Starting from Plymouth on the south coast of the UK, a convenient ferry crossing has us soon enter the jagged, deeply fissured Picos De Europa - beloved by the biking community for its sweeping roads and untouched charm. You’ll cross dramatic mountain passes, coast along serene lakes, and carve through deep gorges, setting the tone for your journey ahead. From the heights of the Picos, we descend into the heart of Spain, following the historic Camino de Santiago to the vibrant cathedral city of Salamanca.

A day-off in the UNESCO-listed Salamanca, where you can either explore the city’s rich history, including its two cathedrals and the famous Plaza Mayor, or take a rideout through stunning landscapes, featuring a visit to a hidden motorcycle museum and the scenic Sierra de Candelario.

Explore the Alhambra Palace

Well rested, we continue our journey south, enjoying a twisting route through the Monfrague and Navalonguilla national parks, visiting mediaeval hilltop towns along the way. Following an overnight stay, we ride through the Sierra Norte de Sevilla and Sierras Subbéticas, before making our way to the hilltop fortress of Granada.

Perched beneath the Sierra Nevada, Granada gives us another chance for a day of exploration off the bikes, from the world-renowned Moorish Alhambra to its cathedral, with the surrounding historic streets perfect for sampling tapas. For those craving more, a ride through the Sierra Nevada’s twisting roads is planned to keep us and our bikes happy!

Why not try a Segway tour in Granada?

Why not try a Segway tour in Granada?

Quiet smooth Spanish twisties aplenty

Leaving gorgeous Granada, we head east towards Cuenca in Castile-La Mancha, set at the junction of the deep gorges of the Júcar and Huécar rivers. This beautiful area is dotted with plains, vineyards, windmills, castles, and mountains. From here, we head north over Madrid to visit Franco’s tomb in the Valle de los Caídos before ending our day in style, overlooking the heart of Segovia’s old town.

Leaving Segovia, we travel through the iconic rolling countryside of central Spain, making our way back to the Picos de Europa for an exhilarating ride through the mountains. With one last taste of these thrilling landscapes, we return to where our adventure began with the memories of a great tour.

The grandest of all the grand tours! Book your sunny holiday now.

Tour highlights

The Picos de Europa: A dramatic, beautiful combination of geological magnificence and lush green vegetation with roads to die for.

The Celtic cathedral city of Salamanca: A city of sandstone with every street containing beautifully carved churches, palaces and plazas.

Granada: Spain’s Andalusia region is beautiful and the city of Granada is no exception being home to the Alhambra palace and surrounded by the Sierra Nevada.
'From mountains, lakes and scenery to cultural cities like Salamanca and Granada, this tour was one of the things I had wanted to do for a very long time and I was certainly not disappointed!'
Jeremy F

Valle de los Caidos: The catholic basilica was commissioned by Franco to house the bodies of those who fell during the Spanish civil war, he was also buried here after his death in 1975.

The Lake of Riáno: This beautiful lake is over 22 square kilometres and at the bottom of it is the old town of Riano itself.

Cuenca: A world heritage site with narrow winding streets filled with brightly painted medieval buildings is described by lonely planet as one of the most memorable cities in Spain and we tend to agree

The Sierra Nevada: The highest point in Spain standing at 3,500ft the Sierra Nevada mountains in Andalucia are littered with tiny villages and spectacular views.

Common questions about this trip

What’s the weather like on this tour?

We pick the date of this trip to get the best mix of riding conditions on the different elevations we cover. As you go over the top of the Picos it can be a little chilly but the rest of the trip should be sunny and warm, a sensible mix of vented kit and waterproofs with some base layers should cover all eventualities.

Is what I hear about the Spanish not eating until 10pm correct?

The Spanish do indeed eat late, in fact it’s not unusual for people to go out for dinner at 11pm or later. We’ve tailored the trip to take in English sensibilities and rumbling bellys after a long day’s ride though and normally eat between 8 – 8.30pm

Can I get a different crossing on this trip?

Of course, if you would like to make your own arrangements to get over to Spain and meet the group at the hotel on the first night near Santander just let us know in the comments section of your booking form and we will deduct the cost of the included crossing from your booking.
