Featured Touring Me & Andy's Spanish Road Trip

The dates from Cork didn't suit but it would have been better if it did

 

It was hearing about how you said how good the roads were there that made me want to go there!

 

Had a brilliant days ride on the C26 fun fun fun absolute classic road it took us onto the N260 where our Hotel for the night is.

Coffee break


No photos of the C26 as we didn't stop as it was non stop twisties ,this is on another road

Meet Alan (Smilinjack) and his wife a couple of nights ago for a Pizza,he recommended a great route for us to take after the Moto GP it took us on an old rope ferry,posted this pic earlier and tried to edit it but deleted it!




Reminded me of Monument Valley in the US

 

Cut of the N260 to do a loop of Andora, before rejoining it
I wanted to see the ski resorts and Andy wanted to get a new bag as he had knackered his old one by dragging it behind his bike for a mile or so! Did a repair job with Gaffa Tape (which was really expensive to buy in Spain)

I had looked at staying at this hotel when I was booking all the hotels on booking.com but there were no rooms available, passed it today and the reason there were no rooms was it was shut for the season!
Various pics on the N260


Stopped of for a break, anyone translate what the sign says!










Still more of the N260 to do tommorow,

 

A few other pics

 

Not sure I thought it might be no sh*t as seemed to be a lot of tissues laying about!

 

Just finished the N260 today and took the Nc135 into France another brilliant really twisty road, Andy got a text tonight from ferry company,our ferry to Cork from Santander on thursday night has been cancelled as there is forecast storms, so we have to travel up to Roscof for the ferry on Friday meaning we are going to have to stay another night in France. we will head up just north of Nantes for the night then hopefully find a scenic route from there to the ferry the next day.
Few pics from today
Coffee stop




Famous bridge I think!





We both agreed the first half of the N260 (the east side ) was much better than the 2nd half of the N 260 . It's hard to say if the east part of the N 260 is better than the Picos or not, we loved both of them, but we were a bit disappointed with the last 200 miles or so of the N260 probably because we had been spoiled with so many brilliant roads before.
it's just a shame we have to travel up to Roscof tommorow as we had a good route planned to take us to Santander

 

Back to wo*k today after a brilliant road trip with Andy,just over 3600 miles (5800 kms). Spain has amazing biking roads, if you can manage you really should go
