Surviving the El Piri Bikepacking Route: Swamps, Pizza & Thunderstorms

Surviving the El Piri Bikepacking Route: Swamps, Pizza & Thunderstorms

Cycling the world – Europe: 167 episode
In this third episode of my journey along the El Piri bikepacking route, which will eventually lead me to Andorra as part of my round-the-world bike tour, I start the day in my wildcamp deep in the forest, cooking tortellini with the porcini mushroom I found the previous night. The day begins with a tough climb that takes me into France along the historic smugglers’ route. After a brief stop in a French village, I cross back into Spain and visit a supermarket to stock up on provisions and showcase the best beers in Spain. Back on the trail, I encounter a swampy path along the river, forcing me to stop and reroute multiple times. In the evening, I arrive at a village where a group of cyclists invites me to join them for pizza. I camp just outside the village and the next day tackle a long climb, eventually reaching a refugio just in time to camp before a massive thunderstorm hits.
