Overview
This tour focuses on riding some of the best roads in Spain and immersing ourselves in the beautiful scenery and culture of Andalucia. We travel through many natural parks such as the Sierra de Tejeda, Las Alpujarras and Sierra de Contraviesa to name just a few as well as stunning whitewashed villages taking in all that the area has to offer, confirming that Andalucia truly is a motorcycle paradise and a joy to ride. You could spend weeks, months, or years on a motorcycle and never be bored. Andalucia is a motorcycle rider's heaven. There are almost as many mountain ranges as towns, and they are all different. Also, the quality of Spanish roads is amongst the best in Europe. Spain's elevation is 650 meters above sea level, which is second only to Switzerland, Europe. Andalucia and the surrounding areas are a relatively untapped and undiscovered area as far as motorcycling goes. That sai

Rider Reviews
By far the most amazing roads I’ve ever been on. The roads in the mountains were very twisty and the tarmac for 95% of the time was excellent. The scenery was incredible, hard to put into words you need to experience for yourself. The weather was perfect, sunny and warm everyday. Food was also very good, never had anything I didn’t like. The roads in the mountains are not for beginners so be aware of your abilities, there were lots of hairpins, especially if you’re on the big GS1300. Graham was a great guide who is knowledgeable about the area and history as well. He also customized our daily rides if needed. Graham also went out of his way several times taking us out to dinner and showing us the town which was greatly appreciated. I’m struggling to find anything negative as this was absolutely an amazing trip, the only nit pick was that one of the accommodations didn’t have a tv or soap and shampoo……this didn’t bother me as I came to ride. If you like very twisty roads and beautiful scenery then you need to go here, it’s truly unbelievable. The best endorsement I can give is that I would 100% return…..nuff said.
great weather, smooth roads, lots of turns, quiet village
All I had to do was book a flight, the rest was sorted, result!
Graham very good guide. He listens what you want to experience and selecting the route according your need and skills. Drives very safely and takes care a lot. Andalusia is bikers paradise, Graham knows how to show the beauty. You just follow him and enjoy. I look forward for next tour with him.
The roads in the area are wonderful. The terrain is mountains and beautiful with very little traffic. Can’t imagine a better place to ride day after day. I rode for four solid days and feel like there was a lot still available to discover.
Great twisty and winding roads, under the sun, on well maintained and easy to ride motorcycles! What more can you ask? Good accommodation, pubs and tapas :) Go on, you know you want to :)
Mostly everything, the comradeship, hospitality, was perfect in every way. .
