Day 2: La Herradura (Costa del Sol) – Zafra On a spectacular mountain road, the first stage of our motorbike tour takes us through Andalusia's fascinating mountains – welcome to Andalusia the motorbiking paradise – and we continue on these winding roads until we reach our destination for today – Zafra.
Day 3: Zafra – bridge of Alcantara – Manteigas Over the bridge of Alacantara (until now the best preserved Roman bridge) we reach Portugal. This border area between Spain and Portugal conveys the impressions that time here has simply stood still. Cork oak forests, a sea of flowers, picturesque lakes and ancient Spanish villages adorn our route through the mountains of the Serra Estrella.
Day 4: Manteigas – Serra Estrella – Manteigas We extend our stay in the Serra Estrella by one day as this mountainous region tempts us with magnificent mountain passes and wonderful panoramic views. This region is home to Portugal's highest mountains with their winding roads serving as a yardstick for any serious biker. In the evening we can relax in a grand Pousada in the middle of the nature reserve.
Day 5: Manteigas - Castelo de Bode We stay with our bikes on the panoramic roads. Also on this part of the tour you can enjoy the impressive views and perfect roads. We drive through de Serra de Lousa and pass ancient authentic, partly deserted, villages.
Day 6: Castello de Boda - Lisbon We are only a few kilometres separates from the capital of Portugal, Lisbon (Lisboa), which is located on the left bank of the river Tejo. The best way to to get an impression of the atmosphere of the old city of Lisbon, is to stroll through the bairro (district) Alfama. Here you will find a labyrinth of small streets and alleys with old houses, former palaces and bars.
Day 7: Lisbon – Round trip We head west, further west and to the most western point of the continent of Europe, the Cabo da Roca where we can gaze out at the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. After this trip we turn our entire attention back to Lisbon with all its amazing places of interest.
Day 8: Lisbon - Lagos After the hustle and bustle of the city, we drive further along the Atlantic coast. Our route will take us to Cabo des Sinnes, Cabo de Sao Vicente, and to the southwestern point of the continent Europe; Sagres. Some splendid views over ocean are guaranteed here.
Day 9: Lagos – Aracena Today we ride through the province of Alentejo through cork oak forests, past grain fields and olive trees. The roads lined with eucalyptus trees seem to wind endlessly through the countryside. In the Serra Morena we will relax in a beautiful Finca where we can taste the delicious Cerdo Iberico (Iberian ham).
Day 10: Aracena – Seville – La Herradura On the way back to the starting point of our journey we still have enough time to visit Seville, the capital city and heart of Andalusian culture. Seville, the focal point of bullfighting and flamenco, is undoubtedly one of the Spain's most exciting and fascinating cities. Back in La Herradura over a farewell dinner we look back at some of the fantastic impressions of the past weeks.
