Spanish Pyrenees Tours

The grand Pyrenees Mountain Range create a natural geographical dividing frontier between France and Spain. Because of the damp air blowing in from the Atlantic Ocean and across the Bay of Biscay, the western Pyrenees receive greater precipitation than do the eastern slopes.

So there are some glaciers to the west and to the centre of the range, but there are no glacier peaks on the east end. Of course, more moisture also means more plant and tree life. The Eastern Pyrenees are significantly more rugged and barren than are the Central and Western. The areas all along the range are rich in culture, attractions, and wilderness sports, so Andorra and Catalonia vacation destinations and Spanish Pyrenees Tours offer much to travellers who seek adventure.

For sports enthusiasts, the mountains hold many different activities. There is mountaineering and mountain biking. There are the winter alpine skiing and snowboarding. Footpaths offer hours of exploration. The GR 11 and the HRP are accessible for Spanish Pyrenees Tours.

When researching a travel experience in northern Spain, trip planners should not forget Pyrenees tours. Holidaymakers can step into villages steeped in culture and ancient traditions. There are beautiful cathedrals and shrines. The most famous shrine of the Andorra region is the Shrine of Our Lady of Medritxell, patroness of Andorra. In Catalonia there is the wonderful Monastery of Our Lady Montserrat, a Benedictine Abbey. Nestled at the bottom of a ridge, this monastery is worth visiting if just for the stunning setting and architecture alone.

Of course, Pyrenees tours offer exceptional culinary delights. Mutton ribs and locally made sausages are common on the menus served with other local fare. Andorra and Catalonia are known for their delicious cuisine and wines as well

Yes, great Spanish Pyrenees tours are calling all travellers.
