The Trans-Pyreneans: Mediterranean to the Atlantic in Porsche

Six nights from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, guided, fourteen hundred kilometres across the Pyrenees in a rotating fleet of classic Porsches.

This is the flagship, and the shape of it is the appeal: a sea-to-sea crossing of the whole mountain range, with the car changing every half hour so nobody spends the week in the same seat.

Terramar opens it again with the briefing and the test drives, then lunch at Sitges and a night at the Hotel MonSant Benet by way of Montserrat. The Pre-Pyrenees follow, with the motorcycle museum at Bassella and a night at Baqueira. The route then crosses the high Pyrenees to Ainsa-Sobrarbe, a medieval Aragonese town, and on to a night at Canfranc Station, an enormous Beaux-Arts railway palace built in 1928 at the mouth of a tunnel under the border, disused for forty years and now a hotel. The Basque foothills come next, with lunch at Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on the Camino, and a night at Auberge Ostape. San Sebastian and the Atlantic follow, with a night at the Parador at Sos del Rey Catolico, and the Bardenas Reales close it, a semi-desert of sculpted clay badlands unlike anything else in Spain.

Access to the full fourteen-car fleet with rotation throughout, six nights in luxury hotels, every breakfast and a gourmet dinner each evening, a professional roadbook and guiding, fuel and insurance for all the vehicles, the exclusive use of Terramar and the routes themselves are all included; international flights, transfers, extra nights, travel insurance, drinks outside the tastings and tips are not. The price shown is per person sharing. Late spring to early autumn is the window, since the high passes carry snow outside it. Seven days is what a proper crossing needs, and the Canfranc night is the one guests tend to talk about afterwards.
