Yes it was possible, the Spanish can also be quite adventurous with their vehicles, I was able to park within sight of the stage tape on most occasions passing pretty much everything else, using tracks to get to mid stage points getting in and out quick and having a few adventures along the way. I went in 2018 too planned it better and watched in some outstanding spots that year going for a proper lunch between stages, this year went to less effort and it showed, my Rally interest is waning I am afraid. If your a adv bike and rally car fan it can make for a very good trip, knocks spots off going to the Wales Rally GB as I used to a few years ago but that was just up the road. In 2018 I stayed in a hotel in Flix, this year I camped in Mequienenza which was not ideal but my hand was forced earlier in the day with a technical. Party atmosphere in the villages close to any stages, people seem to enjoy it fans or not, I never went to Salou, Recommended, if i can help in anyway ping me.

Thanks for posting up Paul, looks like you had a great trip.

I agree about Spain, it never disappoints and could easily go there every year - but so many places to go.
Do I recognise those abandoned stone buildings from the Aragon HISS?

Its possible that the buildings are familiar but I passed so many, quite sad really peoples childhood homes left to become ruins.

the middle one is not quite authentic. The vultures waiting for old BMW's riders ?
