Southern Spain

It began after me and Thoughtful Mark had been on a tour. The tour was OK, but there was something missing. Yes, the route was good, the hotels were fine and the tour leaders were efficient. We arrived at our destinations on time, as planned and the guides were attentive to our needs, but still there was something. It wasn't something that was wrong with the tour; it was something that wasn't there.
When we returned home, I was chatting with Thoughtful Mark and we came to realise why we hadn't enjoyed the tour as much has we should have. Although we weren't exactly unhappy, we hadn't smiled enough, so began to think, not that we could do the tour better, but differently. That was the beginning of the thought process that brought us to where we are today, and that is why our tours put the emphasis on having a good time as well as seeing some fantastic sights.
The tours are added to every year, with 'The Spanish Heartland Tour' being a favourite. This tour a seven night, one hotel trip based near Soria. We meet at Santander and ride around four and a half hours to our hotel, from where daily excursions are made to the surrounding mountains and countryside. The 'Monasterio de Piedra' features in this tour, along with trips to 'The Black Lagoon' and 'Wolf River Canyon'. There are mountain roads, a mediaeval village and miles of near deserted roads, so there should be something for everyone. One point here; you aren't obliged to travel to Santander by ferry, it's just that most people do; you could make your own way through France if you like.
The whole of Spain is something of a national park. It really must be the best country in Europe for motorcycling. If any of you would like to see the tours in more detail, or receive our newsletter, please visit the website www.motorbike-tours.co.uk  Shortly, a brochure in PDF format will available to one and all, but in the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Hope to see you soon.
