Highlights of the Tour |
We believe that this tour really has something for everyone but my personal highlights are the roads through and around the town of Ronda. The town itself holds a number of delights in its aspect, history and gastronomy but the roads around it are terrific. They are quick, undulating and twisty. This is the area that the Spanish motorcyclists love, we will meet many other bikes in this region.
For those who prefer to watch the scenery the ride through the limestone areas of Northern Portugal are terrific. Nowhere else in Europe has this type of scenery.
For those who want to do something off the bike, we visit Porto, a really interesting old city with loads to see and do with the added attraction of the Port caves. They are interesting and good fun with free tasters at the end of the visit around the caves and they often give out the ‘good stuff ‘ in an attempt to get you to buy some!
The time we spend in the Pyrenees gives you the time to visit some fabulous cave systems and gorges. One of the caves has a tour that includes an underground train ride, a boat ride and the most amazing stalagmite and stalagtite formations in Europe. Well worth a visit on a free day. |

Why Tour Spain & Portugal with us? |
We have passion
our tour guides have been riding motorcycles and travelling Europe for a combined time of over 50 years. You can trust us to have properly prepared the trip, fully researched the published route and have a thorough understanding of travelling and running tours throughout Europe.
The ‘Mainly Spain’ tour has been fully researched and ridden to provide you with a tour that we believe to be unique in coverage, providing you with a great flavour of Spain, Portugal and the Pyrenees. There is something for everyone, twisty flowing open roads and some really technical roads, all with an ever changing background of some of the finest scenery in Europe.
We have looked out areas less busy with tourists, they are a little harder to get to but this pays dividends when you get there. Plus some great locations for free days with quality Hotels and Posadas along the way gives you a first class tour that will have you wanting to come back to sample our other tours. |

Everything you need for a solo or group adventure ride across Europe.
Adventure Bike Tours provide as much help & advice as you need. |
Although it is a group trip with a riding tour leader, we would expect the group to naturally break up into smaller teams of similar levels of skill so there is never the feeling of having to ride faster than you are comfortable with. The trip takes time to allow you to ride these great passes both ways should you wish. A comprehensive road book is provided but it is your adventure, ride it your way in the knowledge that your comfortable hotel is waiting for you at the end of the day and you can ride at your speed and pace shortening or extending the route if you wish.
