Southeast of Spain
From 7 to 13 days
March - November
This tour, which can be done practically all year round, runs along the southern Mediterranean coast combining fabulous roads with beautiful beaches.
The route is through curvy secondary roads, with beautiful landscapes and very little traffic. This last aspect is the most important in the two tours that run through southern Spain and is due to the fact that Spain is a very touristy country, the second in the world, only behind the United States, and most of the tourism is It is concentrated in the south of Spain and the Mediterranean coast, so in the south we have an excellent network of Highways, most of them free, which channel all land traffic, leaving the secondary roads practically without traffic, since this is limited only to local trips, or to those who want, like us, to enjoy them.
If to this little traffic we add a huge number of curves (8,426 in the basic route), and some roads in excellent condition, we have all the ingredients to make it a perfect trip to enjoy the motorcycle. In fact, this tour has the most twisted stage of all the Spanish tours with 1,577 curves in a single day, an authentic explosion of curves that will delight the most demanding pilots.
In the landscape aspect, this tour is also very complete, with a wide variety of landscapes that include areas of medium and high mountains, several natural parks with forests of different types of trees, and coastal areas. And to highlight the beach aspect of this tour, we also offer you the possibility of adding extra days in Cabo de Gata, where you can bathe from April to October, Alicante and Valencia.
In the monumental aspect this tour includes the most important monument in Spain, the Alhambra in Granada, and some very interesting cities such as Valencia, and optionally Cuenca.
With regard to accommodation, as always, we have paid special attention to being able to offer you exceptional hotels, either because of their high quality or because they are historic buildings, and in this sense the Parador de Granada stands out, a Nasrid palace in the Alhambra itself.
For all this, this tour is perfect to spend an unforgettable vacation.

Hotel Accommodation
We can also, if you wish, take care of your accommodation according to your budget. Thanks to our experience we can provide you with excellent accommodations during your route. These are some of the places where you can rest on this tour:
Manzanares
The Parador de Manzanares, built in 1928, was the first Hostel for motorists in Spain, which later became part of the network of Paradores de Turismo. Since then, several reforms have been made to adjust it to the 4* category and to give a typical La Mancha house style.
Cazorla
The Parador de Cazorla is another example of a parador located in the middle of a natural park where no one would be allowed to build a hotel. But since the network of paradores is owned by the state, this exception will allow you to enjoy a beautiful site.
Granada
In 1495, three years after the taking of Granada that ended the reconquest, the Catholic Monarchs ordered to build a convent from one of the Nasrid palaces, where they were even buried until the completion of the Cathedral, where they are now. This convent had several extensions, especially in the 18th century and from 1945 it became one of the three best Paradores in Spain, along with those of Santiago and León.
Nerja
The Nerja hotel is located on a cliff next to the sea with beautiful views, but it also has a panoramic elevator that gives you direct access to the beach.
Cabo de Gata
In Cabo de Gata we have several hotels, all of them 4 *, which we recommend depending on the client's preferences between Golf and Beach.
Alicante
A modern 5 * hotel located in the marina with direct access to the beach.
Valencia
19th century mansion with an excellent location within the city.
Cuenca
A 16th century convent that enjoys spectacular views as it is located at the top of the city, next to the hanging houses.
