Highlights of the trip:

  • Enjoying the sun in winter

Driving there yourself

You can drive independently to Girona. You can determine your own route and of course how long it will take you. as long as you are present on day 1 of the itinerary at the starting hotel.

Or motorcycle on transport and fly there

You can also choose to fly from Amsterdam to Girona and back and have the motorcycle transported by us, additional costs for the transport are 575,- pp. You have to deliver your motorcycle 10 days in advance. For the return trip you have to count about a week.

The flight price is variable, you can book it yourself or let us take care of it.

Motors

During the Europe tours you will ride your own motorcycle. Basically any motorcycle is suitable for this trip. In addition to a major service beforehand, it is important that you leave with -nearly- new tires. We also recommend to bring a tire repair kit.

Heaviness of the journey

This trip is not too hard but especially the mountain stages are quite intense. Some mountain experience is a plus. This is mainly due to some tough mountain stages on sometimes narrow roads and occasionally poor road surface. Otherwise we only drive on asphalt roads of reasonable to good quality. However, you must regularly take into account slow traffic, loose sheep herds and crossing (domestic) animals. Particularly in the summer months, extreme heat can put a strain on your physical condition. We avoid busy thoroughfares and tour as much as possible on quiet local roads. Large cities like Granada and Valencia hardly cause any problems. The round trip is over 4000 km from Narbonne, excluding the round trip. Stage distances vary from 230 to 310 km, with plenty of rest days.

Overnight

During this trip we use a diversity of accommodation options, ranging from wooden chalets, small hotels, to a single large-scale tourist hotel. Accommodation everywhere is on the basis of a double room with private bathroom. A single room is on request. At most locations, motorcycles can be stored on private, locked or unlocked premises. At other locations, parking is along the sidewalk in front of the hotel.

Climate

Spain has different climate zones, broadly divided into northwest (maritime), central (continental), and southeast (Mediterranean). Especially inland and in the southeast, summers are very hot and dry with high chances of temperatures above 40 degrees. The same is true of the region of Portugal where we reside. In spring and autumn the temperature is most pleasant. Precipitation is mainly limited to spring and autumn and then mainly to the northern regions (Pyrenees). However, in summer, sudden violent thunderstorms can cause a wet surprise.

Clothing

Required are a helmet, motorcycle jacket with protection, gloves, good sturdy motorcycle pants with protection and sturdy high (mountain) shoes. In addition to well-ventilated motorcycle clothing for high temperatures, waterproof motorcycle clothing or rain gear is recommended, as well as a warm sweater for the higher mountain areas in the Pyrenees.
