Each morning, you set off on tour from your base around 9:30 am, completing a round trip of approximately 200 kilometers within Granada province with stop offs along the way for food and refreshments, returning again to your base each evening around 6:00 pm.

Notes
The above itinerary is for guidelines only and can change for various reasons, i.e. seasonal conditions, road works, riding ability, etc.
All rentals include third party liability insurance. For insurance purposes, all riders must be over 25 years of age and be in possession of a valid motorcycle license for at least two years.
On arrival, you are required to pay an Accidental Damage Deposit of 500 EUR (or equivalent if you prefer to pay in your local currency) in cash to cover damages to any of the motos or equipment. This will be returned in full at the end of your tour, provided no damage has been caused.
Most people have dropped their bikes at some stage of their riding career, they have found Enfields to be very forgiving in this respect. Minor damage can sometimes be fixed easily in-house but sometimes it cannot.
If any of the motos are dropped or crashed causing damage which cannot be repaired in this manner, you are liable for the cost of the repair. This will be deducted from your Accidental Damage Deposit. Thankfully this is a rarity!
