Been there four times, albeit not on bikes, I'd go back in a heartbeat. Beautiful and cultural land!

thank you, I had planed the north part in Cantabria and Picos de Europa a bit with google street view. the rest of the tour, aprox 1000km we decided every night at dinner, with a paper map and some google views again, doing only WHITE roads helps, many of them are gravel roads.

the bikepacking is certainly the way to do it on a gravel tour like that.
