Mood: Firing on all 4 !!
Ooh ooh been here a couple of times a year for the last 4 and know a few nice roads that way now.
firstly what bike are you taking ? first time i took my old 916. heat killed it in the end so be carefull.
secondly, goto santander, quicker boat thats nicer to travel in by far. the old pride of bilbou is a shed and needs scrapping IMO
Right, get yourself a map, there is a road in northern spain the tremp road which is between puente de montanana to tremp. its a mountain pass with hairpins, great visability and grip and no traffic. but no run off either. mate fired his 636 B1H between the road and armco.
Also the N260 from sort to adrall is astounding.
there are so many superb roads around this area, but for what its worth, avoid andorra, its a congested hot dusty building site. go the other way round into france via borg madame, much nicer more fun route.
stop in ax le thermes and relax with your feet in the sulphur pool.

seriously, if your a number short and are happy to have a NC30 tagging along let me know.

If you stop at Jaca don't park anywhere dodgy the civil police love bikes parked on the pavement, I Know with a 35 Euro on spot fine

Enjoy the roads best I've ever been on.

Spanish side of the Pyrenees-runs from Puigcerga just east of Andorra to Sabinanigo which is just west of the Ordesa national park. According to my autoroute it is 196 miles long-and worth the ride-it basically goes along the foot of the Pyrenees.

The D119 from Mont Louis to Axat is a great road too.
The C roads going east from Tremp across to Berga are superb too (C1412, L511, L401, LV4241), if the weather is good and you like your roads twisty

We're heading over this area in late June.

Another vote for Jaca here, although I have some bad memories of a late night bar that we were later told was a nockin shop :|

If you want to see vids of these roads, Nigel my OH (who some may remember from this site) has put links up to them on my website here:

We have lived down here for about 5 years now, and still never tire of these amazing roads
