To celebrate my 60th this September I am going to ride with an old school friend from my home (in Padstow) to his home (in Nerja just along the coast from Malaga).
We have already ridden from the UK down through France to the Spanish border… but we have never crossed Spain from NE to SW.
I wondered if anyone out there had any advice and guidance regarding a route.
We want to complete the Spanish part of our ride in 11/12 days - so about 60 miles a day.
I was thinking of going very roughly in as straight a line as possible - from Bayonne across the Pyrenees to Pamplona and then via Calahorra, Carracosa del Campo, Tomelloso, Ubeda, Valdepenas, Granada to Nerja
We have previously ridden from Santander to Malaga which was fantastic and again we are aiming for quiet rural back roads with little traffic (we hate busy trucker routes), as few hills/mountains as possible (wishful thinking I know!!), and a truly rustic Spanish experience!
Any help that anyone could give would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Allan
