Santander to Duquesa advice

[thomo57]

Hi
I'm looking for guidance as I've never biked in Espana!
Meeting up with family, in August, (they are flying out) for a fortnights holiday in Duquesa (about 30 minutes north of Gibraltar). My good lady thought it would be nice to go down on the bike we added in an extra week, with ferry to Santander.
I've put a route together for the outward journey, any advice, suggestions, must see's, places to avoid, nice roads, good hotels etc are welcome

Take a spin down to San Pedro de Alcantara and have the best churros and hot chocolate on the CDS. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Churreria-Mª-Carmen-SAN-Pedro-De-Alcantara/144060768981531 . Also you should do the San pedro to Ronda run while you are down there. Myself and a mate are heading down there soon. We arrive there on April 25th . Cant wait.

Try this

Duquesa to casares and on to gaucin, plenty of twistys and with any luck you will see eagles and griffin vultures. Also try Fox,s for great food in Sabinillas in the square behind the taxi rank. Enjoy
