Route ideas

I would think you'd have to pretty much hug the Mediterranean Sea and avoid higher ground if you are staying in Europe in mid winter.

I'll be riding in Europe for a couple of weeks at the end of December. I'm collecting a R1200GS in Barcelona and then going to do a circular route. I'm looking for some suggestions for roads to ride. I usually ride in Saudi Arabia, so I'm looking forward to the cool weather, but would like to avoid riding on icy and snowy roads. All help appreciated! The phot is from my afternoon ride to Al Uqair oasis today. Only 37°C.

Head south and stick to the coast. Morocco is a good idea.

...... Or go to morocco, although the Atlas Mountains get a lot of snow.

I went to Spain/Portugal in September last year and was hit by constant thunderstorms and flash flooding that killed 10 in the week I was there. My friend went the previous December and he had fantastic weather. So plan on a coastal route where it will be warmer, but head in and up as the weather allows. Follow the forecast and then check out This guide to plan your routes.
