Central Spain
7 - 13 days
March - November
This tour goes through the most monumental cities of central Spain through some excellent secondary roads for riding a motorcycle.
The main characteristic of this tour is its monumental aspect, since it spends the night in cities with a great cultural heritage, such as Salamanca, Toledo, Cuenca and Segovia. In these cities you can visit a large number and variety of monuments, both civil and religious. In fact, in some cities like Toledo, a single afternoon may not be enough, so within our extensions you will find the possibility of adding an extra night, which will allow you to visit the city more calmly.
But we have not forgotten that we are talking about a motorcycle trip, so we have linked these cities through excellent secondary roads, well loaded with curves, (5,889 curves in the basic version of the route), in very good condition of pavement and with very little traffic, since most of this is channelled through the highways, which is Spain, they are free, and that you will not use.
With regard to landscapes, the central zone of Spain is marked by the central mountain range, which separates two great plains; the Castilian plateau to the north and the Mancha to the south. The trip has been planned trying to avoid the flat areas, and therefore it is a trip predominantly on mountain roads, with beautiful forest and mountain landscapes. But the Spanish central system is not too high, so we are not talking about high mountain roads that make the trip difficult. It is for this reason that this tour is ideal for novice pilots or for a quiet trip, although it can also be a lot of fun for more level pilots.
Regarding accommodation, in this area of Spain, full of cultural heritage, you could not miss the historic buildings converted into luxury hotels, and thus, on this tour EVERY night you can stay in historic buildings, such as castles, palaces, fortresses, monasteries or convents.
In the gastronomic aspect, the central area of Spain is famous for its excellent roasts, but you can also find other specialties that will undoubtedly be to your liking.
