Joined: 16 Jan 2010 Posts: 3 Bike: | In June I am planning on flying to Barcelona, and then cycling across Spain on the scenic roads to Santander where I will pick up the ferry home. I will be going solo, and camping/hostelling along the way. I did something similar across France last year and was able to plan likely campsites etc along the way easily beforehand. I'm finding it much more challenging this time for Spain. Has anyone done this kind of trip before in Northern Spain, and have any idea whether simple campsites and/or hostels are easy to find and plentiful. I'm trying the keep the budget low, and these are only places to sleep for me, as I intend to spend most of the day on the road. I would welcome comments on anyone elses experience of this part of the world |
