I saw many solo tourers around the countryside laden down with panniers and big smiles. Even with limited Español it is possible to get by 'independiente' like.
The country is very challenging terrain wise, and triple chainsets absolute must for touring. But what is remarkable is that most people stop to help if you are in trouble, because they care about the visitors they have. And bike shops are as common as nail bars in the cities, lol
The exchange rate and low living costs means your GBP go further than you can imagine.
