Featured Touring Spain 2022

Glad you're both having fun, keep the photos and reports coming

 

Will do, Dougie!

 

One word for today - brilliant!
We set off early-ish so as to beat the heat. Our route took us up a pass through the Pyrenees, into France. Fantastic roads, stunning scenery.


Onwards and upwards...


Nice little coffee stop.

Coming back into Spain.

Back at the hotel!

Today's route, 170 miles all told.

 

Yes what a cracking day. Comfortable up in the mountains, but 30c plus once we dropped out. To hot to be comfortable.

 

@Vulpes: Thanks for the great pictures!

 

Cheers Markus!

 

Day 7.
We left Jaca heading for Vielha in the poring rain. Didn’t stop for pictures cause it was to wet. lol
Arrived around noon and was surprised that we could check in to the hotel. Out now for lunch and a beer.

 

Yep Steve said it all, lol.

 

If it's just about the pictures, looks like you spend more time eating and drinking than riding (and that's perfectly acceptable)

 

Today's route, 110 miles.

 

Pizza tonight then... yous really are doing @andypandy justice with the food stops

 

That looks tasty and i bet the Estrella Galicia went down a treat

 

That was a great burger, and yes, the Estrella is very nice indeed!

 

Just off for a beer here...

 

@Sandi T might appprove, too...

 

Pretty at night, Vielja.

 

Yes pizza it was for me.
A lot more water in the river and reservoirs here in the mountains than lower down in the foothills, which were very low on water. Spain needs rain and a lot of it, just not in the next few days. Well not until I’m on my ferry home and @Vulpes is back in Holland.

 

Reading this at work, broken down on the a96. Cold and hungry watching my early finish, slip away. Have a great trip guys.

 

Feeling for you, James! Hopefully you'll get rescued soon!

 

I'm only about a mile from a lovely little tea room. Tantalus
