The Picos de Europa is a range of mountains

on the north coast of Sparn. It was Spain's firsl
National Park, The road lhrough thrs beauliful
region is probably the best drive in Europe. I did
this trip with my family last summer. We started
in Sanlander and drove over the mountains and
through green va11eys, where we saw horses in the
fields. This is a great piace for walkrng. The Prcos
de Europa Park is very beautiful, but prelty sma1l
A lot of tourists go there in the summer, so it's best
to go in the spring.

Route 62 in South Africa is an old road thal goes

between Cape Town and Oudlshoorn. It's one
of the most beautrful roads in the country and
follows the Breede river through a green va11ey
with trees and wrld flowers. This area is aiso
famous for its wine-making and there are a lot
of interesling places where you can stop and eat
The N2-"lhe Garden Route"-is near Rollte 62. It's
probably South Afrlca's most famous road, but
there's a lot of traffic on it. I thtnk Route 62 is
quieter and more inleresting lhan the N2.
