Рет қаралды 1,347
Күн бұрынThe Parador at Sos Del Rey blows us away with it's incredible hill top position, unspoilt medieval old town and amazing food. We use some faster roads to put distance from the Santander ferry and head for the mountains. Hope you enjoy following along. Chapters are below to help you navigate to your favourite section.
00:00 Leaving Santander heading towards Pamplona
00:30 Intro and is an Irish man following us??
01:35 Should we have avoided Spanish Toll Motorways? Let us know
02:15 Better roads heading towards the mountains
04:00 Fast group riding in Spain. How many mile/day do you do?
06:00 arriving at paradores.es/en/parador-de-so...
07:39 Our room at the parador-de-sos-del-rey-catolico
10:00 Parador-de-sos-del-rey-catolico walk around
11:34 The exterior of the Parador-de-sos-del-rey-catolico
13:22 Walk to the tower in Sos-Del-Rey-Catolico
16:15 The church at Sos-Del-Rey-Catolico
17:22 Sum up of the hotel and food. Dinner was 45 Euros each with wine
All the GPX route files, hotel information and details to copy this whole tour are in this dropbox. You may wish to extend the first days riding to avoid the tolls, but we wanted plenty of time to enjoy the Parador and it's amazing surroundings.

That looks beautiful, and that Parador is incredible Must've been nice to ride with so little traffic. Love your videos, you're both so relaxed and natural on camera. 👌👍

@tojj29 That Parador turned out to be one of our favourites of the trip. Amazing location. Food and service were spot on. The roads get way more dramatic on the next episode that I'm currently still editing. I think after riding together for over a decade, we are relaxed in most situations. I still don't enjoy seeing myself on camera 😕

We stayed in that parador in 2021. Fabulous accommodation. And the bar terrace is great! Unfortunately we arrived late-ish and didn't get much of a chance to explore the town. What we did see, we loved!

@theheroblob5036 it's difficult sometimes to get arrival times perfect for hotels, but Carol, being the planner she is opted for faster roads early in the day. This Parador is right up there compared to the ones we stop in later. What a location! Thanks for watching

Years back I stayed in a couple of stunning Paradors in northern Spain, like staying in a luxury museum, arranged the tour through Brittany ferries, fantastic trip.

Really enjoyed that, stirred up some great memories, lovely old town to explore and the parador looked lovely when all lit up at night. Yes, we too like to enjoy the journey and are more than happy to be like Captain Slow and not whizzing as fast as possible through 5 countries, each to their own I guess! Look forward to your next instalment as family commitments prevent us from touring this year.
