The Bespoke Pyrenees Rally hits the road in this week setting off through the wild frontier-land of Northern Spain and Southern France. This majestic mountain range – straddling the border from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean – was until modern times unpassable for several months of the year. The roads that now snake their way over its snow-capped ridge are famous for their steep climbs, hairpin bends and breath-taking views. It all adds up to an iconic driving experience. 

Starting in the historic Spanish town of Pamplona, home to the annual running of the bulls, we will head eastwards into the Pyrenean foothills. The route passes through lush green valleys dotted with sleepy villages, distinctive churches and sacred pilgrimage sites.  Gaining altitude with every twist and turn, we pass Alpine lakes and rushing waterfalls and enter a wilder landscape that reveals the full majesty of the Pyrenean peaks.
