Spain / Picos / Pyrenees
Hello everyone, planning is well underway for this years trip to Spain and Pyrenees so again, was going to throw this out there in the hope someone in the know replies and has all the answers, and helps others as well who may also be heading out there soon.
When our ferry docks in Bilbao, we plan to travel to the Picos and have a hotel booked in Ojedo, we stay there for 2 nights and have a large loop of the Picos planned whilst there.
The question I have are as follows:
1 - On arriving at Bilbao, I see that we can either take the coast route down or go via the Cantabrian mountains area. Can anyone advise the most preferable and advisable from their experience.
2 - Following these initial 3 days we plan to travel up to the Pyrenees area and over to Nice / Cannes area. Again, can anyone advise best routes from Picos to Cannes area - any advice appreciated.
I realise that we could spend weeks in Spain alone but we only have 7 nights and sail home from Caen so basically 7 days of riding between the Picos and Caen - thats the plan.
So, if you have been and can offer advice - chip in - its much appreciated and the assistance I have gained from this site previously would suggest that the advice received is usually spot on.
Thanks in advance
