Hello
I've managed to steal 4 months of freedom from work this coming winter.
Unfortunately, I'm forced to take those in winter/spring. So that leaves me with february to may (might be able to do march to june).
My itinerary (I'm trying to follow good weather), looks like this at the moment:
- South of Spain (Andalusia), where I will buy the bike
- Morroco
- Portugal
- France, med coast
- Italy
- ferry to Greece
- (maybe push to Turkey if time permits)
- return through Croatia
- the Alps
- the Pyrenees
- Finish in Spain to sell my steed.
For the moment I was looking at buying a road bike, so all tarmac.
Cheap hotels and hostels dormitories, Eat in grocery stores, but also the occasional local delicacies in pub/restaurant.
The focus of the trip is seeing the land, the cities and the attractions. Going to bed early and hitting the road early, with the occasional fiesta.
This is a rough plan nothing is set in stones, I'm open to suggestion.
I speak french, english and good enough spanish.
Oh and I'm 36 year old, if that's of any importance to you.
Thank you for reading.
