I'm on my way back now. Hotel in Ainsa. One more overnight then Bilbao. It's been as good as ever. And Alonso's museum

Two weeks driving great roads in the Pyrenees and Picos areas of Spain. Looking forard.

Just testing.

Before I opened the thread I knew it would feature a Pork. That's why I stopped my subscription.

Twenty two percent of GTR owners have re-mapped their cars to give around 560 hp and a further twenty eight percent have theirs re-mapped to give 650 hp so in the real world....

I'd be interested in hearing about this as I am considering a similar trip in 2017. I would like to know about the state of the roads, hotel prices, and language problems if any.

Day 12 tomorrow. Only 10 more left. Heading up to a border town north of Pamplona from Vielha on some of the most iconic and stunning roads in the Pyrenees and possibly some of the best in Europe.

Watched the 3rd round of the Blancpain series at Circuit du Castellet yesterday. Fantastic result for Nissan finishing 5th out of 54 starters leaving behind a whole slew of so called super cars including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, Aston Martins, Audis and some Mclarens. Made my day. And a view

In the heart of the Tarn region near Clermont l'Herault today. Although there have been some rough roads on the French side of the Pyrenees, the ones today were brilliant. Billiard table smooth; some with fast flowing bends and others tight and twisty.

Day 1 Following the coast up to Biarritz from Bilbao then turning inland to destination at St.Jean le Vieux for the French leg of the Pyrenees tour.

On Brittany Ferries at the moment. Passed the Pointe de Roscoff about 2 hours ago. Scheduled arrival in Santander tomorrow is 14:15

Spain/Portugal - June/July France - September Black Forest - October

Spotted yesterday queue jumping exiting the A14 onto the A11, grey 350, personal reg begiinng with C, exiting onto A11 initialy, then jumping into the A1303 lane and overtaking about 7 cars before bulldozing back into the A11 lane. Hope he's not on this forum. Gives everyone else a bad name.

I finally decided to scrap ideas for southern Spain as it looked difficult to put together consistently good roads and find hotels with character and charm that also had secure and accessible parking. So, back to the Pyrenees, France and green Spain. 3 weeks and two days with 3 layovers and taking in the Blancpain race at Paul Ricard. Here's the route. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=z1ahuj2hTEPI.kh8oRsg_Z_ek&usp=sharing

17days to 3 weeks.
