We buy things we don't need



With money we don't have



To impress people we don't even like

I know, I've only been twice, once to each end as it were but I'll be back as I've not seen even a fraction that's there yet.

The roads, the weather, the scenery, the tapas, want more?

Was there last November, 25c and wall to wall blue sky.

That looks super, I'll be in the area on the way back from Hiss in May. Any trail routes to recommend? This one looks good:

And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

I don't think there's a lot of offpiste trailriding anymore

Certainly the bit from the San Gloria pass, past the Bear Statue to Espinama is Verboten - we were chased off that one by local Police and Park Rangers in 2009

I think the Sotres trail is still ok

Local Police use WR250R's to chase off trail riders from once previously usable trails

Happening all over over Europe - trail riding is not popular with the authorities anymore

Well I'm sure the roads will be just as much fun if I'm turned away from the trails.
