[QUOTE="Helen1, post: 632903, member: 37634"] My favourite sections would be: CF: SJPD to Roncesvalles has the magic of going over the Pyrenees and long descents, its rural, enormous eagles overhead. On the other hand, I also like culture. Burgos to Astorga is fairly flat easy riding if you take the road route. The entry into Leon is totally insane at the moment (road works) and you may need to take a moment to sort out your nerves after coming down the hill/making it round the roundabout./not ending up on the motorway but Leon is wonderful and there are lots of places to visit on this bit of the route which suits me. Not the CF but might be easier depending on where you arrive. In good weather, taking the tunnel route San Sebastian through to Vitoria feels more adventurous and it's also very beautiful. The climb from Zegama at the weekend is full of local cyclists who are fun and it's the same amount of climbing as going over the Pyrenees if you go off road (Note you have to carry your bike in places to do this, which won't be doable if heavily loaded and not at all if it's muddy). I liked this bit because it's real Spain rather than Camino Spain. Food in San Sebastian is amazing. Coastal road route Saint-Jean-de-Luz to Irun is busy but also very beautiful with the sea view.
