In southern France the circuit around the Gorge du Verdon and further west the Gorge du Tarn are magnificent places. Before crossing the Pyrenees to Spain check out the old town of Carcasonne. Wonderfully medieval !
Most of central Spain is very scenic, but my favourite is Andalucia. In the northern parts the pilgrimage trail to Santiago de Compostela is nice. Some beautiful old towns like Burgos, Leo and Santiago (cathedral). Last not least the Picos de Europa.
When returning to visit the Alps, one of the greatest tours is along the "Route des Grandes Alpes" is an absolute "must". You can find lots of information in the internet on this route. It takes you over all the major mountain passes of the French Alps. Very impressive!
Enjoy!
