Touring spain in 10 days from madrid
This is a guide for lovers of motorized tourism, the slow tourism, the one that sometimes improvises, that travels through urban and rural areas, natural parks and cities and towns. I will now explain how I have structured it.
If you want to focus on visiting Galicia, in this article I break down the community where I live and if you are planning to do the Camino, in this article I tell everything NOT to see in Santiago de Compostela in 1 day to miss the city.
This route through the Aragonese Pyrenees goes from the valley of Gistaín to the valley of Hecho, passing through the area of the National Park of Ordesa and Monte Perdido. It is one of the slowdriving routes proposed by Turismo de Aragón.
Estimated time for the complete route: about 15 days (20 if you want to do several trekking or skiing, depending on the season). If you want to do only the Ordesa Park and surroundings, 5-6 days may be enough (including some easy trekking routes).
