You did so well, some of those hills looked quite formidable, but you pressed on. Good for you. It doesn’t look an easy ride. Thanks for sharing it.

[@leodesi1888]

those medieval towns, so beautiful, thanks for sharing

[@pedalpowerfamily]

We love them as well! The architecture in Spain is my favorite. We hope to tour more in Spain and visit many more.

I’m watching because I’m wondering about, which tyres to fit for the ride. It isn’t muddy at all and not rocky either it would seem. A gravel tyre certainly but the ‘going’ seems easy enough.

[@pedalpowerfamily]

We used 50mm tires (Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tour) and there were only 2 very short parts on the path over the Pyrenees that were problematic - one very rocky and another with deep mud. You could use somewhat narrower tires and probably be OK. It can be muddier in places but we generally had good weather when on the dirt trails.

Curious as to how many brake pads and inner tubes you went through with all four of you traveling.
We have started the vids at the beginner and are working through the whole catalog.

[@pedalpowerfamily]

We each changed front and rear brake pads once. Somehow we didn't get a single flat tire for the whole 5 months/5600km!! We used Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tour tires - heavy but reliable.
