Gredos Mountains
3 días
March - November
The Sierra de Gredos is one of the best areas in Spain to ride a motorcycle since it meets the three conditions that make a perfect motorcycle trip, good roads, full of curves and with good asphalt, beautiful landscapes and little traffic, so this tour is one of the favourites of our clients.
The tour covers three mountainous areas, the Sierra de Gredos itself, which surrounds it in its entirety, making the only foray that is possible, as it is a protected area, the Sierra de Francia, a very unknown area, even for most of the Spaniards, but which is fantastic and the Sierra de Guadarrama, which crosses its two most important passes, the Alto del León, also called Puerto de Guadarrama, and the Puerto de Navacerrada, so we can consider this tour as a Mountain tour.
And as such, you can already imagine what kind of roads you are going to find, mountain roads full of curves, (with 2,959 curves in just three days), mountain landscapes full of viewpoints where you can take photos, and many forests of different species; Pines, beeches, ash trees, oaks, holm oaks, etc., since they are not high mountains, and therefore are heavily forested. For this reason we have given the tour the symbols of fun roads and spectacular landscapes.
Regarding accommodation, this tour combines a 16th century castle palace with a national parador in the middle of the Gredos national park, making it a very conducive trip for a romantic getaway and that is why we have given it the symbol of romantic travel, since in addition to this, the alternatives allow adjusting the duration of the stages.
