Flying through Spain

Greetings all.

I am planning a trip from London to Morocco this year and am planning to fly down to the south of France and along the southern coast of Spain.

Having never flown in or through Spain, I wondered whether anyone had any experience of general aviation at the following airports:

Alicante (LEAL)
Almeira (LEAM)
Barcelona (LEBL)
Malaga (LEMG)
Valencia (LEVC)
Reus Tarragona (LERS)
Costa Brava (LEGE)
(** or any other suitable GA airfields along the southern Spanish coast for VFR flights)

We'll navigate along the coast, primarily for the scenery and terrain avoidance but also to make life easy for the less experienced members of the group.

I'm particularly keen to hear whether anyone has any experiences of the above airfields (good or bad) regarding fuel availability, ease of getting in and out (for quick enroute stops), nearby hotels, GA access, etc.

I'm already on to the Spanish AIP website which is very useful.

Thanks in advance!
