Spain/Portugal end of August
 

Hi
I am doing the top of Spain from Bilbao to A Coruna then the west coast down to the Algarve(stopping overnight in places) then up the middle of Spain to get the ferry back to England. Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.

Don't miss Picos de Europa man.

And if you have a bike can handle some gentle dirt, don't miss the route between Sotres and Espinama. Absolutely gorgeous, my top route of the Picos.

It doesn't show you on most maps, but I assure you it's there. Mostly just used by local farmers. Starts at the abandoned village just before Sotres (left dirt road at the fork by the village), runs for just maybe 12kms, down to Espinama, but it is fantastic.

My profile pic is from this road, good times! :scooter:
