[gthyni]

If you're going to be there, then you might want to sample home grown. I've always liked the look and design brief of this bike:

Derbi Mulhacen 659

the Mulhacén is lovely but I haven't found any rentals.

 

But nothing wrong with a Daytona 675. Could be rented here:

quiet expensive

 

Hmm, should I try to get one anyway?

I'm going to Barca and Valencia on Wednesday

hey Staedtler so you'er going for a run in my land huh? Excellent idea, I agree with the previous post to avoid the South, full of tourists and overdeveloped.

 

I would start in Galicia in the North West corner of Spain, then riding the northen roads through Asturias, Oviedo is a lovely town, follow the northern coast of Spain through Picos de Europa, Cantabria, the Basque country, you could take in Pamplona for the running of the bulls on 7 July, take in the Pyrenees, beautiful, unspoilt, and great roads, as far west as you can go.

 

Then head south along the Mediterranean coast to Barcelona. Then head back following the Ebro river, taking in Zaragoza, Burgos, Soria, Salamanca, Leon, a totally different Spain to the Northern coasts but also full of history and medieval towns. From Leon back into Galicia via Ourense, then Lugo this town has the most complete set of preserved Roman walls and they circle the town...then back to the Galician coast...fabulous!

 

Should keep you busy and your hot pillion hot!
