Күн бұрын

Join an adventurous motorcycle road trip to the Spanish mountain range Picos de Europa - the summits of Europe.
Only 20 kilometers from the Atlantic coast of Spain, there is a picturesque rugged mountain chain. A beautiful inhabited National Park - and one of the places that I visited before, but that I had a big urge to return to: The Picos de Europa.
Here are the highlights, best places to stay and best roads to travel when visiting Picos de Europa Nationalpark:
00:00 Introduction to the Picos de Europa National Park
01:50 The most scenic route for traveling to the Picos de Europa from east - CA-282
02:11 N621 in the Picos de Europa is a great motorcycle road - especially the southern section to Riano
03:39 At the village Panes we turned onto route AS 114 - and drove another curvy detour on route AS 345 on the way to our hotel
04:41 A charming village to stay over night: Las Arenas
05:40 Start of our offroad adventure!
06:35 At tLas Arenas we crossed Rio Casano and continued on route AS 264, that takes you to the starting point of one of the most famous hiking routes in Spain: Ruta del Cares
08:34 Best village to stay over night in the Picos de Europa: Sotres
09:19 Offroad from Sotres to Espinama
11:45 Bummer! We had to turn around! Find out why!

Beautiful!! I rode extensively from Santander to Noia in Galicia zigzagging between the coast and the interior for 3 months. I rode from London to Plymouth then boat. I was on a Piaggio X9 250 in 2003. I loved it so much I moved to Spain a year later and been here since.

Spain looks ideal for biking all year round. Here in the UK it's not great biking weather, so we enjoy watching your European tour with relish.

Hi! I just had to watch this video again because we visited Picos de Europa yesterday and walked along the beautiful Ruta del Cares. We were surprised by how few people there were, having expected hoards of tourisits. It was cloudy and rain had been forecast, but it turned out to be mostly rain-free afterall. A spectacular day out.- hope to retun some day on my Honda.

You travelled through one of the best places in northern Spain. Picos de Europa is a very special place to know, whether if you ride a bike or go walking. The only problem is that fog can appear anytime 'cause there are mountains and rivers everywhere and it is too easy to find clouds and moisture in any moment. Ride safe & have fun. I'm a Cantabrian motorcycle rider.

You stayed in the same town as we did (Las Arenas) when we spent a week there some years ago. We stayed at the Hotel Torrcerredo which I can recommend as one of the owners (Jim Thomson) is English which always helps when in Northern Spain. Thanks for showing us your visit to that lovely area even if it was short. Ride safe.

Sounds good - we unfortunately didn’t stay in Las Arenas though because everything was booked and had to go to another hotel that I didn’t name in my video because we didn’t like it too much …
