Advice please on most scenic route to drop south onto Camino Frances from Bilbao. Good places to stay? Bilbao to Burgos looks busy on roads biking?? Am over there for a month from mid Sept.
Aim to cycle back from Santiago on El Camino del Norte with the wind behind! Need warm gear into October? (re pannier bag weight). Any advice welcome. Many thanks

I am looking for a bicycle shop in Bilbao to hire a bicycle which I can leave in Santiago for pick up after 7 days. Decent quality touring or grit bike with pannier rack if possible. Any advice?
