I'm doing a road Trip in Northern Spain in June and was hoping i could gather some info on the Best Driving Roads.

We will be North East and around Andorra for 3/4 days.

looking on Google Maps and Good Street Maps the N 260 looks good which runs all the way back to the coast at Roses.

Thoughts?

The N260 is indeed a brilliant road (slightly abrasive surface so expect tyre wear!).

You could head West on the N260 then return to Andorra by crossing over into France and doing the D918, D921, D918 then D618, following all the classic tour de France cols including the d'Aubisque and Tourmalat - Michelin star their best cols on their local 1:150000 maps these days....

At Andorra make sure you do the Port d'Envalira.

Heading out of Spain, the D118 towards Carassonne is a good road.
