North Western Spain 2003

Great trip for 10 days on the old ZZR, only covered 2000 miles, but this was more about taking in the views rather than hard riding. Caught the over night boat from Portsmouth to Bilbao, smooth sailing both ways :). We road from Bilbao  round the Picos De Europa to the most western point of Galicia and back. Known for it's great sea food, cider, beaches, weather and  views this area is a must if you get the chance. Just remember your Spanish phrase book, as this is not a popular tourist area and there was little English spoken

Medieval town of Santiago, Had a great night tasting the local brew, and listening to the music 

 

View from tent in the campsite, we had the highest spot, only because cars could not make it up the steep tack to the top
