In my motorcycling touring days I had considered coming to the Picos de Europa on a couple of occasions but the lure of further destinations such as Croatia and Norway had always taken priority. Now was a good time to rectify my omission. We packed up and set off along the the A8 Autovia toward Campsite La Isla-Picos de Europa
Towing Kilometres – Today: 294 Cumulative: 13,946
The combination of heavy rain, poor weather forecasts, and not least, the thoroughly waterlogged ground our caravan was parked on brought about a big change of plan today. We had intended staying in northern Spain for at least another week to visit the region around Bilbao and Guggenheim museum.
With the weather forecast for Bidart predicting wet weather for the next few days it was time to move on. The weather over to the east of France was supposedly much better so we decided to head that way.
I had visited Millau two times previously on my motorcycle trips, and the viaduct and surrounding area are amazing. Kim had not been there so it was decided to head that way. We thought that the trip was too many kilometres for one day so headed for Camping Midi Pyrénées, at Montréjeau, an easy couple of hours away, for a one or two night stopover.
