        I don’t know yet. I will plan it for January.

        I considere for now south Spain and Morocco. Then as the weather gets warmer return by bike home or ride somewhere else (depends on situation).

        I don’t know jet how to get there, I would love to take train. If I want to just take bike and ride I would have to do it now (to get there before bad weather).

          Oh man, sounds like you have quite some time on your hands, awesome. International train travel is a mess with a bike, probably makes sense to disassemble for that long of a trip then. Although you’d have time in advance to book something. There should be interesting “intercités de nuit” that would bring you from Paris to the border of Spain over night, I think both ends of Pyrenees, Basque country and catalunya. These trains should take full bikes. I hate the SNCF website though, so confusing and I never get to book a train that I’d like.

            Yeah I know, I read cross border rail blog from Jon Worth.

            My international trips with bike were in Slovakia, Austria and Czech Republic at least somewhere it isn’t a problem.

            Problem is ticketing, trying to find best deals or at least connections because loads of the companies refuse to communicate between themselves.

        I looked in to it and most probably I will take train to Spain, ride there for few weeks, take ferry to canaries then decide what to do next (-;
