Hi,
Im gonna be doing a few week tour from Alicante Spain to london, thinking of going up coast, barcelona, then inland to andorra, toulouse, milau, zurich, insbruck, nuremberg, berlin, hamburg, eindhoven, antwerp london....

Done big miles before, from inverness to alicante in 3 days, alicante to monaco in a day etc.. but a bit more relaxed trip with days off to sight see..
Basically spain france, switzerland, austria, germany, netherlands and belgium
Been reading other post on places to stay in europe, any advice on must see places, roads, places to stay, where not to go.. and anyone coming? lol

Millau is impressive.

Do the whole route of C13 N260 D918 - Tour du France routes taking in Col D'Aspin and Col d'Tourmalat.

The Route Napoleon from Grasse to Grenoble (N85) is fantastic, but cut over to Digne Les Bains, Briancon and pick up the Route des Grande Alpes (D902) up to Thonon Les Baines.  Go via Col 'dLiseran and through Val d'Isere to Cormet d'Rosseland/Barage d'Rosseland  and Bourg St Maurice

Couldn't agree more. The N240 across to Perpignan from Bilbao was amazing. I crossed the pyrenees  on trip to morocco the following year. The 10km tunnel at  Canfranc estation was shut so i had ride literally over the top  (30km of  sub zero temps, ice and snow in may!) torn between taking Mrs T there to see it or doing the Austria thing. Decisions decisions! Like the idea of Millau and Austria so that may clinch it!
And it will be first euro trip for GTR as well!
