An open invitation to landyzone forum members:-

Having escaped cold dank England, I now live in a little village called Sant Boi de Lluçanès in Catalonia, Spain, midway between Barcelona and Andorra. Christmas Day was 17 degrees, that in itself speaks volumes! Therefore if anybody wants to drop in en route, it's open house here. 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and plenty of room to pitch roof/ground tents.

I recently checked out the local tracks in the mountains just surrounding the village. Starting only two streets from the casa, 49 miles of off-road bliss later, I completed a rather large circle and ended up back at where I started. Note to self: Next time leave earlier in the day!

And BTW, for wine you go to the local village shop, massive barrels of red, self-service into your own plastic bottles, all for 1.60 euros a litre!!! Happy days!

Thanks for your kind offer Tom.
This year I'm already committed, but I'll bare you in mind for next year.
 
Me too - I was looking at doing this as my first 'foreign' expedition after doing some UK ones this year.
 
Hi Tom, interesting post and a great offer to LZ members. I visit Barco a few times a year as its my favourite city, mad I know!
Must get across in the 110 some day. What prompted the move to Spain? Assuming you weren't there already in a different part that is.
Quite fancy a move to that region myself, seems best of both worlds, snow to the north, roasting to the south.
Was wondering about the right to go off road as in green lane type exploring, does Spain have the same type of rights and exclusions to take the beast off tarmac?
