I am putting the feelers out to see is there is any interest in another trip to the warmer climate and great roads that Spain has to offer.
The trip Tony and I did taking in some of the Pyrenees has got me wanting to go back to see more. The timing and duration of the trip would be similar, so 10 ish days end September/ beginning of October, using the ferry routes to get to either Santander or Bilbou
The ferry is the big cost but there was only 2 of us in a 4 berth cabin, so could be cheaper, then factor in a bit less than €50/night accommodation based on sharing a twin room, the petrol for 200 miles per day plus beer and food.
Location could be either more Pyrenees or Picos

Re: Spain 24
the trick with the ferry is to book early and get 4 sharing a four berth cabin.

Re: Spain 24
My plan for this years Spain trip is to copy the route that these guys called “Motorcycle Diaries” used in this great biking video.

I copied the freeze frame picture from the film of the route And reverse engineered it to establish all the actual roads they used to make this GPS version

My vision is to cross into France on the train, ride down to the Biarritz area, do the route heading south through the Pyrenees, then go back up through Spain and catch the boat back from Santander.
Stopping each night in a different village
It will be 2 weeks of heaven
