, but the roads and scenery of central Spain seem wonderful. The extra length video is fantastic and really enjoyable.

    My favorite type of videos from you, Harry! I became addicted to you when you and your wife took your Countach on a long drive, and shared all the characteristics of driving the car which we never usually hear about. I felt like I was right there along for the drive. Great stuff! Love driving my Porches all over America, and love your channel!
