7 Days Scenic Guided BMW Motorcycle Tour in Andalusia Spain

7 Days Scenic Guided BMW Motorcycle Tour in Andalusia Spain

Andalucia is a superb motorcycle country, even in high summer, the temperature is ideal in the mountains, and the Mediterranean Sea or 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 MotoGP circuit of Jerez, see the cliffs 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 and a relatively untapped and undiscovered area as far as motorcycling goes and the quality of Spanish roads is amongst the best in Europe. That said, Spain has the largest number of motorcycles in Europe which has helped make the roads extremely motorcycle friendly, with generally well designed curves and asphalt that typically is maintained in excellent condition.
