From the Mediterranean Sea to the Cantabrian Sea
The Pyrenees mountain range is a bastion, a natural frontier, which rises majestically to the northern edge of the Iberian Peninsula, between Spain, Andorra and France. It crosses more than 400 kilometers from the Cantabrian Sea (Vizcaya gulf) in the west to the Mediterranean Sea (Creus cape) in the east.
With more than two hundred peaks that exceed 3,000 meters of altitude, the Pyrenees have the last Iberian glaciers, wide valleys, deep canyons and extensive forests. Here survive the last brown bears, the most important population of quebrantahuesos in Europe and species very adapted to the climatic rigors such as the ptarmigan or edelweiss.
The inhabitants of the Pyrenees are people with mountain tradition and gastronomy, based on products from the area cooked on a low fire. Ternasco (lamb) from Aragón, breadcrumbs shepherdess style, mushrooms or products from the sea, accompanied by succulent broths, are some of the fantastic products we might enjoy from the Pyrenean area.
With more than 1,000 km, Transpirenaica is one of the most emblematic routes that every MTB lover must do at some point in his or her life.
This is a personal and physical challenge in which we will face endless ascents, we will visit beautiful mountain villages crossing magical forests, where the immensity of the Pyrenees and its high peaks will captivate us and make us fall in love with it like no other place.
Its geological whims harbor a climate that can both caress you gently and bury you with the harshest and most inhospitable of environments. With its peaks, heights, impossible reliefs, snow and ice, they preserve native forests, besieged and isolated creatures, wildlife that resists to lose its innocence.
Magical corners where we can feel nature as we have never lived before. Places that will be part of us forever.
These are unforgettable memories that will comfort us throughout our lives.
