Fuengirola Supercharger (well, rooftop)
Its Science and Art City is an architectural masterpiece. We spent two nights in a great hotel in the center before pushing towards Andorra (465km) in one go.

Our next destination: Andorra
To reach Andorra from Valencia, the last one or two hundred kilometres are national roads, twisted and narrow, with breathtaking Pyrinean mountain views. Andorra itself was disappointing: A tax free village in decline. Great for hiking and wintersports, no doubt, but not with the almost 40 degrees all over (and not much less in Andorra, in spite of its 1000 m elevation).
So, next day, with the heat wave in Europe, we decided to run home. Only stopping a minimum for charging and spending a night at the hotel of the Orleans supercharger, we arrived home to an apartment at 33 degrees.
It seemed the best thing to do when any outdoor activity such as visiting a city is unbearable in 40 degrees and the Tesla airco is great. Driving so much in a day is OK, the autopilot does almost all the work, some supervision is always needed, but it is much more relaxing than driving myself. Around Paris there were the usual slow-downs where the autopilot just does all the work. No accelerating, breaking, stopping, going, all automatic.
Any worries about charging, any issues with the car?: Zero. The charging infrastructure is excellent now. While petrol stations along highways are every 50 km and chargers are located only every 150 to 250 km, you need to plan a bit more but the car and/or abetterrouteplanner.com do it for you. No science degree needed.
