Tour of the Pyrenees

Castelldefels, just South of Barcelona, is our gateway to the Pyrenees, a mountain range which forms a natural border between Spain and France. It features many peaks of 10,000 ft. or more, lots of remote wilderness and many miles of fantastic motorcycling roads.

Right after leaving the coast we get to see the famous abbey of Montserrat, a 1,000-year-old monastery. Further inland, more history-laden places such as Cardona and La Seu d‘Urgell are on our way before we enter the micro-nation and shopping paradise of Andorra. Riding over the Col de Puymorens, we arrive in France, where we spend our rest day in the stunning town of Carcassonne, delightfully enclosed by medieval walls and lined with picturesque alleys. The next day we take the way back to Spain, through untouched nature and with nearly no traffic.

We leave the Pyrenees behind and take the way down to the seaside. Between Sant Feliu and Lloret de Mar, one of Europe‘s greatest coastal roads sweetens our last day and bids us farewell. Back in Castelldefels, we will recall the past few days with a glass of red wine. Man, what a tour!
