Looks like it. Bods are distracted by matey and his jaunt to a track day. Unfair, as you were in first.
But hey, it’s only been eight hours and many of them will have been asleep after a dram.
Just go out and ride, you’d have to be very unlucky to find a bad road in Spain.
One amendment to the rough route I suggested: You want to take the A226 between Allepuz and Cantavieja, over the Puerto de Villaroya. Lovely road.
The very recent thread on the fellow’s ride from Bilbao to his trackday, would seem to consign that sweeping statement to the dustbin of history. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks for all your contributions I am really looking forward to this trip now!!!Cheers guys! I was randomly in Salou this morning on the bike and ran the route in reverse. I am now in Calpe recovering from the overdose of bends and perfect tarmac

One of the very best!
, but don't be tempted to ride north on the A-226 from Cantavieja, its pants!
Cheers

Last time I rode that way, I went south east from Cantavieja to La Inglesuela del Cid, then north east to Morella via Cinctorres. I can't remember the detail, except it was a lovely ride.
Previously I'd ridden north west on the A-226 up towards Villarluengo, short detour to Pitarque, then on to the N420. The A-226 that way is a fairly minor road, a bit bumpy, very twisty but goes through some properly amazing scenery. I'd say it's worth it from that point of view (and the sense of relief when reaching the N road and being able to get above 3rd gear for the first time in a while!). This was on my R1200GS - I wouldn' t choose to ride it on current bike (K1600GT) as it would be a bit too much like hard work.
This was taken just south of Villarluengo - it's one of my favourite bike photos. It doesn't really give the scale of the scenery; between the bike and the rock formation in the background was a very deep gorge.
The route in post #5?
