I think this is on my list for a “must do” ride/tour. Ive never been to Spain but Id like to. Its a 5 day dualsport ride in the Pyrenees. This particular tour there is no camping. First and last night are at a hotel. The middle nights are at little haciendas in the mtns.
Its fairly low budget. No chase trucks. Carry your own stuff. (But that should be minimal w/ hotels).
The tour doesnt rent bikes. Need to bring your own.
It looks like you could fly to Barcelona. Found a place that rents Honda CRF250Ls, then ride up to start point.
Ive only been able to find a few short vids. The riding doesnt look hard if you are a dirtbike rider. More of a beautiful dualsport tour in the mountains.

Spain is SUPER! Many years ago GAIL and I did a low budget non-profit Tandem Bike group tour starting in Barcelona and going up the ridge of the Pyrenes to Biarritz with low budget overnight stops - except for one in Fabulous Castle! We have since done the same route in the other direction on the Goldwing. It was wonderful and Barcelona is a REALLY fun place with TONS of stuff to do/see/eat!

That looks absolutely amazing! I don't know that I could do a 2024 date, but this is definitely something I'd be interested in.

Re: Dualsporting Spanish Pyrenees
Im looking at this in 2025.
Offroad riding is pretty big in Spain. We could probably look harder if you want to rent something a little better than a CRF250L.
