“Andalucia, a motorcycle paradise”
7 Day Guided Motorcycle Tour in Granada, Andalucia
Federico Garcia Lorca Road, 42, 18670 Vélez de Benaudalla, Granada, Andalusia, Spain
Grand Motorcycle Tour Spain
Join GSmotorcycletours for a Motorcycle tour on the "best roads in Europe" in Andalucia and experience the amazing scenery, deserted roads, smooth tarmac, and more twists and bends than you have ever dreamed of. Andalucia is a superb motorcycle country, even in high summer, the temperature is ideal in the mountains, and the Mediterranean Sea or the Atlantic Ocean is close by.
The Sierra Nevada and Alpujarras, the mountains around Ronda, and the mountains above Sevilla offer wonderful mountain roads. You could go to the circuit of Jerez, see the cliff of Ronda, or wander through the desert of Cabo de Gata. You could spend weeks, months, 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 said, Spain has the largest number of motorcycles in Europe. This has helped make the roads extremely motorcycle friendly, with generally well-designed curves and asphalt that typically is maintained in excellent.
Warning: you will get hooked! What are you waiting for? Come and see for yourself! You will not be disappointed!
