He has always dedicated his efforts to paying attention to every detail of the journey so that those who accompanied him could fully enjoy the experience without worrying about anything other than riding. With this approach to trip organization, he naturally took over the “Route Planning Department” at Toro Biker, something that, for him, is more than a job - it’s a passion.

Summing up 45 years of motorcycling experience is no easy task, but here’s a brief profile: Florencio spent 14 years as a journalist in the world of motors, testing the latest motorcycles from all brands, directing and instructing driving courses, and instructing driving for the Civil Guard and other law enforcement agencies.

Food

The delights of Moroccan and Berber cuisine

Moroccan cuisine is a vibrant fusion of flavors shaped by Arab, Berber, Mediterranean, and Andalusian influences. Known for its bold spices like saffron, cumin, and cinnamon, it balances sweet and savory flavors masterfully.

Signature dishes such as tagine, a slow-cooked stew of meat and vegetables, and couscous, paired with lamb or chicken, showcase this culinary artistry. Preserved lemons, olives, and dried fruits add depth, while desserts like chebakia and pastilla highlight the cuisine’s indulgent side.

Berber cuisine, a pillar of Moroccan gastronomy, is rooted in simplicity and authenticity, reflecting the Berber people's deep connection to their land. Staples include rfissa, a hearty chicken and lentil dish served with msemen bread, and Berber tagine, cooked over wood fires for a rustic flavor.

Bread varieties like tanfourt and tafernout are integral to meals, baked traditionally in clay ovens. With an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients and earthy spices, Berber dishes deliver wholesome, flavorful meals that celebrate their cultural heritage.
