Heading to Spain for Easter

[d11fdj]

Greetings, comrades. I've spent a few months planning, researching and waiting for Easter holidays to arrive. And finally, tomorrow morning I'll drive down to Portsmouth and put my 997.2 onto the ferry to Santander. From Santander to San Sebastian, up into the Pyrenees, onto the N260, down to Barcelona, round to Pamplona and back over the next 10 days.

I will do my best to keep this up-to-date with pics, maps, recommendations - let me know if there are any questions!

Sounds great. I'll look forward to your write up, photos and any observations you may have.

I'll be doing this in June:

Guys today we drove 2/3 of the N260 and have stopped in one of the national parks for the night.... Will post full itinerary and guide with pics when I get back, but the driving has been absolutely unreal. Best drive of my life.

I don't think we should go on about Spain too much here. All that Stelvio brigade will want to horn in if they really knew how good it is.

THIS ^^^^^^ At least they have only found the N260.

I was shocked by the state of it in places last year. So stayed well away from it and drove some other stunners instead.

HHHhhhmmm. Didn't know about the 260. I haven't planned much driving on it anyway. Your right about the other roads though. No names please.
