If you are still thinking of joining us on our European tour in May, 2026, and have not yet let Peter Bradnock know, then please email him (ppbradnock@gmail.com) as soon as possible and before 31 October. For logistical reasons we will be limiting the number of cars to 20 for this tour. 

Since being advertised here last month, several of you have already registered your interest but a few places remain. 

Pyrenees, France

Routes have been plotted and we are currently reserving rooms with selected hotels and Spanish Paradors. We intend to make a group booking on the ferries. We will be heading all the way south in France through the Pyrenees to northern Spain. Those of us joining the tour from the UK will take the 5 May overnight ferry from Portsmouth to Caen and drive south to Pau stopping overnight on the Loire and the Dordogne and then a rest day in Pau. Our Carmino Giulietta continues across the Pyrenees to Bilbao for more fabulous touring in northern Spain. After a day exploring in Bilbao we drive across the Picos d’Europa to Leon and onwards to Santiago de Compostela. We return via Ferrol and Ribadeo along the north Atlantic coast to Bilbao for the 16 May ferry to Portsmouth arriving late afternoon on 17 May.
