The north of Spain is a nice for cycling, if you stay on main roads. Otherwise they are steep like hell making us to push the bicycles to the top while swearing.
But that does not mean that the main roads are easier. It’s a lot – really a lot – of up and down with signs like these:
Your trip seems to be much harder than expected!… I hope you will have good rests between
the different places and also in Apúlia!
Enjoy your trip, hopefully with nice weather!
Love.

It’s not harder, just a confirmation of what other cyclists have told us. Beijinhos.
