Default Spain

Hi, I am off to Spain on my sportster for a month (from London) in 10 days. Havent done any planning except got a friends address in Barcelona from her. Fancy looking at the Guggenheim in Bilbao. The roads look great in the North. Any suggestions, warnings, hints?

Are you riding across France or taking the ferry to Santander ? If your going across France Sundays and mondays it can be difficult to get fuel unless your on the toll roads. Personally they bore me and they are not cheap.

You never mentioned Saturday afternoons!
What a nightmare, When is France open?

Spain was effin' brilliant though. Away from the coast the scenery is stunning, the back roads brilliant and the food and wine cheap (for a Brit!)

Dont know why I'm back.
