Number of riders : maximum of 6 plus 2 tour riders
Tour Overview : Superb winding mountain roads with fantastic views and scenery.
NEW: A one day offroad experience around the mountains of Alora with lunch. This is a great day out with the offroad experts Rideheaven and all clothing and bikes are included. N.B. A couple of bikes are now available that have had the seats lowered, as many offroad bikes stand fairly tall. This means we can now accommodate smaller riders.
COMING SOON: For those of you who wish to play around with 4 wheels we will soon be introducing a great day out on Dune Buggies. This is in conjunction with our friends at Rideheaven and will be a real fun day out. Coming in September/October and will be an optional extra to the tours. If you are interested in a day out on Dune Buggies please mention this when enquiring. No motorbike licence is required for this day out.
Places we visit: Cordoba, Guadix, Granada, Ronda and the Costa Tropical
We operate tours here in Andalucia, Southern Spain where the weather is great, the roads spectacular, the views out of this world and where the people are the friendliest you can wish to meet. We offer a complete package to include accommodation, either in bed & breakfast, an apartment in the village or a luxury Villa with private pool depending on your individual budget. We will also provide a lock up garage for the bikes and then transport you to your accommodation.
The tour routes have been carefully planned to ensure that you will visit all the hot spots (i.e. the most attractive cities, towns and villages) in this part of Andalucia, Southern Spain, where the roads are clear, radar free and perfect for biking.
We are two dedicated bikers with many years experience between us. The tours we have planned offer a friendly laid back attitude to riding with the emphasis on enjoying the beautiful countryside whilst, at the same time, ensuring safety as our paramount priority. If you are looking for long, fast days with the emphasis on speed then we are not the ones for you!
We will take you to places like Granada, Ronda etc, via the most scenic routes, and we try to keep motorway travelling down to a minimum. There will never be more than 6 riders in a group, excluding ourselves. There will always be two of us on the tour, with one leading and one at the tail. We promise to keep costs to a minimum as our intention is to provide tours that we, as fellow bikers, can enjoy as well. Tours will be available in the months of May & June and then September & October. We tour in these months as they are, in our opinion, the most pleasant months of the year from a weather perspective and the most suitable for biking i.e. not too hot and certainly not too cold or rainy. There will be 3 tours per month.
The tours will last for five days, (click here to see itinerary) and for those who need, or want, a thrilling day out, we can organize a track day at a little known, but superb track, near Guadix, Granada. An Englishman owns the track, and last year two MCN testers took a couple of new bikes there for testing. They loved the area so much that they suggested to their boss that perhaps they should open an office at Guadix (tongue in cheek of course!) If you would like to use this facility please let us know at the time of booking as track days must be booked well in advance. Normal track day rules would apply i.e. helmets that are ACU approved and leathers etc. must be worn.
Bike hire is available and these are mainly Yamaha Diversions, we use XJ900's and XJ600's due to the fact that we find them comfortable, easy to ride, great for people who are not tall and great bikes for touring. We feel that these bikes are good for new bikers and experienced bikers alike. However we recommend that you use this opportunity to travel down on your own bike. The trip from Bilbao or Santander is about 450 miles and can be done easily in a day, and those of you that wish to take in some sights can stop off at Madrid, Salamanca, Toledo etc. We will be more than happy to book your hotels on the way and will choose accomodation that will cater for bikers. The ferry from Bilbao leaves from Portsmouth and is a 2 nighter, whilst the Santander ferry leaves from Plymouth and is quicker, just one night. Alternatively you can travel through France at your own leisure. We can assist you in booking the ferries and also provide you with route maps. These ferrries are like mini cruises with restaurants, bars, swimming pools, fitness centres etc on board so you can make the most of these facilitites as part of you holiday.
The first tour this year will take place on Monday, 8th May, so if you would like to book a place, or ask for more details please email us at or telephone us on (0034) 958312925 and we will look forward to hearing from you.
