The towering Pyrenees in South-Western France lie between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. This mountainous area, in which the wild Parc National des Pyrénées is located, is claimed to be a paradise for hikers, fishermen and skiers. And although the Pyrenees are quit green in France and the weather in this area is cool, it is also a paradise for motorbikers. Of course you have to be a bit lucky with the weather, but the scenery is beautiful.
As you will probably know the very famous pilgrimage destination of Lourdes is located in the French Pyrenees. And as the arrival of the many pilgrims has boosted the tourist facilities, Lourdes is ideally located at the foot of the Pyrenees and it is a nice place to do more than just go to church, we thought Lourdes would be the perfect central point for our Quazy Rides French Pyrenees tour.

Picos de Europa is one of the most beautiful mountain regions of Spain, and maybe even Europa. It is the largest national park in Europe, covering 3 official Spanish regions: Asturia, Cantabria and Castilla y Léon. The name comes from the seafarers returning home as the tops of the mountains were the first sight of their homeland. There are sleepy villages in the green valleys, orchards and authentic farms on the slopes and the tops of the mountains are steep and rugged. It is a wonderful destination and very loved amongst bikers because of the good and windy roads!

The Costa Verde is the coast of the Asturias region. The Spanish Costa Verde, because it turns out that there is also a Costa Verde in the very North West of Portugal. The Costa Verde means "Green Coast" and if you get here you will soon see why this coast is so called. And although we bikers do not want to hear this and the green is beautiful, this is because of the high rainfall. But it does make the Costa Verde one of the most beautiful mountain regions of Spain, so we definitely wanted to try it out in a Quazy Rides tour. And we were very impressed!
