Hi there
I'm lloking for some advice as to a base and means of transport for a trip to the tour next year. I haven't been before so if anyone can share some local knowledge and advice based on past experience I'd appreciate it
The boss has agreed to a holiday in the Barcelona area at the time of the tour. There is a stage finish on thursday 9th July. We're planning to fly in on the Wednesday night and spend the day in Barca on the thursday and see the stage finish. The plan is then to head towards Andorra Arclais and situate ourselves on one of the climbs. Its approx a 200km drive from Barca. Would you have to leave that evening and spend the night in the car on either the Port d'Olina or on the final climb or could you leave the hotel at 4 or 5 am and be up before the roads close?
After that its back to Barca and begin the payback process for subjecting her to two days of wiating for 200 men on bikes to pass :roll:
Having never been there before I'd appreciate any advice..
