Bikepacking, cycle touring across Spain from Santander, Cantabria in the north to Malaga, Andalusia in the south. Totaling 750miles over 13 days.
Day 1 is all about getting my legs moving after the 33hour ferry crossing from Portsmouth, UK.
I get out of Santander, onto the stunning Via Verde (Green lane) and climb the first big hill of the tour for a Wild Camp. The rain couldn't dampen my spirits!!
There's a map of the day's route at the end of each video plus link to the GPX file to see in more detail 👉 connect.garmin...

Thanks so much for clicking on this series. I've tried to capture the highs and lows of, what is for me, a challenge of a lifetime! This tour had me digging deep but the forever changing landscapes, the changing weather and of course the welcoming people of Spain kept me going.
This is episode one, i'll be uploading every Friday at 6pm.... see you there ;-)
Check out the description box for more information on each day and the GPX File for each day 😉
Just found you and enjoyed this first video. Stunning scenery and a man not ashamed to walk his bike, what's not to like. Now looking forward to watching your progress and you now have a new Sub.
@@2wheelsrbest327 thanks so much. I hope you enjoy the tour 🤟🏼🚴🏼♂️🏕️
Nice , I've been looking forward to this video
I hope you enjoyed it! More to come ;-)
Looks awesome brother Mark, you're a machine!
And that's just day one!
Late to this! I'm starting at day 1 and I'll catch up though. Looks like a grand old adventure :)
Hello stranger! Yes this was so much fun, 13 days of cycling, dodging scorching sun and practicing Spanish with the locals..... can't wait to go back! I hope you're well?
@RoadyPacking-CyclingAdventures I'm just drinking a coffee and watching day two.
It looks great so far, I'm envious.
I'm all good, though doing far too little cycling!
We did this route in May......I feel your pain.....stunning area
@@davidsmith6755 yeah it is such a beautiful country. Looking forward to going back for some more miles when funds allow 🤟🏼🚴🏼♂️🏕️
Your camera and videography have got really professional. JOGLE was good but this was brilliant. The voice over and music are great! Well done, buddy. Well done! I wish you put more in about your overnight - I’d love to see more of your camp and nighttime adventures. 👏
Thanks sooo much. I was apprehensive about doing a voiceover but I never seem to 'tell the story' well when i'm actually cycling so thought i'd give it a bash....I'm glad you liked it!
I was bushed by the end of day one so put the camera away and just enjoyed the evening really.... wait for day 4 or 5 when i'm camping at 1000metres up a mountain, lots of 'in camp' footage on that one!!
Thanks for your positivity mi amigo, it's infectious 🤘
@@RoadyPacking-CyclingAdventures it’s incredible, buddy. I look forward to all the updates. It makes me smile to see your face and hear your voice.
Hola, great video of this big adventure trip, i think you will be walking quite a few hills which is wise, look after your knees pal. So wild camping most of the time, but there will be Campsites with showers and or hostals, etc. When you stop at a village/town and you want a cooked dinner ask the waiter for a Del Dia which is menue/meal of the day which usually is a 3 course meal which might include a small drink (beer or wine)the cost would be the equivalent of 1 course in the UK, this may more apparent in a town maybe and perhaps further south but it might be everywhere? I live in the south of Spain but not in the area your heading for, good luck and all the best and take care, look forward to the next part 👏👋
@@Trekon2 ah thanks so much. Yes it's an adventure, no day is the same (except my sore ass!). Living in the south of Spain, I'm envious!
See you next episode 🤟🏼
Good that I found your channel, I'm thinking of doing something like that myself next year. Let's see how it goes. 🙂 Thank you.
@@hammockdweller you'll have a blast, I ended up going down the Eurovelo 1 to Seville and then on a beautiful via Verde east to Málaga.... I've edited and uploaded up to day 7 so far, all with gpx files. Check them out on my channel 🤟🏼 thanks for watching 🚴🏼♂️🏕️
