SPANISH MOTOFIESTA -
best motorcycle holidays
Spain- the best country for motorcycle trips.
Spain is a country located on the Iberian Peninsula. Its territory includes also the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands. Due to its the wide, sandy beaches and mild climate, Spain is one of the top holiday destinations. The eternally shining sun and warm sea are an ultimate invitation to relax. The Spaniards always amaze others with their cultural diversity and open attitude when interacting with the tourists – they are often being described as energetic, friendly and full of optimism people.
This charming country is not only full of friendly people, but also beautiful sandy beaches and mountains. Spain abounds in many kilometres wonderful, winding mountain trails offering unforgettable landscapes and just excellent weather for riding a motorcycle.
The history and culture of Spain is as fascinating as its nature. Eight centuries of the presence of Arab-Muslim culture on the Iberian Peninsula changed the face of this part of Europe. We can admire excellent Spanish monuments such as the Alhambra in Granada, Plaza de España in Seville or La Mezquita in Cordoba today. When visiting this country, you also need to taste its traditional cuisine. Spanish cuisine consists of culinary traditions from as many as 6 different regions. Each of them is characterized by the use of slightly different ingredients and has been influenced by other parts of the world. It is worth going to Spain to experience everything that awaits us there.
During the Spanish Motofiesta you explore Costa Blanca, a unique combination of the mountainous areas of Sierra Aitana, picturesquely contrasting with the covered with green lowlands and the cliff coasts, which is the dream come true for every motorcycle expedition lover. During the day you can ride through hundreds of turns on mountain passes with breathtaking views, in the afternoon you can relax by the hotel pool with a drink in hand or enjoy the sound of the sea waves lying on a nearby beach
This motorbike trip has a stationary character
There are six planned trips around the place that end with returning to the same hotel each time. It is the perfect formula for an active holiday in the form of a motorcycle vacation, because you ride “lightly” and leave your luggage in a comfortable hotel room from where you do not have to move it anywhere.
Our guests are accommodated in double rooms in Port Europa, Calpe, the high-standard hotel on the seafront. We use our fleet of new Yamaha motorcycles for riding. Each trip is led by an experienced guide.

Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Valencia, because that is its full name, is one of the most famous monuments in Spain. Its construction began in the 13th century. According to the ancient tradition, the Holy Grail located in The Cathedral was made available to watch by the faithful visiting this temple.

Along the way, we can feel a little dizzy because of the number of turns! From there, we go to the famous El Castell de Guadalest, a small town with the ruins of a fortress built by the Moors at the turn of the eighth and ninth centuries. There we anticipate a break to explore and admire the area from the perspective of the town walls and continue our ride southwest towards Benidorm.
