- Cycling the world - Europe: 144 episode
Embark on a captivating journey through Catalonia's Montsec Bikepacking Loop in this fifth episode, where adventure unfolds under the Spanish sun. Departing from the village of Benabarre after being stranded by heavy rains, I set off into a day that promises the chill of early winter with the sun high but temperatures heading below freezing by nightfall. The trail outside the village, shrouded in woods, offers a blend of beauty and challenge, with muddy paths and the unexpected thrill of nearby hunting operations targeting wild boars. Each dirt road leads me from one vibrant valley to another, showcasing the colorful woods in their early winter attire. As the afternoon progresses into a lengthy climb towards sunset, the effort keeps me warm against the cold, even as I experience a minor setback with my drone. Amidst the ascension, a mesmerizing dance of probably Griffons above heralds the expansive views of snow-covered Pyrenees in the distance. The day's ride, though marred by the sight of a hunting party's catch, closes with a breathtaking orange sunset that blankets the sky, woods, and road, marking another remarkable day on the loop.

Ciao Davide, the views from your drone are so beautiful (even when your drone stops… in a tree 🌳).I also like the birds dancing.
Enjoy Spain !
Thank you Blandine, I will try! 👊
Those big birds looked like vultures to me. Maybe griffon vulture? Thanks for the beautiful scenery, make me wanne ride my bike.
Yeah you probably right. 👊
Love your journey Davide. Thanks for taking the time to post this stuff. All the best. Graham Sheffield, England 🇬🇧🍷
Glad you enjoyed it Graham, it's lots of work but it's a way to give back to all the people that helps me out. 🙏

I see that you skipped quite a few round-trip sections... Finestres is a must-see! It's a wonderful place! I'm going to have to find a different way back hehehe
I did indeed, I skipped all of them. Backtracking is a mortal sin in my book. 😎
@14:05 Griffon Vultures (Gyps fulvus), also know as Eurasian Griffons
Thank you for the identification! 🙏
@@DavideTravelliNo problem!
Davide, I especially love your postcards at the end. You have a great eye and your compositions are perfect!!! Any plans to compile and publish?
Thank you Gina. I did print out a few batches of printed postcards. I will do another run soon. It would be nice to put together like coffee table photobook but I have no idea where to start 😊
There are lots of places on internet to help. There is a guy also on CZcams named Martijn Doolard who made a coffee table book from his bicycle travels.
Thank you!
Why did you stop using Komoot? 😂
It's depressing these app keeps adding useless features without getting the basics right but I guess majority of people is interested in bells and whistles, and frankly very few use those apps longer than a week.

Ciao Davide,
Which bike touring app would you currently recommend? I want to ride Montanas Vacias in May and prepare accordingly. Grazie
You just need to follow the track you download from the website, just you fancy more.
Would you recomend tent or tarp for a 5 day tour? I'm planning it in the summer and i have a tent that is good, but old. Putting it up takes about 20 minutes and it weighs a lot. I could buy a tarp but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not
You can buy a 2person tent in Decathlon for 28€
@@DavideTravelli yes, but im not sure if it'll good quality. One time i was camping in cheap tent and it was leaking in places where it was connecting two pieces of fabric
@leszek9037 the one in decathlon is good enough for a week and better than a tarp
Lmao, ppl killed the predator decades ago and ppl have to be the predator right now. It's also happened at aisa area.
Yeah we the predators
Hello Davide,

SOrry for the late reply, I wasnt notified of this comment. You can download the file from the Montañas Vacias website and use any app with voice navigation. Mapy.cz, Maps.me, OsmAnd Maps etc
