Hi all,
I'm bored and missing Spain.
Can you post some pictures your bike/hike/outdoor adventures in the Iberian Peninsular?
Here are some to get us going...
Above and below were from Mallorca.
These are mostly from Andauclia in the South of Spain.
... hopefully people can see the pics!
We've walked a couple of thousand kms in Spain over the last ten years. No pics because Google is ful of them. But a map of the area we like most:

just got back from Mallorca last weekend, I wanna go back already
Highly recommend Menorca.
Last year I paddled the north coast it in an inflatable kayak.
Fancy going back to hike around the island.
Mallorca is a great place too.
If powered two wheelers are allowed. Some from a trip to the Picos a few weeks ago.

The best road descent I have ever done on the best days riding all last summer
View from yesterday’s run. Just outside Gernika.

Just over the hill from where I live
Go on then some pics:
Getting around in Spain means busses to us, often at night with regular stops in bus stations. Here a pit stop for a tyre change
We prefer walking to cycling in Spain, here near Laxe - pronounced "laché" in French or "la shay" in English
Wild camping is not allowed in Spain but lying down and going to sleep without any kind of shelter is:
Same place the following morning
with the coastline we'd walked the previous days in the background
My little bruv lives up in the mountains near Malaga. Went over last year and his mate took me for a couple of ebike rides. It were fab
the view from his old villa. He's moved nearer to Competa now. I should get me arse back out there
No bike in this one, but Fiesta!
Went last just weeks before the World locked down, am aching to go back.
Once more unto the Caminito, dear friends...
First trip to north Spain this summer, lived up to and exceeded expectations.

Some shots from near me, in La Pedriza in Madrid
And some gratuitous photos of my dog and cats, also in Spain:
'Wild camping is not allowed in Spain but lying down and going to sleep without any kind of shelter is'
Technically true but if you are off the tourist trail, then out of sight = out of mind.
Need to go to Spain. Looks ace.
lovely stuff tjagain. Where was it?
Can't really remember - this was the pass if that means anything. In Northern Spain between Vittoria and Santander somewhere 3000+ft descent in 10 miles . Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
We've been many times this is one of my favourite photos taken above Pola de Somiedo
Been to loads of places:
- Sierra Nevada
- Sierra de Grazalema
- Pyrenees
- Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria - lots of different places along Cordillera Cantabrica
- Picos de Europa
- lots of minor hills in Andalusia
Spains great, heading to the Sierra Nevada for 2 months for gravel, DH, horse riding and drinking coffee watching the world walk by.
Can’t wait to get back in January!
Happy Spanish Bins 🙂
@Edukator - is that the walk around the headland near Laxe? La ruta de los faros or something? We did a walk there last summer with the two kids, though it was harder and hotter than we had planned so we cut it short, went back to Laxe and had razor clams and Albarino.
It's a beautiful place. We're in Galicia again this summer so might visit again.
Currently here visiting a mate and went on an ebike ride in the hills above Algorfa/Benejuzar in southern Spain.
This is the holiday that has finally convinced my wife we should give Spain a shot so we're now starting to look at houses 😁
