The Trans-Pyrenean Route (Catalonia – Basque Country): The route that crosses the border between Spain and France has many variants, depending on the kilometers we want to cover. However, there is no wrong option: it is one of the star routes for motorcyclists.

One of the possible ways to do this route is to start in the Cabo de Creus Natural Park, in Girona, which includes several Catalan municipalities, such as Cadaqués, considered one of the most beautiful cities in the region. After traveling through the region of the Arán Valley and enjoying the beautiful villages (Vielha, Bosost, Salardú…), where you can stop for as long as you want to contemplate the contrast between the valleys and the mountains. The route ends in the Basque Country, for example in the municipality of Hondarribia, which has the best preserved walled city of Guipúzcoa. More than 600 kilometers in total, perfect for escaping the heat, being in the middle of nature and enjoying well-paved roads and breathtaking views.

It allows us to visit some of the most beautiful cities in Spain and enjoy landscapes as spectacular as those of the Jerte Valley in Extremadura (declared of Cultural Interest), or the beautiful Asturian mountains and valleys. Among the mandatory stops are Astorga, Salamanca, Béjar or Plasencia.
