Andalusia, Portugal & Sierra Nevada by Motorbike

The Andalusia Portugal motorcycle tour begins in Elche near Alicante, where your motorcycle is waiting for you at our service point after transport. As a self-guided Spain motorcycle tour, you ride solo without a guide – nine GPX roadmaps lead you safely to every stage destination. The Sierra Nevada motorcycle tour ranks among the most twisty sections, before the route continues toward the Costa del Sol. You'll stay in eight carefully selected hotels with breakfast and mostly free bike parking, so you can focus entirely on the road.

Highlights

Sierra Nevada Stage

The Sierra Nevada motorcycle tour takes you along and partly through the mountains near Granada, past impressive high-altitude terrain and winding passes, before the route continues toward the coast and reveals fresh views of Andalusia.

Costa del Sol Route

On the Costa del Sol motorcycle tour you ride from Malaga to Marbella along the coast, before heading inland to Ronda. The terrace of your hotel there offers a sweeping view over the Andalusian landscape.

Ronda and Gibraltar

The Ronda Gibraltar motorcycle tour links the mountain town of Ronda with a detour to the Strait of Gibraltar, before the stage continues via Cadiz. Winding passes alternate with coastal roads and wide-open views.

From Seville to Cadiz

The Seville Cadiz motorcycle tour takes you through the Andalusian capital Seville, past historic quarters, all the way to the Atlantic coast at Cadiz. Long, straight transfer stages alternate with typical Andalusian towns.

Arrival in Lisbon

The final stage of the Badajoz Lisbon motorcycle tour brings you from the Portuguese border to the capital Lisbon, where your motorcycle is handed back at the service point and the trip ends with a taxi ride to the hotel.

The own-motorcycle transport service brings your bike (up to 250 kg, 2.40 m) including luggage to Alicante or Lisbon and back again, so you only need to travel to and from those points yourself.
