Am leaving tomorrow, heading to Portsmouth to catch the 36 hour crossing to Bilbao in northern Spain. 8 of us going, on 2 x 1290 SAS, S1000XR, a forty year old BMW RT of some description and me on the Super Tenere, there’s also a lady making her way there in a car. We have two properties booked for a week, in the mountains, where we will do daily trips from. After a week they’ll all head back and I’m heading to the Pyrenees for another week.

When time allows, I’ll post some updates and some photos.

Have a great time, when I lived in the UK, we used to love taking the ferry to Spain and then ride in the mountains.. now I live in Texas so have to make do with driving to Colorado and riding in the mountains!
stay safe and be sure to post some pictures..

Buenos dias compañero ,decirte que si no has estado nunca en los Pico de Europa te va encantar,yo voy el fin de semana del 15 al 17 de Julio,he ido varias veces y es uno de mis sitios preferidos.
Imaguino que ya tendras planeada la ruta pero te recomindo un mirador que me gusta mucho ,Mirador de santa catalina donde podras ver todo el desfiladero de la Hermida.
Disfruta de tu viaje un saludo.

We actually have two properties about 50 yards apart. The bigger one sleeps 8, the smaller sleeps 6. Both are in Bobia De Abajo, near ish to Cangis de Onis. The village is very small, very olde world and quiet. Perfect for us.

Very hot today, showing a max of 34 on the dash. Did a run of about 150 miles up into the mountains, absolutely beautiful here in the Picos and Asturias. Visited Riano and then lunch in Cain De Valdeon, both really nice and some (mostly) cracking biking roads. Was a good day! I’m uploading mostly phone pics, will take a while to have camera pics sorted. Internet here isn’t great, pics slow to load.
