So, I've done the northen part of the Catalunya TET route. A tiny bit, to be fair.
That, chopped, part of the track is downloadable here for reference.
This is how it goes up:
I'm not any good when it comes to leaving asphalt, borderline clueless, but the route is very doable on large bikes.
It was raining and I had luggage and there were no particular issue apart from a few large slippery rocks (the first part climbs a bit over stones/rocks) here and there. Will be perfectly fine on a dry day.
Highly recommended route.

apologies for the low quality videos, these were the files I originally uploaded to Instagram, and they get destroyed (compression-wise) when uploaded to YT.
This was my full route, Easter 2019 (yellow track):
If it can be of any help, the full track from Bilbao to Calais is downloadable here.
