Starting in Barcelona, the route begins by crossing the vast plains of Catalonia before heading into the mountains. Leaving the hustle and bustle of the city behind. The route takes us across vast plains to Balaguer, where the landscape begins to transform. As you climb, fresh air and spectacular views accompany you until you reach Canfranc, famous for its historic international railway station. An ideal stop to relax after an exciting day of curves and changing landscapes.
The day begins in the mountains, we start the day by driving along the winding roads that descend towards the valley, where the Pyrenees begin to open up. We will then descend along winding roads towards the valleys of Navarre. On the way, discover the cultural richness of Pamplona before continuing on to Hondarribia, where the Atlantic welcomes you with its cool breeze and gives us a breathtaking view. Stroll through its walled old town and savour the famous Basque pintxos in a charming setting.

Crossing the border, the roads take you through picturesque French villages such as Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, with its sloping-roofed houses and cobbled streets. Narrow, well-maintained roads lead through rolling hills and dense forests. We pass through quiet villages where time seems to stand still, enjoying the French rural charm. Finally, we reach Oloron-Sainte-Marie, a small town at the foot of the Pyrenees with a rich cultural and architectural heritage, ideal for exploring after a relaxing day on the bike.
This is an epic day in the mountains Today you will cross legendary passes such as the Tourmalet and the Col d'Aubisque, iconic roads of the Tour de France. The challenging bends and panoramic views are every biker's delight. You will arrive in Vielha, in the Val d'Aran, surrounded by mountains and with the opportunity to enjoy traditional dishes such as olla aranesa.

We bid farewell to Vielha and head towards Andorra, where the mountains dominate the horizon and the roads invite you to enjoy every bend. The mix of slopes and valleys gives us a vibrant ride, with stops in high mountain villages that offer warmth and local gastronomy. Rolling towards Andorra, you pass through high mountain landscapes with welcoming villages that invite you to stop and enjoy the local hospitality. After exploring the modern streets of Andorra, the road continues to Puigcerdá, a charming Catalan enclave with panoramic views and a rich gastronomic offer. This charming Pyrenean village, with its lake and panoramic views, is an ideal place to relax the body after an impressive tour.
We start the day descending along a mountain road that winds through green landscapes, challenging our driving skills. We cross back into France along country roads until we reach Macanet de Cabrenys, a charming village where nature is the main protagonist. Back in Spain to continue to Cadaqués, surrounded by views of the Mediterranean. The route takes you along rural and mountain roads towards the Mediterranean coast. The arrival in Cadaqués is unforgettable: a picturesque seaside village that inspired DalÃ, with its bohemian air and stone streets. Dine by the sea and enjoy the flavours of the Mediterranean while reflecting on your adventure.
The last stage takes us along the Catalan coast. We say goodbye to Cadaqués, passing through typical fishing villages before heading into a mountainous stretch until we reach Palamós. There we start with the famous 365 curves of Tossa de Mar, a mythical stretch for any biker, where every turn offers views of the sea. We continue enjoying the sea breeze and the scent of pine trees, riding along beaches and small coastal villages. As you approach Barcelona, every kilometre will remind you why this trip will be unforgettable.
