Picos or Pyrenees

If you've done both, which one do you rate for best twisty riding?

Having been to the Pyrenees countless times, I find it hard to believe anything could be better.

Tbh I'm with you on that but I'd hate to miss a trick or two.. Going again in may -it's turning into a yearly bash, I just wish the ferry was a bit cheaper

I should be on the east side of the French pyranees next may- give me shout !

Will do..

I am planning a trip to Pyrenees next summer with my 1290..
Its about 2500km from Norway to the Pyrenees, so i hope its worht it
I was in Italy and the alps this year.. I will return to the alps another year, but the pyrenees looks like its more fun to drive!

Having ridden both, I would say the Pyrenees have slightly less scenic views but many more riders roads..

Pyrenees rule !

Pyrenees

I've done both a few times. The Pyrenees is your relentless Alpine switchbacks, one hairpin after the other plus long sweepers in between. Absolutely fantastic riding and one of the few places where I've turned back and did a stretch of road again because it was so good. Besides the scenery, which is breathtaking, in terms of things to see/do, not a lot. For example I thought Andorra was tacky, uninteresting and full of the sort of people I go on holiday to get away from. The Picos also have brilliant roads but are a bit more varied and have lots of surprises round every corner; also a lot more Spanish than the Pyrenees (obviously!). Probably not quite as spectacular riding but still very, very good.

Either is fantastic though ...
