This was an unforgettable journey by that we took by car from Luxembourg through France - via Champagne, the Loire valley, Cognac, Bordeaux - and then onwards over the Pyrenees into Spain.The towns and cities slipped by - including Santiago del Compostella, Vigo, and Madrid. Heading south through southern Spain, the road led into Portugal and the village of Sagres on the most westerly, southerly tip of Europe.
