Riding Day 2: Soria to Pamplona

Byebye Soria, a nice place to stay but another beautifull place ,Pamplona, ist waiting for us, inbetween thousends of curves, and turns. Our day starts with a nice Ride throuh the "Reserva Nacional de Cameros" a beautifull peace of Nature, into the famous wine farming area "Rijoa" where we had lunch. And of course we learned something about wine.

Rest Day: Pamplona

we are in Pamplona now, a beautifull "little" city. World famous for the "Bullrun" event. 

But we are also interested in the roads arround....so you can also go for a ride, for example to San Sebastian. Like we did.

Keith can't get enouth pictures of the landscape

Riding Day 4: from Santo Domingo de la Calzada to Camasobres

Todays mission is to follow the river "Ebro" most time of our route is as curvy as the river itself. The landscape is changing a lot times this day.....so nice....and i'ts still even half of the Tour.

Riding Day 6: from León to Villafranca del Bierzo

 

Our day starts in Leon, after a fiew km of straight roads we turn again into a paradise for motorcycle riders. Curves and turns as far you can see…….wait….okay you can`t see so far ahead because of fog in the valleys of a nationall Park. Doesn`t matter after a fiew km the fog was gone and we had a beautiful view.

 

Another beautifull Day finish again a little closer to our target…Santigao de Compostella

Riding day 8: Santo Estevo to Santiago de Compostela

Our day starts a bit later because we would have enouth time to enjoy our Hotel in Santo Estevo. The first couple of kilometres are beutifull, the roads are a little bumpy but the view was spectecular. after a light lunch we continue our ride into Santiago de Compostela.... we did it

Of course, today is a rest day, but the real end of the Way of St. James is waiting for us. The Cabo Fisterra. For the Romans it was the end of the world. Of course, some of our friends do not want to miss this.

Riding Day 10: from Verin to Salamanca

this morning there was a whiff of burning smell in the air. In the region where we are traveling there was a huge forest fire. During the first half of the route, the smoke was omnipresent. From Braganca cleared so slowly the haze. Salamanca we come
