RouteXpert Review There are no scheduled stops for refueling, eating or drinking. When the opportunity presents itself, stop at one of the points indicated by a POI. Along the way there are several small villages with restaurants or cafes.
Hotels, sights and recommended points to stop to enjoy the view are also marked with a POI.
The 3rd day we drive a shorter route where we drive on beautiful roads and passes with many beautiful curves. Along the way you will pass several beautiful azure blue mountain lakes, small villages and historic buildings. The roads are varied from beautiful wide two-lane roads to very narrow mountain roads where you drive one turn after another, so enjoy. Part of the route leads through the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park, also known as The Pearl of the Aragonese Pyrenees.
In Aragón, the Pyrenees are rougher and rougher than those in Navarre or Catalonia. The Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido is the pearl of the Aragonese Pyrenees. This 16,000 ha National Park was established in 1918 and declared a protected area. In 1982 the park was expanded with the Monte-Perdido (3355m) Massif and four valleys. In 1997 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The park is home to one of the most impressive landscapes of the Spanish Pyrenees and is very popular with hikers and nature lovers! Thanks to the varied fauna and flora, the area is of great ecological value. The park is at its best in the summer and fall.
Here too beautiful panoramas and lots of curves.
On this ride you will pass the following beautiful route points, such as;
RP2. Puerto de Bonansa
RP3. Lookout; Mirador del Isábena
RP6. Lookout; Mirador del Pantano. Nice view of the Embalse del Grado reservoir.
RP12 Plaza Mayor Ainsa, very nice village to stop for sight seeing, have a nice lunch and for the fans a visit to one of the museums.
RP15 Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park
I appreciate this with 5 stars because of the beautiful roads, panoramas and beautiful villages along the way.

Aragon
About this region
Aragon ( or , Spanish and Aragonese: Aragón [aɾaˈɣon], Catalan: Aragó [əɾəˈɣo]) is an autonomous community in Spain, coextensive with the medieval Kingdom of Aragon. In northeastern Spain, the Aragonese autonomous community comprises three provinces (from north to south): Huesca, Zaragoza, and Teruel. Its capital is Zaragoza. The current Statute of Autonomy declares Aragon a historic nationality of Spain.
Covering an area of 47720 km2 (18420 sq mi), the region's terrain ranges diversely from permanent glaciers to verdant valleys, rich pasture lands and orchards, through to the arid steppe plains of the central lowlands. Aragon is home to many rivers—most notably, the river Ebro, Spain's largest river in volume, which runs west–east across the entire region through the province of Zaragoza. It is also home to the highest mountains of the Pyrenees.
As of January 2020, the population of Aragon was 1329391, with over half of it living in its capital city, Zaragoza. During the same year, the economy of Aragon generated a GDP of €34687 million, which represents 3.1% of Spain's national GDP, and is currently 6th in per capita production behind Madrid, Basque Country, Navarre, Catalonia and La Rioja.In addition to its three provinces, Aragon is subdivided into 33 comarcas or counties. All comarcas of Aragon have a rich geopolitical and cultural history from its pre-Roman, Celtic and Roman days, four centuries of Islamic rule as Marca Superior of Al-Andalus or kingdom (or taifa) of Saraqusta, as lands that once belonged to the Frankish Marca Hispanica, counties that later formed the Kingdom of Aragon, and eventually the Crown of Aragon.

Route Collections in this region 7 day roundtrip from Girona to Catalonia Andorra and the Pyrenees
The Pyrenees stretch for more than 450 kilometers from the Bay of Biscay in the west to the Cap de Creus on the Mediterranean. The mountain range, with peaks of more than 3000 meters, forms a natural barrier that cuts off the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe. The main ridge of the mountain range also largely forms the state border between France and Spain, while the microstate Andorra lies between these two countries.
Bordering the Pyrenees is Catalonia, the hinterland of Barcelona. No wonder many new models of motorcycles are introduced to the press in Catalonia. There are many great ways to test the new models there. An additional advantage is that it is very quiet! You would almost say 'too quiet' because there is a danger that at some point you will use the entire width of the road, under the guise of 'you won't see oncoming traffic here'.... But let's keep it safe and stay on the right side of the center line.
These seven routes of this collection pass through these beautiful areas. Each and every one of these routes where especially the sides of the tires have a hard time. Whether on the gentle slopes in Catalonia or on the balcony roads in the Gorges in the French Pyrenees, make sure they're excited, because you can bet it's going to be exciting!
A few sights are discussed in the review for each route. These often tell something about the history of the area in which you drive. Fun facts, quite educational. There are also places where you can refuel and where you can drink coffee and/or have lunch. You are completely free to visit these places, you can of course also determine your own points of interest.
But the main thing you probably traveled to this area for is simply driving. And as mentioned above, you are in a true motorcycle paradise where the steering is fantastic!
Each route ends at a hotel. It is of course not an obligation to use these hotels, you can always find another place to stay in the area, that decision is up to you. My experience, however, is that they are all simple but good hotels for a very reasonable price. They are known and can be booked at booking.com.
The routes of these collections:
R01 - Girona to Sant Julia de Loria, 269km
R02 - Sant Julia de Loria to Pierrefitte Nestalas, 290km
R03 - Pierrefitte Nestalas to Barbastro, 291km
