Granada we are comming

 So that's our first day of riding. A good mix of winding mountain roads and more relaxed passages, our first stop of the day offers us a great view of Malaga. Of course, a relaxing coffee in a mountain village can not be missed. then we went back to the coast where we could enjoy our lunch with sea view.
In the afternoon we were especially thrilled by the mountain road of the "Sierra de Tejeda".

What a great start of our tour

The Charm of Granada

Tonight, we are staying in Granada and if you are here – you should discover this nice little city before you go to dinner. So here some small impressions of the history where everything started with Christopher Columbus and the Kingdom of Spain in 1492

Welcome back at our Blog and welcome to a day of wonderful riding and Alhambra Sightseeing. 

Welcome back at our Blog and welcome to a day of wonderful riding and Alhambra Sightseeing. 

If you are once in Granada, then you got to go to the worldwide known paradise of Alhambra. It is the historical footprint of a time where the Arabic people have been in charge of Spain. The name himself stays for “red castle or vermillion”. Even if you are not interested in history!!! This place is just different. We spend 2,5 h in the fortress and Gardens what they had begun to build in 1238.
I put it this way – It was impressive !!!!
After stepping back in time it was time to move on and we dived into the land of olive trees. Doesn’t matter which way you look / which valley you ride through, there are everywhere olive trees. As a bonus we cached up with Thomas at lunch – and he have been our chef and made a wonderfool Picknick for us. The rest of the ride was just a pleasure with heaps of curves. Well, and now we are in Antequera in a very nice hotel what is a highlight as well – if you like to know why – you got to come on this tour.

And now we get to go for dinner, so see you tomorrow

In the heart of Andalusia - olive trees, white

villages and dreamlike roads - welcome to

day 4

After a hearty breakfast, we start the day a little later today. Our first stop of the day is a viewpoint in the middle of the El Torcal National Park. Fascinating limestone formations accompany us on our way up to the viewpoint. After we had strengthened ourselves later with a coffee, we continued to another viewpoint and of course into the Garganta del Chorro. One of the natural attractions in Andalusia. The rest of the day is all about the White Villages. Thypical for Andalusia and worth a closer look. For lunch we stop in Setenil, where the houses were built in an impressive way in the rocks. After a few detours into more of these sleepy little towns, we stop again in Zahara. Probably the most beautiful white village. We enjoy a last coffee before we leave for Arcos de la Frontera. Our destination today.

That has been day 4 and tomorrow? For that you got to come back

an typical spanish mountain village 2 lane road

Through the land of Bulls to the Rock of

Gibraltar and back up into the Mountains of

Ronda

Good Morning Good Morning Everybody!!!!

Let´s do it – Today we tried to get a close look at the famous Bulls of Spain. If you think about Spain – almost 90 % thinking on Bull fights and the Bull run through the towns.
The roads to the Bulls are small and narrow and if you not from here, you would not find the roads where we are riding. The theme of the first bit of the day is for sure: The Countryside of Andalusia. After passing the Bull farms we went of to the border crossing – because we had lunch in England – Yes, England!!!! We are in Gibraltar and that belongs to the British empire. And when we are here – we got to see the Berber Apes of the Rock. For that we switch our Bikes to a small Van and of we go to the Top of the Rock.

The history of this place is based on the legend or better a saying. On one side, it says if the apes are gone – Gibraltar will be back in the hand of Spain and the other is Solid as a Rock – because after the British empire have been taking over this place it had never been taken over again from any empire. The defense of the Rock is outstanding and even in the WW2 nobody tried to attack this place. In those days if you like to visit Gibraltar you got to ride over the airfield of the airport to get in. This place is different. And as you can see it was an unforgettable ride up there.

After we get back to Spain it was time to ride to Ronda – the place where we will stay for the next 2 days and one of the famous motorcycle roads of Andalusia. This was such a fun run up there and you saw it in the smile of every face that this roads has been like the cherry of an ice cream – breathtaking – fantastic – unbelievable.

That has been our day 5 which we will not forget!!!!

Motorcycle heaven around Ronda,

magnificent views, breathtaking roads

Today is a rest day, which of course does not mean that we do not take the opportunity to ride a motorcycle. Not only Ronda itself is worth a closer look, but also the mountains around it. The locals themselves come to this area to ride motorcycles. So it can't be that bad .  Our day starts a bit later than usual. Already shortly after Ronda the first curves are waiting for us. The landscape changes constantly and the roads are varied. From small mountain roads with tight curves over a narrow bumpy road which leads us through dense cork oak forests, to well-developed country roads with loooong curves, everything is there. At noon Axel surprises us in the national park of Puerto de las Palomas with a picnic. The last km to the hotel are characterized by a spectacular view and a road that will remain long in our memory. Our trip ends early enouth to have enouth time to enyoy Ronda.

cork aok trees before lunch....sorry for the Road guys

Welcome to the last day of riding

and

the Ronda Rollercoaster

What a riding day!!!!!! Welcome to the final chapter of this tour. Today we have been riding from Ronda down to the coastline and back up to Ronda and then guess what down to Málaga. This Day was just fantastic – better is not possible. The road are incredible and the Groupe had such fun on this roads. I put this way we disserved it, and we enjoyed it and we would like to do it again and again and again!!!!

Today has been the road the highlight of the day and the landscape was all along the way breathtaking. If you have not been on the roads around Ronda you will definitely have to put it on your bucked list.

The other Side is that this day is our last riding day of this Tour and there will be always mixed feelings. On one hand you like that it never stops and on the other hand everybody is looking forward to flying back home to their families. But hey the End of a Tour is just before the next one starts, and, in this case, we are quite sure that we will see our riders again on another Tour.

Now we are back at the place where everything has started just 7 days ago – so the last thing what we will have today is the goodbye dinner. And even if we will split up tomorrow, we are looking forward to here from our costumers – what has been there favorite moment!?

Thomas and Axel got to pack up as well and if you like to here more about our tours – well, we are soon again on the road and soon together in Island.

So see you on another Blog
