"Riding where there are no roads I can imagine is illegal, but unpaved roads are not illegal I hope.
we planned to ride "some" of them this june"
All off road riding is banned. But donot forget Spain is a big country. Get away of "zonas comanche" and you will be fine. Every county applies the law more or less rigid.
Again, it is not question of behaving or not. It is banned and bills are high, very high. You can see the reallity or not. You can ride all your life and nothing happens, but all of you should be informed that what you are doing in not legal. So be carefull. In general Seprona are more permessive, Forestales are not. Do you know that cross tyres are only allowed in MX circuits??.
My experiences are very simple, in "Zona Comaches" (Madrid, Cataluña and summer in Andalucia) you have to know were to ride or do not ride.

You can train navigation with Jordi Viladoms in the instalation in Calabet (Girona) Jordi Viladoms

http://www.2y4t.com/8/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=70441 Prices at the moment in Spain are highly interested either new or used. For instance a gasgas EC250 (2008) new is about 4500 euros.
In September RumboSur organizes a Dakar training. A few spanish dakar riders will be there. Several levels (groups) will be organized. I know the 2 organizes and they are totally reliable. Prices are very competitive. In a few weeks I will see them and ask about the details. I think the idea was to establish the headquarters in Erfoud.
http://www.aventurarumbosur.es/es-guillermo-robles-hernandez-marruecos.html Also in Octuber a good friend, Pepe Palomares of Dunaaventura plan a week in Marocco with roadbook. Pepe is an intitution in Spain. Perhaps the best spanish dakar motor mechanic. He was the one responsible that the shitty BMW that Pellicer brought to Dakar did not stop working every day. Even though I heard the last day they had to push it to the podium, please don't tell anyone since this is confidential information
.
Pepe told me a couple of months ago the route is not yet finalized. If anyone is interested I will post the info here.
