Tourinfo - Pyrenees: Rock Žn Roll
Overview
The Pyrenees are the natural border between the iberian peninsular and the rest of the european continent. A massive and extremely beautiful mountain range, the ideal scenery for this adventure.
The diversity of the different days during this journey is one of the most interesting aspects of this trip. We find everything packed into 7 days of joy and riding adventure. Beginning at the metropolis that Barcelona has become in the last decade we travel north through the beautiful prepyrenees and catalonian countryside. We discover the painteresque fisher village that Dalí used to visit in Summer, travel on towards the high peaks of the natural parks that hide in the heart of the Pyrenees. Endless curve tracks bring us along rivers and canyons to our daily destinations. We enter old valleys where small villages receive us with their beauty and mysterious culture. Interesting, big fun and challenging for every biker - lets rock Žn roll !
The tour offers complete motorcycling pleasure on small quiet roads through stunningly beautiful scenery. The roads throughout the entire route are asphalted. The comfort of a 3* to 4* hotel (Parador) awaits us after a day's riding.
