Feedback on my Pyrenees itinerary
 

Hi all, any feedback on this itinerary for a one night, 4 person guys' trip, one way (flying the other direction)? Huge foodies, embibing, tips for natural hot springs/spas with hot pools welcome:

DAY 1 - San Sebastián to Vielha, Val d'Aran, North route through France. *Early night the night before, depart earlier so time for random stops along the way, and earlier lunch and dinner, to leave time for pubs in Vielha. Site seeing: Restaurant du Pic du Midi, some of the best mountaintop restaurant views in the Pyrenees, top of the gondola, small bite, beers. Early lunch:Er Occitan.Google 4.7 ⭐ (740+ reviews) · Michelin €€ (Michelin mention).Classic mountain dishes in a charming village.Bossòst (~10 km west of Vielha, also good pub scene at night). Hot pools / spa:Termas Baronía de Les.Just north of Bossòst, soak, views, beers. Site seeing, snacks, drinks:Arties (town, ~5 km east of Vielha) - considered most beautiful in Val d'Aran, stone houses, Romanesque churches, riverside setting, mountain backdrop, highest concentration of upscale hotels/spas.

I'm sorry, but I'm finding it extremely hard to follow your plan. If you want input, I'd advise you to restate your plan in a way that makes it clear what you plan to do when, in temporal sequence, perhaps eliminating all the commentary....

Welcome to Fodors. . . . and maybe add some paragraph breaks?? Your post is very difficult to read.

so difficult that I cannot be both...

Driving with visits to numerous pubs???

Whoops... Yes that looks like a nightmare lol. My bad.

I'll try again: I would really appreciate any feedback on this itinerary for a one night, 4 person guys' trip, one way (flying the other direction). Huge foodies, embibing, tips for natural hot springs/spas with hot pools welcome:

*Note: we have a designated driver. DAY 1 - San Sebastián to Vielha, Val d'Aran, North route through France.

*Early night the night before, depart earlier so time for random stops along the way, and earlier lunch and dinner, to leave time for pubs in Vielha.

I loved Taull. I'm not sure you are giving it enough time, but of course that depends on what you want to see and experience there.
