    Hola Oriol, pues hicimos muchos tramos por carretera y algunas pistas, pero en esta ocasión no cogimos senderos, así que no creo que sea necesaria un BTT. El tramos quizá más malo es el que va desde Seki y Qax, pero vamos como una pista un poco bacheada aquí.
    Espero que te ayude, si necesitas algo más nos comentas.

    Hi Barry,

    The border can be crossed without problem. You will have to search for information if you need a visa for South African citizens.
    I think the bike you are talking about is very good for this trip. There are few areas without asphalt.
    Have a nice trip!
