When i went i weighed up the options and went this way
1= flew Easy jet (Madrid) £45.00 return = yes indeed it was cheap..off season see.
2= found a cheap hotel for the night,,
3= Next day picked up a hire bike,pre arranged on t web.£260.00 for 5 days inc insurance
4= Stayed B and B up in the mountains,,nice little village (certainly no partying :'( ) not even speako Enleesh,amazing ride down the mountains every morning and back.
5=3 nights b and b and evening meals,( dont know what i ate,,coulnt read menu,,nor dey understand :lol 130 euro's
And back again,,brilliant trip,,about 300 miles i think from madrid to Cheste.
I spoke to lots of English bikers there who were dreading the next day after the race,,1000 miles back to ferry north Spain then 2 days on ferry if i remember correct.
If i went again i would still do this.
