The Magic of a Motorbike Trip to Spain

A wonderful experience! I discovered a whole world out there I never knew anything about -- interesting - and interested people, courtesy amongst the riders, courtesy to and from motorists, knowledge of history and cultures, languages and -- roads! Little secrets shared of where to find the best food, the best eye drops, the most comfortable camp sites or the cheapest fuel, excited accounts of experiences on hair pin bends, or of the temperature of the water in mountain pools...
I am ready for the next bike trip........ where are we going?


Excellent roads all the way, but not for the fainthearted - And always one who could not quite make it!

A lovely little post box on top of the mountain -- and my inquisitiveness could not be contained - and voila! the home of Shrek was discovered!


Exquisite scenery along the crest of the Pyrenees

Beautiful paella, Beautiful machines, Beautiful Spanish coastline, Beautiful art, little nooks and crannies -- and beautifully relaxing!

Figueres: The Dali Museum And even he liked red shoes!

Safely home!

    Sounds great! Just out of interest, which company did you use to sort out your bike insurance abroad?

    Good question ---
    As for insurance, (I see now why you asked the question!) -- our insurance was the normal insurance we already had and we just had to notify the insurers that we were taking the bikes to France and Spain - and we were covered at no extra cost.

    Happy biking -- and go safely!!
