Very helpful thank you - practical and experienced based.

Great video. Now I know what to expect if I go bike touring in Lanzarote and that it can be cold.

So surprised why this video has less than 1000 views. Great content man - hoping to do a similar type of trip soon

Never hurts to ask farmers if it OK to pitch a tent Works most places

Great video. Thank you so much.I am planning one in 2 weeks, but it seems like they don't allow wild camping any more now. Howdid you get your information? Thanks

Thanks for the effort! Nice video and very informative. We're thinking of doing some sort of tour there in May, and this certainly made it an even more attractive idea.

This looks like great fun! Im thinking of doing the same thing with the missus for dec/jan/feb but we would have to come back to England for a couple of weeks over xmas, do you know anywhere in ibiza it wouldn't be safe to store the bikes for a couple of weeks? Keep up the great videos! 👍

You really deserve a lot more subscribers and likes !!!

Camping in Portugal is legal nowadays, but you can only stay for max 24h at the same place. Is forbidden to camp in any natural reserve and in private properties (unless the owner allows it), we must have to take in account that 93% of the Portuguese forest is private.

Most part of Spain is just too hot in summer time to cycle.

Thanks, some great tips and information there. I'm going in July. And well done on the ride, that's a great achievement. Just some feedback on your editing. Your music is too loud over your voice. I found it really difficult to hear you. It would be much better if you cut the music while you are talking to the camera.

This looks marvelous! Such a beautiful light and so few people.. Great!

Great video thanks.

Hi, I like your videos. How do you protect yourself of insects, snakes, etc. while sleeping without a tent?

I've cycled Bilbao to Malaga and Barcelona to Vigo, usually stayed in rooms above bars, they are cheap & near beer..... I like to to tour in football years, the World Cup or the Euros, so that even in tiny places the bars are busy at night. This June it's Alicante to Cadiz.

really nice video with good information. I am 81 years of age and used to be a decent cyclist. Planning to rent eBike and see the Douro valley. Do you think I will get enough assist on the bike especially going up hills riding in the Douro? Or would I be wiser to cycle Andalucia where the grades are not as steep?

I'm from Spain and I think I can add a few things: For number 2, although wild camping is illegal, you can put a vivac almost anywhere legally For number 3, bars and that sort of place will always give you tap water for your bottles for free, it's a law.

I’m not a cycling purist but I want to embark on my first set of touring rides this summer. I’m thinking of doing 60~70 km a day for a week. Is an e-bike a good idea?

Thank you.

I’ve just come across your channel and thoroughly enjoying your videos. I’ve done a lot of backpacking around California and stayed in a hostel near the GGBridge at fisherman’s wharf some years back. If I remember correctly the fog horns are on Alcatraz island. Is that a Kona sutra? Just got one myself and love it. I was hoping to do the trans-America cross country route this May but have had to postpone due to illness in the family. I’m planning a shorter trip instead doing the length of the outer Hebrides and possibly returning on the Caledonia Way. Regards, Carl. Scotland.

Glad I found this video as i am planning to spend two weeks in Spain on my bike at the end of May and beginning of June (I actually have 18+days but 6 of these will be spent getting to and from Spain from the NW UK. I'm not young or super fit so was hoping to get to Santiago by train from Santander or Bilbao and then cycle back as the hills seem slightly kinder that way - do you have any thoughts on this or info re trains?

Thanks for the great video, full of inspiration. I am planning a ride N-S from Santiago de Compostela to Faro in October/November 2024. Will get onto EV1 in Portugal. Any tips welcome? Thanks.

May you need same ice cream in fact i give you 🎉🎉 or abaut that

Love Fuerte it’s paradise (with high winds 😂)

That cave was a lucky find. It looked awesome. It had to be man made. More hike than bike. Maybe you need a bike that can handle off road riding? A 29er with 3 inch tyres? I have to say I much prefer Gran Canaria not only is it more beautiful than Tenerife, stunning landscapes, it is better for cycling on or off road. Why carry such a big rucksack?

1. You didn’t mention the psychopathic Portuguese drivers. 2. Did you actually ride the EV1? In Portugal it is very rough unrideable in places or thick sand or punishing cobbled roads. There are lots of better places to ride a bike.

That's truly the life man

OMG, you are unstoppable :D It is sometimes hard to just walk there... and with the bike... it is just another level :D

Nice! :D What month was it? I was in the Canaries in December and also in April... and it was OK to sleep in a tent, but on your video it looks cold at night :D

Beautiful

A ripper of a fact filled video. Thanks mate there should more like this one, short and sweet to the point and directed to the end user to enjoy bike touring. 👍👍💯

Amazing! Going to chance it, and go for this ride with my brother… thanks for lighting the fire 😊

holla..good to see you in Sardinia. Over there got abandoned village

And I always thought of Teneriffe as sunny.

Thanks for the advice, thinking of trying to do a big trip this year, would spain be too hot to cycle in augst? is there a time of year that would be ideal in terms of tepriture?

You are tough guy, can survive anywhere

👍

There is so much great transit around Montserrat: a train right to the monastery from Barcelona, a cable car from the base of the hill to the monastery, several funiculars to get you around the mountain from the monastery. But cycling there is car hell any way you slice it, even if bikers do it anyway. It’s shameful, actually, how hard it is to ride from Barcelona to Montserrat without risking your neck on sketchy, busy roads with no shoulders.

How safe did you feel cycling around Spain? My parents have a holiday home in the South so I've debated buying a bike there but everytime I visit Spain I can't help but feel it seems a bit ill-suited to cycling.

Thank you for the video, i know how much work you put into it, apreciate it a lot!

Which camera are you using for te Video? . I hope you like my Island. 😊

Good day to you! I am a senior rider on HONDA motorcycle from Japan. I am enjoying camping ,touring and upload video. Your touring video is so nice! Awesome! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!

Thanks a lot for these insights! I'm planning a cycling trip to Spain this spring, and your video made me feel one step closer to that goal :)

Amazing view in N Zealand.

Hello, can I ask you, if you have experience with trains in Spain? We are planning trip from Barcelona to Sevilla in autumn 2023. We would like to arrive to Barca with the car, leave the car in Barca and go along seacoast to south. We want to travel back with train, but dont know how is it with this possibility there? Thanks a lot.

Hi..I just found your channel, a lot of good tips for bike touring, thanks dude. Done subscribe your YT Ch.

Music is too loud and doesn't add anything. Can't focus on the talk.
