This final episode sees us leave the delightful city of Pamplona and head North over the Pyrenees and across the border to France. Our plan was to spend a couple of relaxing days in Biarritz, a city we were due to visit for a friend's wedding during Covid, but travel restrictions put paid to that. We decided as we were so close it made sense to finally make the short hop across the border.
Our first stop was going to be the seaside and surfing resort of Anglet for a spot of lunch and a quick visit to The Beach House (the actual wedding venue). The weather was glorious and in the low 30's by the time we arrived.
Biarritz is only a 20 minute ride from Anglet and we spent a lovely couple of days enjoying wandering its attractions including a delicious dinner in a French/Spanish restaurant we happened across.
Sadly, the weather wasn't on our side the following day when we head to Bilbao for our final stop! In fact, an hour outside of Bilbao , the heaven's opened up and we got a soaking - we made the mistake of changing into our riding jeans because of the previous day's heat and paid the price! We chose the fairly nondescript hotel as it was reasonably convenient to reach the Santander ferry the following day. And so we ended our "Long Road to Barcelona" tour having a had a great time with the family and enjoyed some great riding and great food!
We hope you enjoy this final episode and please feel free to share and comment if you inclined - thanks for watching!
