PYRENEES & TET SPAIN: Offroad on SMUGGLER ROUTES of the TRANS EURO TRAIL

Roads, that are gems, just waiting to be found and to be explored - and we will explore these roads in the spanish Pyrenees from Val D'Aran, the skiing area Baqueira-Beret all the way to the mountain town Tor and on old offroad smuggler trails on the Trans Euro Trail Spain to the border of Andorra.

[@matthewrschuler]

Beautiful! 😀

[@bart6469]

ALERT! Inspired by your great video, today I did the loop through the Marimanha nature reserve starting from the Baqueira ski resort. Beautiful route, BUT, some 8kms before the end of the track at Refugio el Fornet, I was stopped by two park rangers who informed that now the route is prohibited for motorcycles! Although cars are allowed to pass, motorcycles violate the 'acoustic' regulations. At the risk of a hefty fine they told me to return all the way back. I did not mind cause I had twice the fun😂 but beware that motorcycles are not allowed all year round. Tomorrow I do the 'legal illegal' smugglers route from Alins to Andorra😊

Love your travels Lea…. Nearly finished your book……. Really enjoying the emotional aspect which is less obvious on the you tube videos….x

[@Got2Go]

Thank you, it makes me very happy that you are enjoying the read too! Yes, the book is very different than the videos, it’s much more personal because it’s not easy to record moments like those on video if you don’t want to fake them or stage them and stay authentic. I as well don’t always have a camera running when meeting people, I feel that is just not nice, so many of the things that happen during my journeys are as well not on camera and therefore better written down!
