I'll be arriving in Spain again on July 1st, will all the signs be changed back again?

Hi Mark,

Yes, I think so. In March they put the signs up overnight and I think most were temporary overlays!

I guess the thing to do is check the signs before you ride on a given stretch - remember this is only the dual carriageways and motorways, all of the other roads remained the same anyway - there are also many sections of both that have speed restrictions anyway, but these are always signed.

Really useful blog, Simon the spanishbiker. Thanks for your shared effort.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for this - hope you can follow my meanderings as I do a somewhat Quixotic trip around Spain* - I'm at an amazing place called AlbarracĂ­n now for three nights - then whooping it up in Madrid with a very rareified crowd of cool jazz groupies at the weekend! After that on to Portugal and the wilds of Galicia!

Talking of which - I like your quote from Jorge Luis Borges -heavy reading for a biker!

Caio!

Simon
* no, not that kind of trip - not these days!
