The Spain specialist since many years
From the Mediterranean across the Pyrenees to the Atlantic and back
Tour itinerary:
Our motorbike tour through the Pyrenees starts in Lloret de Mar. After a hearty breakfast in a selected min. 3* hotel (or equivalent) we start at 9:00 am.
Arrival and departure are individual. (We are happy to assist you with this. If the flight arrival/departure times do not fit with our travel dates, we will be happy to book an extra night for you). Motorbike transport can be booked with us.
There are several options for arrival and departure:
Option 1: own arrival/departure to the base hotel in Lloret de Mar with/without motorbike transport.
Option 2: guided journey to the base hotel in Lloret de Mar (250 €) [departure in Germany 1 day before tour start with overnight stay in Lyon, return journey individually (petrol, toll, snacks not included)].
Option 3: Guided arrival/departure to the starting hotel in Lloret de Mar (500 €), [Departure in Germany 1 day before tour start with overnight stop in Lyon, return journey at the end of the tour with overnight stop in Lyon (petrol, toll, snacks not included)].
On a winding route and with a view of the mountain panorama of the Pyrenees, our hearts beat faster and we reach the beautiful Pyrenean town of Ripoll - time for a first chat over a cosy "café con leche" to sort out the order of the participants.
From there, our journey takes us into the central Pyrenees with volcanic landscapes, nature parks, with dense forests and on winding back roads along mountain rivers and over mountain passes deeper and deeper into the mountains. The wonderful and hardly used winding roads through Spain, France and Andorra make every motorcyclist's heart beat faster. Our first stage destination is the small town of Vielha. Here we have a nice hotel in the centre of the village and review the first day together.
From Vielha, we take breathtaking Pyrenean roads that take us all the way up to the ski resorts in Aragón. We drive through fantastic canyons (e.g. Cañon de Añisclo), mountain passes and small villages where time seems to have stood still. Above the lake of Yesa we have a great hotel in a former monastery with a view of the big lake and set up camp here for the next night. Even though this hotel can only boast **, it is worth at least four stars and impresses with breathtaking scenery and great service. A real insider tip!
After a hearty breakfast, the next stage takes us back through the beautiful landscapes of the Pyrenees with canyons, valleys, mountain passes and much more to the Atlantic Ocean. Here the fresh Atlantic breeze blows around our ears and we enjoy the harsh climate and the view from the cliffs. Passing the coast, we reach our hotel directly on the beach of Cueto in Santander.
We take another deep breath of Atlantic air and set off again. We make a stopover in the UNESCO-designated medieval village of POTES. From there, of course, we cross the famous "Picos de Europa" with their breathtaking peaks. Our next destination is the valley of the "vultures" - Valle de Sedana. More than 300 vulture families live here. Our hotel is located in a small medieval village and is framed by impressive rock formations.
This day also brings wonderful stretches and a lot of variety and we reach a small hotel made of old natural stones and a lovely ambience, where one or the other can also relax their muscles in the Jacuzzi. It is a pity that a beautiful day has to end.
We drive through further nature reserves and of course make a small detour to the "Laguna negra", a sensation located at approx. 1,800 metres !!!! From there we pass beautiful lakes and small medieval villages to our next overnight stop - Huesca.
Unfortunately, our tour is slowly coming to an end, but there are still some great and winding routes in the programme for the remaining days and we will drive via La Seu d'Urgell to Andorra. Here we can stock up on tax-free articles (perfumes etc.) and will also spend the night here.
The last day of course takes us through the high Pyrenees one last time and we drive back to the starting point via the foothills. Time and weather permitting, we drive to the "Cap de Creus", the easternmost point of the mainland and a breathtaking view from the lighthouse over the glittering Mediterranean Sea. We wave to the "Costa Brava" once more as we drive past. Back in the lively town of Lloret de Mar, we get off our motorbikes and enjoy the wonderful climate and delicious inn with typical "TAPAS" of the highest class. The next day we have to leave individually and say goodbye to you once again:
Hasta la próxima (until next time)
In 8 days we explore the wild Pyrenees, the border mountains between Spain and France.
From Lloret de Mar, after the rocky Mediterranean coast, we take back roads with thousands of bends, always through the Pyrenees to Santander on the Atlantic. After the green forests of the Basque Country, it's back across the desert-like landscapes of northern Spain. A real adventure in the middle of Europe and unforgettable motorbike routes and moments!
Of course, we don't need to mention that all these destinations represent only a small excerpt from the many possibilities and that only dreamlike, hardly used and small side roads lead to all destinations. We are asked again and again how we know these routes. We'd like to tell you...... but we'd rather do that another time.
We explore the wild Pyrenees, the border mountains between Spain and France. In Lloret de Mar, we have booked one of the best hotels for you and, after the rocky Mediterranean coast, we will drive along side roads with thousands of bends through the Pyrenees up into the high mountains. We will experience the varied landscapes of the Spanish border region, which are still really natural here and hardly travelled on. Those who only know the Alps will find their final happiness here and won't be able to get out of their amazement. A real adventure in the middle of Europe and unforgettable motorbike routes and moments!
The hotels are pre-booked. If the number of participants exceeds the contingent, other hotels with similar facilities may also be booked. There is no entitlement to a specific hotel listed.

Our motorbike tour starts in Málaga and ends in Lloret de Mar on this tour. The transfer from the airport to the hotel is organised by us. The arrival and departure is individual.

The "ruta via de la plata" translates as "silver route" or "silver route". It is a former trade route that runs from southern to northern Spain and connects the four independent regions of Andalusia, Extremadura, Castile & León and Asturias.
On this route, which we have worked out very well, you will experience the cultural, historical, architectural, geographical and culinary diversity of these regions.
Originally, the "ruta via de la plata" was laid out by the ancient Romans in the 1st century BC and developed over time into one of the most important trade routes of the Iberian Peninsula. Precious metals and many other trade goods were transported here. Later, it was also used to transport loot from the Latin American colonies.
In the Middle Ages, the Moors used this axis to conquer the area from the south up to the north. The name also dates back to this time, because although the word "plata" means "silver" in Spanish, it has its origin in the Arabic "balath", which also means "paved way", among other things.
We start our "ruta via de la plata" in Málaga. We spend the night near the beach and get to know each other. The motorbike handover also takes place here. We discuss the tour in detail over an excellent typical southern Spanish dinner.
The first day takes us through various nature parks, including the SERRA NEVADA to Seville. This city is so typical and unique that we spend an extra day here to visit some of the endless highlights of this dream city. If you don't know Seville, you don't know Andalusia !!!
Free time in Seville. In the evening dinner together.
Today we wind our way west through the city traffic of this town to the reservoir "Embalse de Agrio". From here, the fun of the bends begins, via El Castillo de las Guardas, past the Aracena reservoir, into the Extremadura region. At Fuente de Cantos we rejoin the original main route. After some time, we leave it again to take small side roads via Palomas, the Abelange reservoir to Merida and finally reach our next night's accommodation in Cáceres.
Today, after a few kilometres, we leave the main route again, over a wonderful winding road past the Castillo de Alconétar (the castle stands in the middle of the reservoir), over the fantastic mountain road up to the pass Puerto de Honduras at an altitude of 1,440 m, over Plasencia, Hervás through hilly areas into the next region Castile & León. Our driving pleasure ends after many impressions in Benavente. We stay in a former castle, the Parador de Benavente.
Today is very demanding and takes us a little further along the "ruta via de la plata". Near the Atlantic coast, we set up our night's lodging in the former monastery Parador de Cangas de Ónis at the foot of the mountains.
After a hearty breakfast we drive up to the famous mountain range "Picos de Europa" with its peaks up to 2,700 m high. What a panorama ! After so many fantastic routes that make every motorcyclist's heart beat to absolute heights, we return to our accommodation for today. This former farmhouse, the Hotel Rural la Puebla with the charm of the past is surrounded by other small medieval houses in a valley where up to 350 families of griffon vultures live and breed. Over a shared "boot beer" (or a glass of wine), we marvel at the flying skills of these unique birds, which have a wingspan of up to 3 metres.
Today we drive along the foothills of the Pyrenees on well-maintained roads to the next highlight. After several winding roads, we reach the former monastery Parador de Sos del Rey Católico. This parador is nestled above a medieval village with a fantastic panoramic view.
Now we take the N260 up into the Pyrenees and head east. But first we make a stopover and the next Parador is waiting for us. Here at the Parador de La Seu d`Urgell, a small town awaits us. If you want, you can make a short detour to Andorra and stock up on duty-free goods (cigarettes, perfume, etc.). Together we will then meet for dinner.
Today our tour ends in Lloret de Mar. Here we have booked the Hotel Augusta Club & Spa for you. If you want, you can book a massage or take a dip either in the sea or in the hotel's pool. In the evening, we will meet for dinner and discuss the tour once again in fast-forward. We will be happy to take your suggestions into account in our next plans, but we are also grateful for any praise.
With all these unforgettable impressions, we bid you farewell and hope to see you again on one of our next tours.
On this route, which we have worked out in detail, you will experience the cultural, historical, architectural, geographical and culinary diversity of these regions.

Tour itinerary:
Our motorbike tour through Andalusia starts in Málaga after a hearty breakfast at the hotel. The transfer from the airport to the hotel is organised by us and the handover of the motorbikes takes place in the late afternoon. The journey to and from Málaga is individual. (We are happy to assist you with this. If the flight arrival/departure times do not fit with our travel dates, we will be happy to book an extra night for you). Motorbike transport can be booked with us.
We start our tour on a winding road with wonderful curves and let ourselves be spoilt by the landscape, the curves and the wonderful climate and get a foretaste of the next days.
The first section takes us to the posh town of "Marbella", where the beautiful and rich live. Sean Connery, for example, has settled here and it can't be all that bad where he lives.
From Marbella we drive along the glittering Mediterranean to San Pedro de Alcantara. Here we set the indicator and now drive between the national parks "Sierra de las Nieves" and "Sierra de Grazalema". Of course we make a stop in the most famous "white village" "Ronda" and have a breathtaking view from the famous "El Tajo" bridge down into the "El Tajo" gorge. Then we pass such beautiful villages as Juzcar, Setenil de las Bodegas, along the Rio Guadalete to Zahara de la Sierra and because we are now in curve fever, we drive into the Sierra de Grazalema and pass the pass "Puerto de las Palomas" at 1.357 m altitude. In "Grazalema" we reach our hotel. Every day can go on like this !!!
Today begins as the first day ended. Beautiful small, winding roads lead us through the nature reserve. We pass beautiful villages again, like "Ubrique" and "Castellar de la Frontera". While we are here, we have to take a close look at "Gibraltar" and make a detour to the "United Kingdom of Great Britain".
We drive back via small detours and let the wonderful day come to an end with a cool glass.
After a hearty breakfast, the next stage takes us again criss-crossing the magnificent landscapes of the "Alcornocales" nature park to the southernmost point of the Spanish mainland. "Tarifa" is the Mecca of windsurfers and on a clear day we can see Morocco and, with a little luck, whales and dolphins that pass the Strait of Gibraltar every day.
We continue towards "Jerez de la Frontera". A visit to the world famous bodega "Tio Pepe" is intended and very impressive.
Perhaps a bottle or two of sherry will fit in our luggage and we can look back on the tour with a glass at home.
The next hotel and a cosy bed are already waiting for us.
Today we want to take it easy and cruise to one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. Here, "Seville" awaits us with dreamlike palaces and squares and we are glad that we can reach our hotel there so early in the day and "breathe in" the city of flamenco. What a dream !
This day also brings wonderful routes and a lot of variety and we cross the "Extremadura". This is where the famous and most delicious ham, the Serrano ham, comes from. After another indescribable day with motorbike routes that could not be invented better, we reach "Cordoba". We immerse ourselves in the historical city and want to look around a bit and of course marvel at the "Mezquita Catedral". Our hotel is located in a former monastery and we let ourselves be transported back to the Middle Ages.
We drive through the nature reserve "Parque Natural de las Sierras Subbéticas" and make our way on winding back roads to "Granada". The name alone has a special ring to it and we immediately think of the famous "Alhambra" and the many royal palaces. Here, everyone can take a few strolls through the old town according to their own interests. For dinner we were to meet in a former monastery, how could it be otherwise with this backdrop.
Unfortunately, our tour is slowly coming to an end, but there are still some great and winding routes in the programme for the remaining days and we can still look forward to some highlights.
The day begins with a ride to the heights of the famous "Sierra Nevada" - what a name! All Western fans will be pleased, because we visit the famous gallows and filming location "Fort Bravo", where the little boy (Charles Bronson) had to play the harmonica for the first time. Of course, we are talking about the classic "Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod" (once upon a time). Hoping that no one has been shot and everyone is firmly back in the "saddle", we set course for "Almeria". Here, directly on the Mediterranean, we drive a few kilometres parallel to the water to our next hotel. Our hotel is directly on the beach and we can take a refreshing bath, thinking of our loved ones at home - but please no gloating !
Of course, the last day takes us one last time along the Mediterranean Sea towards "Málaga" (start/finish point). Shortly before that, however, we want to make a very short but intense detour into the interior of the country and take in the last curves of this wonderful spot on earth. This way we can spend the winter evenings at home in peace.
Tired but overjoyed, everyone should fall into bed and sleep happily.
The next day is our individual departure and we have to say goodbye to you and once again :
Hasta la próxima (until next time)
In 10 days (depending on the chosen tour) we explore the southern and western regions of Spain. From Málaga, we ride through several nature reserves on back roads with thousands of bends, always along the Mediterranean Sea, through mountains, historic villages and endless expanses. Many impressive motorbike routes and cultural highlights make this tour an unforgettable moment. A real adventure far away from wet, snow and cold in Europe and dreamlike motorbike routes and moments !
Here it is possible to ask for a tailor-made tour according to your ideas for a company of at least four participants.
All you have to do is send us an email and we will be happy to provide you with a remarkably personalised offer.
