Andalusia Tour ATS1601

Sunday, April 17, 2016 | Marko Bauer / Claudia Wenhart | Europe

And finally Sunday noon the "Truck" is ready for it's way to our homebase in Mieming, where the bikes were maintained for their next trip anywhere around the world

Thanks everybody for a great tour in Andalusia! And see you soon.

Our last riding day brought us back from Ronda to Malaga. The weather unfortenately was not so good, but at the coast we finally got sunshine. Another picnic was on the plan today, before getting the last curves down to Marbella and back to Malaga.

Watching the Spanish motorcyling racer on their home track .... Speed Limit ??? What is that?

Main square in Ronda
Puente Nuevo in Ronda

Restday in Ronda, but no time for a rest. The weather is perfect and we started on another beautiful route through the backcountry of Ronda. We all enjoyed our loop on small roads through cork oak trees without any traffic.

Lunchstop with great food in Puerto de Galis
Another stop in Grazalema, a typical small "White" town

We woke up to a wonderful blue sky -  perfect for the day that was ahead of us! Wonderful small backroads took us deep into Andalusia. And when the mountains finally retreated, we could see the Atlantic Ocean and the Costa de la Luz. We found a great restaurant for lunch, right on the beach. With full stomachs we continued to the southernmost tip of Europe: Tarifa.

After another fotostop near Gibraltar, we were ready for the main ingredient of every motorcycle tour in southern Spain: curves, curves, and then a few more curves! The road up to Ronda is definitely one of the most beautiful roads in the world!

After Dinner an amazing atmosphere direct in front of the Hotel.
Beautifull landscape around Arcos
Small and tight little "streets" trough Arcos de la Frontera

Today was our third riding day from Antequerra to Arcos de la Frontera. A lot of the "White towns of Andalusia" were located on our way. Our first stop-Torcal de Antequerra. A spectacular limestone rock formation.

Garganta del Chorro was the neckt stop on our route. It's famous for the dangerous bridge called Caminito deal Rey - King's little pathway

Morning coffee stop at a water reservoir

Lunchtime in Setenil de la Bodegas, where some houses were built into the rock walls of the gorge. We stayed in one of these houses in a Tapas bar.

Our group tasting different tapas

What a great and exciting day. In the morning we got a guided tour in the Alhambra - a must see in Andalucia.

Then heading on to Sierra Nevada - afterwards a nice but sadly to cold picnic stop - and with a little rain in the afternoon we all arrived safe in Antequera, our stop for tonight.

... Selfies are always fun

On our first riding day we started from Malaga into the "Montes de Malaga" where we had a beautifull view over Malaga. Perfect weather (looks like rain, but NO), not to cold and curvy roads brought us to our first coffee stop.

Andalusia, here we come! We, that is 11 riders from all around the world, are getting ready to explore the south of Spain on motorcycles! A little briefing, the bike handover - and then we are ready to go!

A good day to start a tour!

Hey... i think i would spot that Tuareg jacket with all the patches on from miles away. Is that mister Allan from Adriatic Rollercoaster I see?

Welcome back on your next Edelweiss tour Allan. Great to see you've picked another one down south by the sea. And I'm sure you're in great company with Marko and Claudia down there.

Have a wonderful ride!

Again no melon. Actually there was one, but it was frozen. I guess I have to prepare this video sequence myself. Or just show up at one of your Tuscany picnics...
