So...I'd never been to Spain
But I kinda like the twisties
Say the riders are insane there
And they sure know how to ride there
(My license) I'm gonna abuse it
Hope I don't lose it
I can't refuse it.
So with that cheesy intro, I thought I'd share my trip in June of 2019 to northern Spain with my TWT family. The trip lasted 10 days and ran from Barcelona on the Mediterranean to San Sebastian at the Atlantic ocean and back. Oh yeah, and those Pyrenees mountains are kinda in the middle there.
This was part of an organized tour with IMTBIKE. I rode a BMW GS 750, which worked out well for me. This and the 1250GS were the most common choices followed by a couple of XR1000's. They were a wonderful company to work with and we had excellent accommodations.
I finally got some editing software to convert that Gopro footage into videos. I'm not really a computer guy, but I'm learning the system and what I can do as I start this project. I make no promises, but if you continue to follow along, you should notice rapid progress in my skills. The first one was pretty minimal but at least its short. I have just the one camera (bought for this trip) and it was mounted either off the left mirror or on the chin bar of my helmet. I had no thought of making some big production out this, just something for me to look back on later. But the roads and scenery are awesome so I thought I'd share.
I have a few videos done at the time of this writing and more will come as I find the time. There's no walking around talking or even talking while I'm riding, just a focus on the roads there. I'm be happy to answer any questions, but for the time being I'll let the video do the talking.
We started the trip by riding NW out of Barcelona on the highway and eventually turned NE onto some secondary roads. This video captures that as we get our first taste of that Spanish road goodness.
We turn north at Tossa De Mar on the GI-682, which is known in these parts as the "Road of the Year" for its 365 curves and ended at our hotel overlooking the sea.
On Day 2 we plotted our course NW inland towards hillier terrain.
