El Piri bikepacking route: Girona to Andorra Begins!
Cycling the world - Europe: 165 episode
In this episode I leave Girona and head towards Andorra, following the El Piri bikepacking route in the Spanish Pyrenees, which also touches France and Andorra. Starting a bit late after exploring the old town of Girona, I set off on the anticlockwise segment from Girona to Andorra. The weather wasn’t ideal, but fortunately, it didn’t rain until after I pitched my tent. However, I discovered two small leaks in my 4-year-old tent during the night as the rain started. The next day was mostly dry, though the cool temperatures combined with high humidity made me sweat like a beast. Towards the end of the day, I faced a long climb and struggled to find a suitable campsite for the night.

What is the cycle computer u are using thanks
Just a cheap Sigma, there was an offer on Amazon for like 20€. Previously Cateye.
Well, for cyclists Girona is the most famous place in the EU, and a must-destination for anyone cycling in Spain! There are a lots of UA-cam videos about the Girona, even some american Cyclers and you tubers have moved to the Girona because of the hype, you could have made your own UA-cam impression of the Girona and the "Cycling Mecca"!
I think it’s just a hype because of Game of Thrones. There are many cities in Spain that are more friendly and welcoming, cheaper, better climate, more diverse landscapes and ultimately better cycling. Defo I’d rather live in Granada than Girona.
Try aquaseal for your tent
I use Fast Curing SeamGrip.
Try Welcome to my Garden. Many hosts in Belgium France etc. that have their gardens available free of charge
The problem is the fragmentation of those platforms: Couchsurfing, Warmshowers, BeWelcome, Welcometo my garden etc. Then people forget they even have an account there let alone replying to the requests. Every day there is one new platform. I wish there was only one.
@@DavideTravelli its there for some years. Can be usefully, especially in and around cities where there is no camping ground available. I have used it several times and most of the hosts have a similar background/interest in cycling and bikepacking. More than 6800 gardens available in Europe and beyond. And sometimes when the host is not there you still get access .
@MarceltheParcel I don’t have any problem finding a place to camp. It’s more getting a shower, laundry, internet etc
Welcome to Algeria au future 🎉🎉

Is the idea of having the weight at the front to make the bike equally balanced with your body weight being more to the rear? Impressing journey you are on and have been on for such a long time-subscribed👍
@@Ekirea yeah better weight balance and better handling of the bike on dirt are the main pros of front loading!
Bella recension! Volevo solo dare un informazione sui dati di temperatura dati dai produttori. Il dato da considerare è quello di comfort e non quello limite, questo perché il limite è una temperatura di tolleranza limite nel quale ci terrà al sicuro ma non al caldo. Sono chiaramente dati indicativi e cambiano in base alla propria tolleranza termica
Vai Davide, vai e non fermarti mai.

Grazie e buona giornata.

Hola Davide! Efectivamente escogiste el camino más duro..La sierra que recorre la costa de Barcelona hacia Girona es un continuo sube/baja que te acaba agotando!. No hay grandes montañas pero sí muchas. Y el desnivel acumulado se acaba pagando aunque tú estás muy fuerte. Gracias por el video. Salut I pedals!
Gracias y buenas rutas! 👊
Thank you Davide, I will try this.
Hopefully it works for you too1

Spain landscape and countryside is beautiful. Makes us want to travel there. Great postcards. You’ve got the photographer’s eye! Thank you Davide.
You should visit Spain…it’s great!
What camera do you use? I also like photography, but I own a reflex, i think is too big to carry on a bike
@roberto5602 it’s an old and beaten apsc camera the Sony a5100

Yeah, Komoot...9April24, it sent me on a beautiful track North of Durango, México, which got wilder and then stopped at a gate which had been very deliberately closed, with barbed wire on top. There were cows and a caravan, but no dogs or meth lab so I lifted the bike over somehow...Further down a gate was padlocked...then it was opened. On balance I was happy because it turned out ok and the track was beautiful, but it could've been a hassle.
Komoot adventures!

At 29:00 both men offered to help lift the bike, generous ❤
At 17:50 thay was not a mosque, its a renting place of a religious man, we call them مقام والي صالح or wali The thing that is smeared in the walls is henna , traditionally we put colourfully fabrics and candle inside as well. That was not shit 😅
At 11:40, the old man to which you said salam to , replied with wa alaikum esalem, but then he asked if you needed any help: makhossek walou!! ما يخصك والو؟ Very adorable and kind ❤😊
what is that bar in which your Garmin is installed? That seems quite neat
You can find thousands on Amazon just search something like bike extension bar or something like that. You should find different sizes.

?? paypal says 'this recipient can't accept payments right now'.
@@davidanderson215 yeah unfortunately paypal is country specific and using it while travelling trigger all sorts of anti scam algorithms and eventually the account gets blocked. I am waiting for paypal to unlock the account but it's taking forever so I am setting up an alternative platform (Stripe) meanwhile revolut.me/davidetravelli is active. Sorry about this.

Camping is not allowed in the entire natural area of the Sierra de Tramuntana because it is a World Heritage Site and may be subject to sanctions.
I'm cycling around the world and follow the leave no traces principles. I surely have more respect for the nature than the two idiots park guards I met.
Hola, Davide. En el minuto 1:30, ese zócalo de madera en el borde izquierdo es una guía para las personas invidentes. No sé si llegaste a ver que había carteles informativos de la flora y fauna a lo largo de ese tramo. En el zócalo, mediante una malla, los invidentes pueden localizarlos con sus bastones. Un saludo y buen viaje.
Hola Aina, gracias por el dato. Ahora tiene mas sentido!

We Germans love our ferries.There are not many left and all of them are privately owned. Somewhere they have to get the money to keep the ship running and pay the ferry-personnel.
It’s medieval. They should build bridges and the people who likes ferries they can take the ferry and pay even more for the pleasure.
I've been in their shoes, They wanted to clear their responsibility, Algeria doesn't get many tourists and in case something happens to you, you been in their area makes it their responsibility
I know that but it doesnt make it less annoying 😅
@@DavideTravelli it is! Part of the raw Algerian experience nonetheless 🤣 I salute you for your adventurous soul
Cheers!
Unfortunately, our country is an enemy of tourism. We live in Algeria, and when we move from one region to another, we are stopped by the Algerian police, and they even give us fines on a bicycle and even a prison sentence. So I hated the hobby of exploring in the country.
Can’t find those in 2.8 only 2.6.. can you link them?
Where are you from?

@TheScatman89 ah in Europe I just googled they available in my places. Perhaps bike24 ships to Australia?

Davide, how do you manage shaving, especially your head on such tours? Head is normally electric, no? Ciao Frank
I use a simple razor, the same for head and beard most of the time with normal soap bar 😅

Nah it’s easy

Davide, I'm just catching back up with your travels, and before I forget, I want to request that you ride the Appian Way sometime in the future. You could stop and film so much amazing history on the journey. Cheers. Now I better start catching up, I'm behind a few episodes.
Great suggestion! Although I dont think the Appia Antica is that interesting 😊🙏
@@DavideTravelli Not that interesting? Surely you jest! 😉 All things Roman history are interesting. I also wanted to tell you your PayPsl gives a message "you are no longer accepting cash payments", didn't know if you knew this.
@@Deadfoot-Dan yeah I’m aware! They terminated my account. I made an appeal and made a post on social media trying to find a direct contact at PayPal which I did but many people found themselves in my situation and it’s never quick. Basically PayPal is country and using it while travelling triggers al sorts of flags. Normally I never touch it, it’s all automated but I needed to update my expired credit card an FB because my bank is Irish and I was in France and the process failed a few times because I had forgotten to activate the credit card. Long story short I cannot use PayPal for the time being possibly ever. At the moment the only way is bank transfers for Europeans and I think I should be able to accept bank transfers with a us bank account number as I have a Wise app account that I never really used but it’s active. For a more long term solution, recurring donations (monthly subscriptions) etc I need to setup a new platform which is probably Stripe but it might take a couple of weeks to setup.
If I knew you were here in Mallorca you could have stayed at my house. I go camping very often to that lluc campsite, it's really relaxing. About the GR221 it's really fun, but walking, not with bikes. Of course you can do it with bike, but it's the difference between joy and suffering. I'm doing it hiking in the winter, staying in refugios. And finally, I didn't know you were from Bergamo, I was there last week for working reasons, but in the afternoon I went to Lecco, I rented a bike and I cycle a little bit by the lake of Como. Very very nice area, I want to go back. Saluti
Yeah that would have been nice, I didnt find any hosts in Mallorca and stayed in Lluc because of the rain bu also I really needed to get a shower 😅 Next time you are in Bergamo you should go up Citta' Alta is nice and charming and do some of the classic climbs we have cycling up either Val Brembana or Val Seriana. In Bergamo there is also a very nice hiking trail it's called Sentiero delle Orobie and you can sleep each night at the rifugio but the rifugio are all managed so you have to pay.
