RouteXpert Review
This route heads roughly east from a budget hotel in Miranda de Ebro towards Sos del Rey Católico. It passes through Vittoria to visit a McDonald's and to buy some provisions for a picnic. After Vittoria you are soon on pleasant rural roads before entering the Parque Natural de Urbasa-Andia at Olazaguti, route point (RP) 16. You can then see the mountains as you approach and the route gets steeper and twistier the further you go. Griffon Vultures swoop overhead as well as Peregrine Falcons. Once you have ascended the limestone cliff, there is a plateau with shady beech trees providing an excellent spot to stop for your picnic at (RP) 18, you can cool off, and chat with your friends about all those hairpins you’ve just ridden! Then what goes up must come down and so you are treated to more twisties as you descend. You reach the small village of Zudaire which is actually built around 2 beautifully swooping hairpin bends! Gradually the route transforms, the temperature (if you are riding in summer) increases as you reach the vast open plains just after RP 22 Villatuerta. The roads become straighter but there is a charm to the countryside with the route bordered by wheat fields with poppies. We found refuge from the heat in Sanguesa RP 27 with its streets of very tall stone buildings providing shaded tables and bars with refreshing, tangy, homemade lemonade with lots of ice. The end destination of Sos del Rey (a fortified hilltop village) becomes visible as it is perched on top of a hill, like an island in the flat plain. Charming place for an overnight stop with narrow streets to walk, bars and restaurants. As it is a walled town you have to park outside and walk into the medieval centre but it is not much of a hardship as the architecture is stunning in it’s antiquity. Our hotel for the night was The Infanzon which was small but very comfortable and a good breakfast in the morning. Here is a link to the hotel: https://casadelinfanzon.com/en/Great twisty roads
