Pyrenees & Paradors 2024 Sos del Rey Catolico we ride towards the mountains. In High def 4K
Рет қаралды 1,694
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.

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

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 😕

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.

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.

Lovely accommodation, nice if you can afford it. The fantastic roads and views are free though. Spanish roads are miles better than ours in the UK but they are not perfect. Even the road Carol was describing as so smooth it actually had cracks in it and looked like it had started to deteriorate. On the whole Spanish roads are far superior to ours in the UK but I have still ridden some bad ones in the Picos and Asturias. French, Swiss and German roads are better still. You certainly realise what a dump the Uk has become in recent years when you return from Spain, France or Switzerland.

@@alexmorgan3435 Yep, the roads were far from perfect but way better than the national disgrace at home. We wouldn't normally spend big on hotels on tour but Carol wanted it to be a bit special for my 60th, so we went with the Parador theme
@alexmorgan3435 14 күн бұрын
@@Banditmanuk Agreed. And why not spend a little more if you can? Sadly I can't at the moment. It looked like you and Carol had made some good choices. The second parador with the restaurant with the panoramic view looked awesome and the food exquisite. Those really long straight roads in Spain possibly Roman roads, are so easy to go fast on. I find i really have to watch my speed easy to creep well over 100-120kmh. I had a few cars pass me even when I was riding at 130-135-140kmh on them in the middle of nowhere.
