France & Spain: On this tour we will cover approximately 2500 miles from the time we land at Calais or Caen to the time we board the ferry again.

Through small french villages in valleys and high up in the mountains and down to Spain, seeing coast and mountains. Fantastic french food and Spanish hospitality.

Starting with the ferry crossing to either Calais or Caen depending on dates, this journey will take us South for 3 days through Normandy and passing through the Loire valley,

and the Pyrenees and then across the border to Spain on the 4th day.

Once into Spain we head for Pamplona, famous for the "Running of the bulls" event. We spend 2 nights here in Pamplona so we can either take a day off from riding and just enjoy the local surroundings and sunshine or ride out locally.
