Best roads in Northern Spain / Pyrenees

[matt3001]

Hi,

I have some time in Bilbao, San Sebastian and Biarittz in August.

What are the best driving roads in Northern Spain and the Pyrenees that I should aim to drive on?

Thanks,
Matt

I drove this route today from Canfranc to San Sebastian.


Le Somport
Arette
Isaba
Ezcaroz
Espinal
Saigots
Irurita
Arkiskil
Epela
San Sebastian.

Great roads. Some fast A road types and some more single track stuff. Good surfaces and a lot of climbs and descents.

Arette to Isaba was the highlight.

Probably too far east for you but I love the Port de la Bonaigua (C-28) and the N-260 towards Girona. Love the Pyrenees so also interested in great roads around the Basque Country.

I gather towns with 50,000 inhabitants - although some with only 20,000 - have low emission zones - did you research any of this, I am going with a group and some of their overnight stays may be in these towns and I need to find out what the boundaries are - my car meets Euro 3 standard. Many thanks
