Ma requête peut paraître un peu stupide, mais je n'ai pas trouvé de réponse à mes interrogations sur le forum.
Je pars deux semaines en Andalousie au mois de juin prochain, je me réjouis d'avance car cela fait longtemps que j'ai envie de découvrir cette magnifique région.
Nous allons louer une voiture pour toute la durée du séjour, et prévoyons bien évidemment de visiter Séville, Grenade, Cordoue...
Mon souci, c'est que j'ai tendance à être malade en voiture, et je ne supporte absolument pas les routes très montagneuses 😊 (les passages de col sont un vrai calvaire pour moi, même si les paysages sont magnifiques).
Les connaisseurs pourraient me dire quels sont donc les routes (ou sites) à ne pas privilégier sur notre parcours ? J'aimerai beaucoup visiter les fameux "villages blancs' mais ne sont-ils pas haut-perchés ?
Je peux supporter la route de moyenne montagne mais pas plus d'une heure grand maximum (et encore :D), j'espère que ceci n'est pas un trop gros handicap pour découvrir les merveilles andalouses.
Nous souhaiterions aussi nous poser quelques jours (2 ou 3 jours) pour profiter de la mer et de la plage, mais j'aimerai vraiment éviter la côte bétonnée sans charme de Marbella... Où pouvons-nous nous arrêter ?
Merci d'avance pour tous vos conseils qui me serons précieux 😛
désolée je ne peux pas trop vous aidez question itinéraire! je peux juste vous suggérer, si vous n'avez pas déjà essayé, les bracelet d'acupuncture: un à chaque poignet, une petite boule en plastique appui sur un point bien précis si le bracelet est placé correctement. J'utilise cela et je trouve que ça marche du tonnerre!
allez bon courage et bon voyage!
Non pas de probleme en voiture pour la plupart des routes des villages blancs a partir de seville les virages sont espaces et la plupart ne sont pas aussi hauts que ca. Tu te rendra tout de suite compte si tu peux faire les derniers kilometres a partir des routes pricipales et je ne pense pas que cela sera un probleme. Les routes sont tres bonnes auusi dans ce coin la.
Par contre je ne recommenderai pas les routes de la sierra nevada pour une personne malade en voiture les routes sont plus etroites et le manque de barriere cote ravin risquent d'etre un choc pour ton systeme.
Bon Voyage
Par contre je ne suis plus malade en transport (bus, voiture...) depuis que j'ai toujours avec moi de l'huile essentiele de menthe poivrée !
En mettre quelques gouttes sur un petit mouchoir à renifler pendant les passages difficiles (routes tortueuses). Et ça marche !
Par contre attention, c'est très volatile, ne pas approcher le flacon des yeux sinon ça brule. Et ça sentira bon dans toute la voiture !
les villages blancs sont malheureusement dans la Sierra Nevada, à mi hauteur et la route est, en grande partie, une route de montagne quelques fois étroites!!
Mais on peut s'arrêter dans chaque village et faire une petite ballade à pied, plus casse croute de fromage + jambon sec + petit blanc du pays inoubliable!!
Pour le reste les liaisons entre Cordoue, Séville et Grenade se font par autoroutes , donc large!!
les villages blancs .... dans la sierra nevada??????????????????????????
Les villages blancs se situent au sud de seville a cote du Parc National de Grazelema!!! les routes ne sont pas aussi tortueuse et l'a'titude est differente.
la sierra Nevada se situe au sud de Grenade
Je vais marcher suffisament dans le coin chaque annee pour le savoir. Tous les villages sont blancs dans le coin mais quand les espagnols font rerence a la route des villages blancs il sagit certainement pas de la Sierra mais du sud de seville
Je dirai "avantage" Frenchanglo car lorsque la majorité des gens parlent des "pueblos blancos" ils font effectivement référence à la région comprise entre Ronda et Jimena (en gros).
Mais "service" Droger, car il y a aussi des "pueblos blancos" dans l'Alpujarra granadina (Pampaneira, Bubion, Capileira ...etc).
Et comme c'est l'arbitre qui a toujours raison 😇 je dirai que, pour moi, le plus beau village blanc est celui de FRIGILIANA.
Il ne se trouve ni dans la région de Ronda, ni dans la Sierra Nevada 😛 mais dans les contreforts de la Sierra de TEJEDA, au dessus de Nerja, à 20 kms de chez moi, c'est à dire Almuñecar.
Si vous ne connaissez pas, jetez un @ sur mon blog : http://almunecar.blog4ever.com
Dans l'article "Autour d'Almuñecar", il y a un paragraphe largement illustré sur Frigiliana, et il y a également un paragraphe sur les villages blancs de l'Alpujarra.
Bon ... la balle au centre ... on reprend le match !! 😄
Si j'ai bien compris, il faudrait que j'évite la Sierra Nevada et les villages des Alpujarras... c'est vraiment dommage car c'est un coin qui m'a l'air magnifique :( Fichu mal des transports ! Je tenterais bien quand-même car ça m'ennuie beaucoup de passer à côté de si beaux paysages (et en plus empêcher mon compagnon d'y aller).
J'ai toutes les peines du monde à établir mon circuit, nous partons 17 jours et non seulement je ne me rends pas bien compte des distances, mais j'ai du mal à savoir s'il vaut mieux passer plusieurs jours à un endroit et rayonner, ou disséquer le séjour en plusieurs étapes.
Je prévois bien évidemment quelques jours à Séville, Grenade, Cordoue.
J'aimerai visiter un peu la côte vers Nerja, puis partir du côté de Ronda, et des villages blancs (j'imagine que le mieux est de séjourner dans la province de Cadix, non ?) avant de boucler le séjour à Séville. J'imagine que séjourner à Cadix permet de profiter à la fois des villages blancs, et de découvrir la Costa de La Luz, me trompe-je ?
Autre question : est-ce que le désert de Tabernas présente un réel intérêt ? Je n'ai pas trouvé grand chose au sujet de cet endroit si ce n'est qu'on y trouve un grand parc "d'attraction" - studios cinéma - hyper touristique.
N'hésitez pas à me faire déplacer le sujet si besoin.
Il y aurait bien la solution "vélo" ... mais ça grimpe dur !! 😛
Il est certain que la région de l'Alpujarra granadina est trés belle, mais là pour le coup ça tourne !!! et il y a quelques beaux "à pics" 😕
Même les corses finissent par dire que finalement chez eux, en comparaison ils ont des autoroutes 😄
Pour la région des "pueblos blancos", vers Jimena - Ronda, ça tourne aussi... mais, moins, ce n'est pas comme la précédente une authentique route de montagne.
En ce qui concerne la côte, même si je ne suis pas totalement impartial, je t'assure que celà ne vaut la peine qu'entre Nerja et Almuñecar.
Aprés Nerja le bétonnage a fait ses ravages, et au dessus d'Almuñecar c'est pas génial non plus et on arrive vite dans la région des serres.
Et si tu me demande mon avis (pas objectif), je te dirais Almuñecar les yeux fermés 😛
A Nerja, il est fortement conseillé de parler anglais ou une langue slave 😕
Je ne sais pas à quelle période tu viendras (??) mais la Costa de la Luz vaut pour ses plages ... aprés l'arrière pays ... oui... bof ! A l'exception de Cadiz que j'aime bien surtout pour son ambiance, sinon on en fait vite le tour. Mais... il y a une "trotte" de Cadiz aux pueblos blancos.
Par contre, c'est mon opinion, toi qui n'aime pas la voiture, tu peux t'économiser le voyage jusqu'à Tabernas.
C'est une région désertique, il faut aimer la rando à pieds ou en 4x4, et ne pas y aller en été, ou alors on a l'impression de passer sont temps dans un micro-ondes 🤪
Quand au parc d'attraction, il reste quelques "vestiges" des décors des films de western des années 70 (Sergio Leone y a tourné ses succés), mais ce n'est pas Disneyland.
La solution d'un ou deux, voire trois, points fixes est, à mon avis, la bonne solution, ne serait ce que pour ne pas "flipper" avec les bagages et les incessants changements. Mais là aussi, la période à son importance.
Hasta luego 😎
PS : lorsque je voyageais avec des gens "malades" en voiture et en bateau, un copain pharmacien me donnait un produit qui s'est avéré trés efficace, car il supprimait ce mal et les personnes n'étaient pas "ensuquées" ... celà s'appelle VIAGGIO... un comprimé par jour suffisait.
Sinon, tu as le vieux remède des anciens marins, celui du bouquet de persil collé sur le nombril ... 😄... il parait que ça marche ... mais jamais essayé 😏
Lors d'un précédent voyage en Italie, l'agente de voyages nous avait conseillé de boire de l'eau embouteillée. Arrivée à Rome, surprise... plein de fontaines…
Ma question très simple est destinée aux voyageurs qui ont passé du temps en Janvier et Février en Andalousie et à Barcelone, doit on prévoir d'avoir des…
J'espère que quelqu'un pourra me renseigner... je part en janvier m'installer à Nerja et je me demande comment cela va se passer pour la poursuite de mon…
I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
My current plan is to get my teeth treated in Cuba, especially for dental implants.
Has anyone here had experience and could refer me to a good, affordable dentist?
I’d really appreciate it if you could give me an idea of the price for one implant, since I need at least 6 done.
Thanks so much!
