Picos de Europa, Pyrenees, June - July
 

I'm heading down to the Picos de Europa and the coastal areas of Northern Spain in mid June, followed by a trip through the Pyrenees from west to east taking in as many of the best routes as I can. The Pyrenees have some of the best roads in Europe for biking. I'm going to be down there for about a month, from sometime around the 15th June through to mid July. I'll be camping. I'm riding a Vstrom. Anyone else going down there?

It seems that everyone wants to head for Mongolia or Kazakhstan but I'm doing Europe this year.

I`m heading there in Early October.

Would be interested to hear ideas about where to go.
I need to be in Murcia after 10 days so have plenty time to ride around.

I'll be long gone by October... if you want some advice about routes maybe try this website for ideas https://motorcycle-diaries.com/

Good evening from Bilbao, Spain, Vstromrider. Los picos de Europa are a great biking choice, you'll love it.
Here you are a lovely route starting at Cabezon de la Sal and ending at Potes:
Cabezon de la Sal, Carrejo, Ruente, Valle de Cabuerniga, Carmona, Puentenansa, La Hermida, Potes, La Vega, Portilla de la Reina, Riaño, Oseja de Sajambre, Cangas de Onis, Mestas de Con, Arenas de Cabrales, Panes, La Hermida, Potes.
Find those names at Google Maps and join them, and you'll have a lovely biking day.
If you need more info, just make me know.
Jorge.

Bautiful area to ride and great hospitatlity in the Picos. Potes makes a good base. Plenty of trails available and the passes should be clear of snow at that time too.

The roads down through the Pyreneses are stunning rides also.:scooter:

They are. There is no longer snow till november.

Thanks Bandit GS,

It's always good to have some local knowledge. I'll definitely follow your suggestions.

leaving 26th
 

After a few delays, I'm heading for Northern Spain next week, leaving on the 26th. I'll be in the area around the Picos de Europa for about a week, followed by a few weeks around the Pyrenees going from west to east. Anyone going that way is welcome to contact me.

I will probably be at Potes on saturday 30th.
