Does anybody have a copy of Cicerone Cycle Touring in Spain by Harry Dowdell? I am looking for a guide book to take me coast to coast through the Spanish Pyrenees and this seems to be the only cycle touring book I can find on the internerd. It seems to have a section on the Pyrenees but I can't figure out if it has a route for a full length traverse equivalent to the French Pyreneean Raid. If it doesn't then I waste my money if I buy it... Anyone any other suggestions for guides/routes? Maybe on another thread back along the way here? Help much appreciated, time running out for planning...

Try to google "Transpirenaica". This is the Spanish name for the route you are interested in, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic through the Pyrenees. Most of the route are paths, so it is considered very hard.

I haven't made it yet so I can not help much about it.
