Be careful the thighs will heat up! A superb tour in the Atlantic Pyrenees, it starts directly with the Burdincurutcheta pass, a difficult pass, the first slopes make it known from the outset with passages at more than 14%.

Or: The Unspeakables😂 #sightseeingpace After a fun day at the beach on the Atlantic with great waves, today we went deeper into the Basque Pyrenees. The landscape was awesome!!! However, today was the first time I was happy that our luggage lived in the car. In the meantime Garmin showed 22% and otherwise far too often 17%... There were a lot of sheep, cows and lots of horses. It was a dream. A dream you've worked out, but a dream😄👍 And an important discovery: there is Kofola in Basque, Euscola❤️
