Sierra Morena, (Mad)
4-6 Days
March - November
This Tour runs through one of the best areas of Spain, but which is very unknown even to the majority of Spaniards. It is about Sierra Morena, which is the mountain range that separates the central plateau from the Guadalquivir depression.
Sierra Morena is divided into several sub-mountain ranges that are from east to west; Sierra de Aracena, Sierra norte de Sevilla, Sierra de Hornachuelos, Sierra de Cardeña, Sierra de Andujar and Sierra de despeñaperros. The basic version includes the last four and the first two can be included in the extensions, which is highly recommended.
The tour takes place almost entirely on secondary roads, full of curves, and with very little traffic, so it is perfect to enjoy the motorcycle. Even to cross La Mancha, (leaving from Madrid), we have looked for secondary roads that reduce the use of highways or boring roads to the minimum possible.
In the landscape aspect, Sierra Morena is a beautiful area. It is not a range of high mountains, so the landscapes are mostly wooded, and in the flatter areas you can enjoy the aroma of olive trees.
On the tourist side, this tour focuses on the City of Córdoba, which has excellent hotels and several monuments, among which its famous mosque stands out, which is currently a Christian cathedral, but also allows, optionally, to include the cities of Mérida and Seville.
