Off Road Tours in Spain

Off Road Tours in Spain

While wilderness isn’t the first word that usually comes to mind when thinking of Spain, off road tours in Spain can take you far from the cities where you can lose yourself in the wonders of nature.

The Pyrenees

From the Bay of Biscay to the warm blue waters of the Mediterranean, the Pyrenees create a natural border between Spain and France. The Pyrenees region is a genuine paradise and has often been described as one of Europe’s last true wilderness areas. A truly glorious region for sightseeing, off road tours in Spain can take you high into the spectacular alpine meadows, dense forests and pristine rivers of the mountains.

Catalonia

A somewhat triangular region in the far north-east corner of Spain, Catalonia is bordered from southern France by the Pyrenean Mountains. With a distinct and rich history dating back to the Middle Ages, the Catalonia region has been part of Spain since the 15th century when King Ferdinand of Aragon married Queen Isabella of Castile and united their realms. However, many Catalans still think of the region as a distinct nation from the rest of Spain.

Wildlife

Off road tours in Spain can take you into areas that hold some of the last remnants of the great herds of wildlife that once roamed the Spanish countryside. In addition to many species of birds, such as eagles, griffin vultures, buzzards, kites and the rare Lammergeyer, off road tours in Spain can take you in search of the great mouflon wild sheep, boar, lynx, chamois, wolves and the ever-increasing population of the Pyrenean brown bear.

Clothing

It is essential that participants in off road tours in Spain dress accordingly. Sensible shoes for hiking and warm clothing, so as to be prepared for the ever-changing conditions in the mountains, are essential.
