Radreise Deutschland - Portugal Teil ES

This time we met some pilgrims. On EV3, through Pamplona / Irun, you are led along a 'green, shaded ribbon', without noticing city life. From Pamplona we are looking for a route that runs a little more to the north! Destination: Salinas de Añana, our only salt theme in Spain.

In this area, accommodations appear to be very scarce, so the route is designed based on accommodation availability

Cantabrian Mountains, individual route, El Rio Tera

individual route with shopping
