- gasoline in Europe is too expensive (twice the price than in the US, all taxes)
- it is a 3-4 hour flight vs a 3 day drive
- driving you will cross at least 4 countries, and even tough people will speak some english, after travelling 3 days the last thing you want to deal with is language barrier
- you could think of going by train, but there is no direct train Madrid - Stockholm. You need to go from Madrid to Barcelona, then Barcelona - Paris, then Paris - Frankfurt, then Frankfurt - Hamburg, then Frankfurt - Koebenhavn, then Koebenhavn - Stockholm... I am sure this will be 10 times more expensive than a simple flight
So, go to www.rumbo.com, and look for the best direct flight
