At the end of June 2011 I embarked on a rather exciting venture to tour the wild and remote parts of Spain not normally visited by too many tourists. I certainly intended to stay away from tourist resorts and as much of possible the Mediterranean coast.
My very loosely constructed 23 day route plan was to start from my comfortable home in West Sussex, travel via Cherbourg, Biarritz, La Coruna, track back to the Picos de Europa mountains, south via Salamanca and Cordoba to Gibraltar, then return home via Granada and the Sierra Nevada, Cuenca, central Pyrenees, then along the French coast back to Cherbourg, camping all the way.
It wasn't so much about what was at these waypoints but more what was in between.

The focus was finding beautiful, wild, remote, isolated locations in which I could immerse myself and enjoy solitude, nature in the raw, and hopefully spot some rare wildlife such as the brown bear, lynx, eagles and vultures so common in the UK!
