5000 curves route please

[MickDB1]

Me and a mate fancy a nice quiet pootle around the santander and sth area. I have done some bits of this area a bit on my way further sth but I would love to do the route of the 500 curves and stay around that area or within 150 mile for about a week or 10 days
Does anyone have a GPX of routes they have done in that area Please
Does anyone have GPX route of this they can DM or post on here please
Thanks for any info

Obviously the Picos would be the 1st area that springs to mind. Don't do GPX etc, but this area is well worth exploring

Not too far away from Santander

The 5000 curves route is a combination of roads, created from two separate events: The Cantabria Tour and the Piston Rally. The route changes each year.

I’d suggest building your own. Here’s a start, using the Piston Rally route from 2019:

Piston rally 2019

Ruta Piston rally 2019 de Moto de Carretera en Solía, Cantabria (España). Descarga el track GPS y sigue el itinerario del sendero desde un mapa. Graba tu propio recorrido desde la app, sube la ruta y compártela con la comunidad.

es.wikiloc.com

Then Google away, using assorted search phrases and include looking at pictures.

Alternatively, there are heaps of GPX routes around the area here on UKGSer and / or available on the web, for example on the RiDE magazine website.

Thank You.
I am all ready doing my own detecting on the net and on Michelin maps green routes. Just trying to use other folks help and knowledge. Sometimes having a route that others have done and recommend is easier.
I know somefolks on here will have done the rallies ,I just wondered if they recorded them as a track etc.

Here is some. Hopefully it will help get you going (and)

Thread 'GPX - Picos: a trip report'

Split away, as the report is good. It’ll be useful for others in the future, I’m sure. Thank you for including the GPX files.

So.. Picos: a trip report.
Richard, split the thread if you think it's best.


I was originally meant to go travel across the Pyrenees meeting a friend from Italy, but he got caught on with work and had to travel to the US so diverted (with another friend) to the Picos area.

Have to say thanks a lot to all that shared routes over the years here in UKGSer and Arsery in particular (especially for the hotel tip).

Thank you very much.

Look for Vega de Pas on the map, south of Santander. It is surrounded by good passes. I have done several over the years on my way from or to Santander. None are very long but you can join up several into a day touring. Puerto de La Braguía is a favourite.

I'm in the planning stage for my trip in May/June. I will probably be spending the first few days in the Cantabrian mountains and I will put the routes in my Figure of 8 thread once I have them worked out.
