If you love mountain scenery with fantastic sweeping roads then this is the tour for you! Many areas of Northern Spain are mostly untouched by the hustle of today’s modern life and in many of the small sleepy villages you feel that time has passed them by. You will visit the spectacular gorges and mountains of the Picos de Europa, beautiful National park lands and remote unspoilt medieval villages and towns. The Picos de Europa is a miniature masterpiece: a mere 24 miles across in either direction and shoehorned in between three great river gorges including the Deva and Garganta.
The start and finish for the tour will be a fantastic four-star hotel in Limpias, northern Spain. This convenient location is just 28 miles from Santander, making it easy to get to if you're taking the ferry to Santander or Bilbao. Plus, for those of you transporting bikes, the hotel offers secure parking if you want to leave your van or trailer behind while we're on the tour. You can expect the same high standards of accommodation on this tour with relaxing stays at 4-star hotel accommodation each night. We'll only use the best minor roads that Spain has to offer and a support van will follow us throughout the tour, carrying your luggage and providing assistance if you need it…all the things that make us unique!
