Today the tour reveals its signature character. Leaving the city behind, you enter the Pyrenees and pick up the legendary N-260, a mountain road prized for its flow, minimal traffic, and near-constant scenery. The route climbs steadily toward Port d’Envalira (2,408 m) — the highest paved pass in the Pyrenees — before descending into the Principality of Andorra. The afternoon is deliberately flexible: explore the old streets, pause for a long lunch, or simply enjoy the quiet mountain atmosphere before your first alpine evening.

A slower day in the mountains to balance the longer driving stages ahead. Spend the morning on a scenic walk near Canillo, and if you wish, cross the Pont Tibetà, a dramatic suspension bridge with sweeping valley views. The rest of the day is yours — boutique spa time, relaxed dining, and the simple luxury of being in the Pyrenees without a schedule.

This is a pure Pyrenees stage, built around rhythm and variety. You’ll cross deep interior mountain terrain, linking dramatic passes such as Puerto del Cantó and Bonaigua, with tunnels, gorge roads, and panoramic viewpoints that appear when you least expect them.

By late afternoon, you arrive at one of the tour’s signature stays: Canfranc Estación, a grand former border railway station reborn as a luxury hotel — atmospheric, unexpected, and perfectly placed for the next day’s driving.

A day designed for drivers who love mountain roads with history. You’ll tackle classic Pyrenean passes such as Col du Pourtalet and Col de Marie-Blanque, famous from the Tour de France, with narrow sections, dramatic gorges, and remote alpine scenery.

After a full day in the mountains, you return to Canfranc Estación for a second night — and an evening highlight: dining in beautifully restored railway wagons, echoing the golden age of travel.

The scenery shifts as you leave the high Pyrenees and travel through Navarra, passing the tranquil Yesa Reservoir and the historic Roncesvalles Pass — a storied gateway tied to the Camino de Santiago. The driving becomes more open and expansive, with long sightlines and a sense of progress toward the coast. By evening, you arrive at the Atlantic.

Choose the ending that matches your style:

Option A — San Sebastián (Spain): A vibrant Basque coastal jewel known for golden beaches, refined hotels, and world-class gastronomy — the perfect place to celebrate the journey with an unforgettable dinner.

Option B — Biarritz (France): A more understated, elegant Atlantic finish with grand hotels, coastal promenades, and a distinctly French seaside atmosphere — ideal if you prefer a calmer, refined finale.

Enjoy a relaxed final day before departing for your next destination
