Iberian South

An excellent first stage that perfectly anticipates what this trip is going to be, fantastic roads full of curves and beautiful landscapes.

We enter Andalucía crossing the Sierra Morena on roads that are very unknown even to most Spaniards.

This route through the central area of the Sierra Morena is simply wonderful, including a fabulous road that I discovered by chance.

Arcos is very close to Seville, but we have diverted the route to create a route full of curves and beautiful landscapes.

This stage is an explosion of curves and beautiful landscapes, which will surprise you with its greenness, even if it is in the extreme south of Spain.

Today's stage returns to the interior of Andalusia, starting with some beautiful roads and ending up rolling among olive trees, with their characteristic smell.

Today's stage is one of our favorite stages among all the trips on this website. We are sure that you will think the same.

In today's stage we are going to cross the Sierra Nevada to reach Las Alpujarras, one of the most typical areas of Spain with its famous white villages.

Today we are going to return to the coast through a fantastic area that, curiously, is completely unknown even to most Spaniards.

This stage, with a record of curves, runs along one of the best roads in Spain, then returns to the Alpujarras and ends at the Cabo de Gata beach.

Today we start the day touring the Cabo de Gata natural park and then reaching Alicante along the Mediterranean coast.

In today's stage you will be surprised by the excellent roads that we are going to discover a few kilometers from the coast.

To return to Madrid we are going to divert the route to go through Cuenca and enjoy some magnificent roads, full of curves and with beautiful landscapes.

This last stage of the trip is so good that you will not notice the fatigue accumulated during these two weeks of travel and it will even seem short.

Seville was during the sixteenth century and much of the seventeenth the most prosperous city in the world, since it centred trade with the newly discovered America. This fact, together with the cultural heritage received over the centuries by the different cultures that dominated the city, makes Seville one of the most interesting cities in Europe, which makes a day of rest almost obligatory to visit it in depth.

Although we have already taken into account that you will want to visit the Alhambra, planning a relatively short stage to Nerja, a rest day in Granada is highly recommended, not only to be able to visit the Alhambra calmly, but also to visit the city in depth and thus be able to admire its fantastic Cathedral and also be able to enjoy the world capital of Tapas, since those of Granada are, by far, the best.

In Valencia you can visit the City of Arts and Sciences, which consists of several buildings designed by the architect Santiago Calatrava. But if you visit this fabulous group of buildings in depth, you will need a day of rest in this magnificent city that will also give you the opportunity to try the famous Valencian paella, which is a dish that is eaten for lunch, never for dinner.

The detour to Gibraltar is highly recommended for two reasons. The first is that it is a very unique place, since the historical anachronism that in the 21st century a European country maintains a colony in another makes Gibraltar have a very special atmosphere. But this extension also gives us the opportunity to explore the Sierra de Grazalema in greater depth, one of the best areas in Europe to ride a motorcycle.

Toledo, known as the city of the three cultures, since for centuries Jews, Christians and Muslims lived together in peace and tolerance, it is probably the most monumental city in Spain, because in addition to being the capital of Spain for several centuries, the three cultures left a great legacy. For this reason, diverting the trip to start visiting Toledo is a highly recommended extension, especially in the cultural aspect.

Marbella is the Spanish Monte Carlo, where a large part of luxury tourism is concentrated. This fact makes Marbella full of excellent shops and restaurants, and has several beaches and golf courses. But also, if you stay at the hotel that we recommend, you will really want to stay one more day.

Between the well-known towns of Faro and Albufeira, Vilamoura is one of the best beaches in the Algarve. If you like beach tourism, this extension may be a very good option. Although it does not have the luxury of Marbella, it does have an excellent beach and many places to go for dinner or a drink in the evening.

And if we have diverted the trip to Vilamoura, it will make perfect sense to add a day of rest to enjoy its beach. In fact, it could be said that these two extensions should go together, since it makes no sense to get to Vilamoura to have to leave the next day, without having enjoyed a day at the beach.
