Transpirinaica

We had a great time planning the new Bikecat Trans-Pyrenees Cycling Tour. I especially enjoyed seeing new parts of Spain with magnificent late Spring, snow-covered Pyrenees almost always within view. Starting in La Seu d´Urgell in the Catalan Pyrenees, you really appreciate how the culture, food, and even language changes across the country to Basque Country. From Catalan, to Spanish and then the impossible to understand Basque language (Euskera), which has linguists still puzzled over the origins. Landing in San Sebastian on the seaside will be the perfect way to end a week with plenty of challenging riding. I could still be out there wandering those peaceful roads...Debbie
