Please share the locations and the routes.

[@SomewhereWilder]

We are currently putting together a super detailed blog post with our exact route/budget/favourite places etc. which should be ready super soon!! We will share ASAP 😊

[@eivissastef]

YES, please. so WE ALL CAN GO THERE! and camp wild, what is forbidden in Spain.

[@eivissastef]

@CF right, thank you. but people are bored, they need idols to tell them where to go and what to do. ;())

[@ottouring]

G’day from Australia I just read your comment and thought you might like my channel. Have a look at my set up, my 12v set up, Australian locations and camp cook ups. Cheers Out There Touring

You sound so American

[@alwynvanwyk1851]

Can't tell what is your greatest passion...such a nice video and scenes. Always having coffee, staring a Landy or two down, eating, spoiling the 2 x four legged kids. My guess... 1. Each other. 2. The lovely dogs. 3. Land Rovers. (Adolf) 4. Coffee. 5. Coffee. 6. Coffee. 7. Buying gimmicks and treats for the doggies. And..... 8. Coffee..... Thanks, enjoyed it very much.... Ps. That jump from the roof to the bonnet of the Landy sent a wave of pain right through every muscle in my body... Remember: *Every Landy has a soul...* Regards from RSA 🇿🇦

Wow! 🤩 The music and drone shots at the beginning gave me that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you know your about to watch a great film worthy of a sofa, blanket and popcorn. It did not disappoint!😍🤩🥹 Beautiful videography from such lovely people (and dogs!)!

Spain; never knew. There’s always someplace beautiful everywhere I guess. Fabulous. I thought I saw a bear sneaking up behind you in the lake-dive part; so that’s why all the rewinds ;) but no, you’re good.

[@HeinerStorchennest1]

Great scenery.

[@pepebuenagagarcia3793]

Nice trip and backpacking, very jealous of being able to move with that freedom , Spain is different and of course with its own music and different cultures. I dare you to know Cordillera Cantábrica, where if your companion howls perhaps is answered by a true wolf or perhaps you feel the presence of the bear, try to know this mountains.

[@ands55]

Awesome video! Love the content and colour grade. Could you share the link for the LUT if any?

[@franciscohobichajis1717]

Thats the sierra de Chía in the aragonese pyrinees and the next valley is the valley of chistau. I live near by

[@franciscohobichajis1717]

Also in Aragón, those lakes with a glaciar origin are called "ibón/ibones" and the smaller ones "ibonets"

[@matthewgame-qo7gj]

Very nice moments

[@robertburton.wandering.won9154]

Your drone shots whilst you're on the move are epic! Cinematic! (But you do make me nervous when you are flying close to trees - because of what happened to my drone, obviously!!) 🤣😭 What was the deal with that beige Santana Land Rover at the start? It looked old, but it looked as though it had more modern parts stuck on 🤔 Your hike and camping footage was so idyllic - and the well deserved lunch and the large glass of red with the cheeky look Your videos make me feel so happy ☺️

[@hughmarcus1]

Santana were built locally under licence from LR. They often had a curious mix of parts. That one looks like it has had early Defender bonnet, grille & headlights fitted. I’ve seen it some in the U.K. too.

[@lamelapiurossa]

Beautiful video! Greetings

[@evgeniav424]

Gooooooooood :)

[@lucky9face989]

WOW !!!!

[@janfwhatever]

Great video. Can we find your itinerary somewhere? Offroading in the Pyrenees can get ticky sometimes, so would love to know where you went.

[@stephanhaeke589]

was there last spring an amazing area. nice to see how you both enjoyed the trip. the one thing I don't understand is the fact that you filter the water of the lake and the stream🤔.

[@zakclassics44]

Great vid thanks for taking us with you Any chance of sharing the bar location Thanks

[@SomewhereWilder]

Thank you so much & yes of course!! It was called Refugio de Marradetas 🧡

Hi! I just found your channel and this video. It’s amazing. We’re off to the Pyrenees Wednesday. Would love to know the name of the campsite you stayed at before hiking to the Lake ? Thanks ❤

Very nice place! A spirit of motivating and inspiring others is well expressed in your content. How did you create the route for your Spanish Pyrenees trip in this video? Where did your journey begin and end? Did you follow the GR11 route? Or which route would you recommend with a Land Rover Defender 4x4? Thanks again for sharing your wonderful travel memories with us your overlanding friends.

Love the vid! Which lead do you use when hiking with your dogs?

[@ibancorominas3446]

"Overlanding and Backpacking in the Spanish Pyrenees" proceeds to start the video with Flamenco music, which is nice, but also the least Northern Spanish music ever. I can't wait to visit London and slap a Highland bagpipe solo as background music 😀. Great video anyway!! Liked and Subscribed!!

[@SomewhereWilder]

Ahhh we really thought it was a beautiful piece of music & I think as we have to use royalty free music we don't have the biggest selection available, but thanks for letting us know that maybe it wasn't the best choice! We will try to do better next time - do you have any music from Northern Spain you recommend? We would love to listen to some ❤

[@flight101]

@@SomewhereWilder I drove my discovery ( Cornwall to Plymouth), then Santander to Denia and across to here ( Ibiza) it was amazing. I would never go back to the uk.. the bloke who left that comment probably did a bit of googling to make himself look puffed up and important! Ignore it. Its like everyone associates Ibiza with clubs and bars.. theres so much more but I wouldn’t be rude to people who have made an effort to post their adventures about it on here.

[@ibancorominas3446]

@@flight101 My coment has nothing to do with googling, just pointing at the obvius, I live here, and I can garantiee you that never ever heard flamenco music in Catalonia, apart from let's say, flamenco fusion music of some kind, or some show for foreigners at Barcelona. What is great about Spain is that every comunity is just diferent, if you want flamenco and bulls just go to the south.

Nice Trip, do you have a gps trak of this trip?

[@ciervosnomadas]

wow!!!!!

[@TheUntraveledPath]

Love your videos! Just a quick question. Is this mainly filmed on a Sony A7III? If so, what lenses do you use?

[@topy10]

Nice places and nice video. Just in case you're not aware, in Spain is not legal to camp outside designated areas. Nevertheless, the law is different in each autonomous community. For instance, in Aragón where this video is filmed, free camping is completely illegal (fines may vary from 600 to 6000 euros). There are 3 different concepts in the Spanish law to know: camping (use of a temporary housing), pernoctar (spend the night in a shelter or structure) and vivac (sleep rough). The only heavily restricted is camping, and that includes vehicles with expanding structures beyond the vehicle perimeter. Of course, many people illegally camp, specially at high altitudes where the odds of being detected are reduced but have in mind that forest rangers do patrol, so it's a question of luck. The same applies to bathing in mountain lakes. These are very fragile ecosystems under strict protection that are dramatically affected by skin bacteria, sweat or traces of creams and perfumes. Fines are also quite high. Hope this is helpful for anyone planning to hike the mountains in Spain. Remember to check the local regulations so you know what you're exposing yourself to. Good luck !!!

[@SomewhereWilder]

Thanks so much for letting us know about this!! All our research online before said it was okay to camp above 2000m in this area which is why we chose this hike - also on the hike there were signs at the lower regions saying no tent camping but once we reached the higher altitudes there was no signs saying it was prohibited so we thought it was okay, but we’ll definitely remember that for next time thank you!! The same for swimming, we were previously at Aigüestortes and of course there everything is so restricted (check out our previous video we talk about it) but when we arrived to this area we didn’t see any signs or anything saying no swimming so we thought it was okay, but we understand now that we shouldn’t have and won’t do it again ❤ thank you so letting us know!!

[@MorningNapalm]

Does a pop-roof tent count as expanding the vehicle perimeter?

[@topy10]

@@MorningNapalm No. Anything on top of the vehicle not projecting outside the original perimeter is allowed. For instance, you can open lateral sliding windows or roof windows but not the lateral hinged ones (those increase the perimeter when open). You can't use the canopy or take chairs outside (this is considered camping). Anyway, check the area signs or ask the local police.
