An odyssey from the Mediterranean sea to the Atlantic ocean through four different Spanish regions, Catalonia, Aragon, Navarra, and Basque Country with a short visit to the Principality of Andorra.
The tour begins with the Catalan climbs of the Pyrenees, an important passage of the Spanish Vuelta. Then continues to the hilly and undiscovered area of Aragon, which is riddled with the rich heritage of Romanesque architecture. Finally, you pass through the Basque mountains and finish your journey at the stark blue Bay of Biscay.
The mix of languages, cultures, customs, and culinary surprises all in one country will make this tour a must travel adventure.
Tour Essence
- Experience the difference between regional cuisines, from the Catalan to the Basque style
- Ride where champions train and race
- Discover Spanish wines
- Visit majestic monuments of the Romanesque time
