Suggested Itinerary
DAY 1 · ARRIVAL IN BARCELONA & THE PYRENEES FOOTHILLS
Arrive at Barcelona Airport and enjoy a private transfer to your hotel in the Pyrenees foothills, approximately an hour from the airport. This peaceful setting offers a relaxed start to your journey. To explore Barcelona, add one or more nights in the city before your tour.
In the late afternoon or early evening, meet your tour specialist for the delivery of your chosen performance car, a personal briefing, pre-programmed GPS and a detailed road book. Personal support is available throughout your trip.
For this one-way journey, we recommend travelling with two carry-on-sized bags. Additional luggage arrangements can be discussed when planning your tour.
DAY 2 · THE N-260 & HIGH PASSES TO ANDORRA
Your first driving day introduces the sweeping bends and mountain scenery of the N-260. Follow quiet valleys and winding roads through the Pyrenees, before climbing toward Port d’Envalira and entering the Principality of Andorra. Arrive at your luxury mountain hotel with time to settle in, enjoy the spa or take a leisurely walk before dinner.
DAY 3 · ANDORRA AT YOUR LEISURE
Spend a second night in Andorra, with a full day to enjoy the mountains at your own pace. Take a scenic walk near Canillo, visit the dramatic Pont Tibetà suspension bridge, or simply unwind at your hotel. Spa time, mountain views and an unhurried lunch offer a welcome pause between driving days.
DAY 4 · THROUGH THE PYRENEES TO CANFRANC
Continue into the heart of the Spanish Pyrenees, linking the bends of Puerto del Cantó and Bonaigua with remote valleys, gorge roads and changing mountain landscapes. Pause along the way for lunch and panoramic viewpoints.
Your destination is Canfranc Estación, a grand former international railway station transformed into a luxury hotel. Settle in for the first of two nights at one of the journey’s most distinctive stays.
DAY 5 · A LOOP THROUGH THE FRENCH PYRENEES
Cross into France for a rewarding mountain loop over Col du Pourtalet and Col de Marie-Blanque. These roads combine open alpine scenery with wooded slopes, winding climbs and quieter stretches through the valleys.
Return to Canfranc Estación for a relaxed evening, with the option to dine in restored railway carriages — an atmospheric reminder of the station’s travelling past.
DAY 6 · NAVARRA & RONCESVALLES TO THE ATLANTIC
Leave the high mountains behind and travel through Navarra, passing Yesa Reservoir and the historic landscapes around Roncesvalles, closely associated with the Camino de Santiago. Mountain roads gradually give way to green countryside as you approach the Atlantic. Finish your drive in San Sebastián, Spain, or Biarritz, France, where your car is collected at your hotel.
DAY 7 · DEPARTURE OR EXTEND YOUR STAY
Your driving holiday concludes after breakfast in San Sebastián, Spain, or Biarritz, France. Head home, extend your stay with one of the optional experiences below, or continue by direct train to Madrid from San Sebastián or Paris from Biarritz.
