Malaga
Tour participants meet in Malaga where we will get to know each other with a welcome drink and afterwards enjoy a dinner together in the evening.
Saturday, Day 2
Malaga - Granada
Early in the morning we will pick up our Harley-Davidson motorcycles and head straight for our adventure. Between the inland and seaward mountain ranges of the Costa del Sol we will head for Granada.
At the foot of the mountains of the Sierra Nevada we will visit the Moorish Palace of Alhambra and spend the night in a hotel located on the outskirts of the town.
Sunday, Day 3
Granada - Sevilla
We will travel to Seville via Cordoba, the former metropolis of the caliphs and take a trip to the Mesquita (a Spanish mosque, one of the finest examples of Islamic architecture).
An absolute must for any visitor to Andalucia is the Flamenco, which we will enjoy in one of the famous Flamenco restaurants in Seville, the heartland of this dance. In addition, we will visit the night spots of the town, including the 97 meter high Giralda.
Monday, Day 4
Sevilla - Aracena
After enjoying a late night in Seville, we can sleep in and take things a bit slowly, then we can set off late and as well as rested. Our journey leads us westwards, to Aracena to be exact, where we will tour the famous Castillo de Aracena.
Tuesday, Day 5
Aracena - Sagres
Today is the longest day on the road. Those who have been on previous tours with us will know what that means. We will ride in the southern sunshine covering the endless distances of Andalucia, pass and enjoy the Haziendas, the springtime, and forget the grayness of winter. We will drive through Beja and Grandola to the west coast of Portugal, then with a few stops on the way, far from civilization, to arrive at the most southern west corner of Portugal, Sagres.
Wednesday, Day 6
Sagres - Cadiz
We can watch the incomparable sunrise from our hotel rooms. Before continuing our journey we have time for an excursion to admire the Fortaleza with her navigational natural wonder. The famous lighthouse at Cabo de São Vincente is also part of the trip.
After this we will travel through the provincial capital Faro, and along the Algarve in the south of Portugal. After our excursion to Portugal we will reach the Costa de La Luz, an insiders tip. In the biggest national park in Spain between Huelva and Cadiz the Coto de Donana European migratory birds spend the winter. The park offers a mild climate throughout the year, and this is one reason the birds stay here. Travelling through Puerto de Sta. Maria we will arrive in the late afternoon in the old seafarer city of Cadiz where we will stay the night.
Thursday, Day 7
Cadiz - Gibraltar
Today is devoted to Gibraltar. From Cadiz we travel along the southern coast of Spain past marvelous sandy beaches to Tarifa, the southernmost town of Spain. Around endless S-bends, and through a forest of windmills generating electricity we finally head downhill through Algeciras to Gibraltar. Although this is British territory we drive on the right side of the road! The Rock is world-famous and we will not only join the aptly named Rock-Tour, but stay in a luxury hotel of the same name. We will plunge into the typical British atmosphere of this hotel, where anyone who is anyone – V.I.P.s, politicians, business leaders and film stars, whether on official business or for private pleasure - spend the night. Those of simpler tastes may spend the evening enjoying fish and chips in the Star Bar, Parliament Lane - the oldest pub in Gibraltar. A sight not to be missed is the view of the ships lit up at night anchored off the shore of Gibraltar.
