Spain by bike - preview

September 2017 has approached fast and we are about to face a few firsts - a self guided, self sufficient cycling tour in Northern Spain, driving on the right in a European country, and a month of communicating in Español!
In the UK for the first week, we enter Spain at Galicia in Santiago de Compostela, and track eastwards by bike once we get to grips with panniers, GPS and any weather the 'rain in Spain' throws at us.
From Leon, it is north via two key national park areas (Picos, and Somiedo) in a rental car, and once in Gijon, getting another set of bikes, we then mount them for another 3 days of touring to Santander along the Atlantic coast.
With trained thighs by this time, we will hand over our bikes to Ibero cycles in late October, and re-join the roads to visit the wine region (La Rioja), the Pyrenees, and on to the Mediterranean coast at Barcelona.
