Then, personally, I'd bash over the Pyrenees. I've been talking about another go, as a tour with the missus for a while. Maybe doing it from San Seb towards the east instead this time. Steal the TPR route or http://www.ccb-cyclo.fr/en/raid-pyreneenÂ.html route.
But equally, the area where the Vacant Mountains routes are still has plenty of roads so you could make some really nice, low-traffic routes down there.
hippy
I can't remember if you're on or off road?
I'm lazy so I mostly copy other people's routes/ideas unless it's a race. I've loved Transiberica and Transpyrenees and off-road stuff near Amposta and Ernesto / Vacant Mountains from https://bikepacking.com/routes/montanas-vacias/ and https://bikepacking.com/routes/altravesur-bikepacking-route/
Also off-road El Piri is a tough but stunning route/event by @skinny start/finish in Girona. Badlands down south was cool - Sierra Nevadas are your southern lumpy options (Granada)

Anyway, just look at some of these for pictures and routes and see what tickles your fancy based on what you like riding.
