Besides the Pic Negre in Andorra, this ride was supposed to be the second absolute highlight of the tour, but should I really be able to do it with the rattling motorcycle? This was the last impressive experience on the TET in Northern Spain, which I rode with the Aprilia Tuareg 660 as part of 7 weeks through Southwest Europe on ACT Pyrenees, TET Spain, ACT Portugal. I shared the daily experiences on Facebook and Instagram under Iberico 2022.
A few years ago I saw a KZfaq video with a shot from the Picos de Europa, an incredibly bizarre and fantastic trail through this breathtaking mountain world, of course that was a big tick on the to-do list. The entrance to Poncebo the day before already promised a lot, but as soon as I turned onto the only legally passable track through the Picos de Europa, from Sotres to Espinama, I kept taking my breath away. The rock walls are unique, only comparable to the Dolomites, this gravel road meanders through a valley, after a hamlet it is surprisingly rugged in parts, with thick scree, in a few hairpins high up to a plateau, which is much more than a high ridge in between 2 rock faces turned out to be simply indescribable.
After a steep descent, Espinama was reached, but continuing from Fuente De towards Santa Marina de Valdeón was forbidden, so I only had a detour of 75km, but that didn't stop me from driving deep into the Canyon des Cares to Caín again and for dessert there was another short detour to Sobrefoz, the little street in the rock face is also breathtaking.
The last day of driving this TET Northern Spain took me from León to Ponferrada, unfortunately with far too little off-road, too often I was scared with the TET, but still beautiful through the Somiedo Nature Park.
If you like the video, I would be happy if you subscribe and give me a like and now sit back and enjoy!
