The MSL Spanish ‘Pico’s’ Classic – October 2025

Experience the iconic ‘Pico’s de Europa’
Sensational, twisty, smooth mountain roads, stunning views!
Limited places, great value, prices held from 2024!

This exceptionally priced and very popular Tour to Suances and the Picos’s de Europa is now back on board Brittany Ferries Pont Aven, for our return  overnight crossing from Plymouth to Santander. Departure is on Wednesday 8th October at 15:45hrs. with a Thursday early afternoon arrival in Santander, for Day One in Spain.

Choose whether to go directly on your first day’s ride out from Santander or go the short distance to our quality four star (half board) Tour hotel in Suances . Either check in if our rooms are available or simply leave your luggage securely at the hotel before you head out on your first day for some fun on your bike!  Suances with its local restaurants and bars  in the Old Port, will be our comfortable and familiar base for the next four nights, just a short ride (less than an hour) from the heart of the Pico’s de Europa. Enjoy an all-inclusive comprehensive buffet style meal with wine each evening and a comprehensive breakfast to start each days ride out! 

This trip is undoubtedly about riding the roads, stunning scenery, wonderful roadside cafes, some great company and making new friends. The Picos de Europa makes up the central range of the Cantabrian Mountains and without doubt providing some of the best biking roads in Europe! If you do nothing else just take the N-621 south from Unquera, take a right at Panes over the bridge and track upwards along the incredible AS-114 towards Cangas de Onis, along bend after sweeping bend. Follow the road south to Rhiano on the iconic N-625 to re-join the N-621 north bound back up to Potes along some fabulously smooth, sweeping roads and switch backs with stunning scenery and mountainous back drops to match! Don’t forget to stop at the Mirador del Corzo along the Puerto san Gloria for a photograph with the iconic bronze ‘Cantabrian Chamois’ and take in the incredible views! You really have to experience these roads on a bike and many more amazing endless mountainous routes which twist and turn through the stunning heart of the Picos de Europa and the wonderful regions of Cantabria and Asturias.

Our return journey to Plymouth on Day Five is on the following Monday 13th October after four nights at the Grand Hotel Suances, so a relaxed breakfast is in order followed by a coffee or two near the lighthouse in Suances, before making our way back to Santander. You will have plenty of time to enjoy the roads around Cantabria one final time on the way back to the port!  Here we re-board Brittany Ferries ship the Pont Aven , leaving Santander at 17:00hrs for our overnight crossing back to Plymouth arriving at 14:00hrs  on Tuesday afternoon Plenty of time then to catch up with some banter on-board over a few beers, reflecting on our shared experiences on the highlights of this fabulous trip to the Pico’s de Europa.
