a mad mexican friend of mine who has not used his bike enough this year wants to visit his wife's parents in barcelona first week in dec.
i've never been to mainland spain. and my chum is affectively an american working and living our City traveling abroad alot.
his bike is a 'fat boy' without a screen and will not be fitting saddle bags either (i know, i know, he wants to live his dream and i'm going to help him... we got our tests together last year). My 1200GS will carry the majority of our stuff. I have a top box and panniers already fitted and am thinking i'll need a tank bag...... any advice?
i am thinking of the plymouth to santander ferry....... is this the best and quickest route?
what route to take to barcelona? (we only have 8 days for this trip at the most).
Places to stay?
what to do? I've seen the Dakar Party is on in the lastest 'BMW Bikes' mag but it does not give the dates.
imput from the likes of 'spainish bob' (we met at ace) and others would be much appriciated.
this baby enduro thanks you in advance.
