Day 11 – Perpignan to Portbou

«
»

It was only 55km so I thought why not, lets hug the coast and break through another border.

Amongst the coastal towns I crused through today were; Port Vendres, Paulilles, Banyuls-sur-Mer, Cerbere & Portbau. I have to say, of the entire trip so far (and I can’t say this about any other) the D914 really is an awesome road. My favourite. I’ve never had a favourite road before but, well… it’s just great to keep turning a corner and seeing the med in all it’s panorama. On a slightly separate note (as all the other video recording attempts failed miserably) here’s me coming in to Port Vendres. It’s the first time I’d seen the sea for a while so was very very happy with it.

Here are the pictures from the day along with a plaque I noticed as I rode in to Spain (Portbou is 1km from the border) describing the Spanish civil war:

 

Ps. The fresh fish tastes great and motorbikes loooove these roads. Coming out of Vendres there was a crew of 30 or so all riding ancient classics.
