Do you arrange travel to Spain? |
|
A. |
No, you need to make your own arrangements for ferry crossings from the UK to Spain or any other route you intend to use to arrive at the tour start point. We can provide advice on request. Most of our riders travel by ferry from the UK to either Santander or Bilbao. We supply a map and written directions from the ferry terminals to the location of the start of the tour.
