Things to bear in mind before embarking on the adventure

It is logical that the summer season is the best time of year to go adventureYou will pass through very high altitudes that are usually snow-covered during the rest of the year. Even so, I advise you to check the weather forecast every day before you set off on the mountainThe most frequent occurrence of thunderstorms, hailstorms or heavy rainfall is in the Pyrenees.

2. Planning of the conference

I advise you to be clear each day about the kilometres you are going to ride and the place where you are going to stay. It is true that along the way you can park your motorbike, walk along a path, take a dip in a lake or climb up a mountain. But I recommend that you don't travel more than 250 kilometres a day. As for accommodation, whether hostels, guesthouses or hotels where you will spend the nights, I recommend you book in Spain. Mainly because they are cheaper and, in addition, if you have any problems or needs, they will be able to attend to you better.
