THE CHARME OF LISBON BIG FUN FOR COUPLESCABO SAN VICENTE

4

Our trip goes over Sierra Morena towards the mountains of the Serra Estrella. Here we find the highest mountains of Portugals, where we will spend an extra day before we travel further towards the most westerly point in Europe, the Cabo de Roca. In Lisbon we take another restday to explore this fascinating metropole. Our tour will go on along the Atlantic to Sagres before returning via Aracena and Seville to the starting point of our tour. The tour offers com-plete motorcycling pleasure on winding moun-tain and country roads. The roads throughout the entire route are asphalted.

Portugal – The history of this seafaring nation is characterised by explorers and conquerors, while the natural beauty of this diverse country is virtually second to none. Extensive lowlands and kilome-tres of spectacular shoreline, fertile river valleys and imposing mountain ranges create the backdrop for this fascinating motorbike tour. Historic cities, hospitable people, delicious cuisine and fabulous wi-nes are just waiting to be discovered.

Serra da Estrela

The Parque Natural da Serra da Estrela surrounds the westernmost part of the Iberian dividing range, which is home to the highest mountains of the Portuguese mainland. The Serra is characterized by natural forests and lakes, bizarre rock forma-tions, wild ravines, streams, great views and above all, the wonderfully fresh mountain air!

Lisbon

As Portugal‘s largest city, with the country‘s main port, the seat of government, the supreme state government agencies, six universities and the Academy of Sciences, Lisbon is the political, eco-nomic and cultural center of the country. Due to its location on the Tagus, for a long time the only way south from Lisbon was via ferry. The Ponte 25 de Abril (1013m span and 2287m in length) was completed in 1966 and for the first time connec-ted Lisbon with Almada on the south of the Tagus.

Alcántara

The bridge of Alcántara is a Roman stone arch bridge in Spain, in the eponymous town of Extre-madura about 5 km before the Portuguese border spans the River Tagus. It is regarded as the most significant surviving Roman bridge in the world. Legend has it that a golden sword is walled up in the foundations of the bridge; a further legend says that this is the sword of Roderick, the last Visigoth King of Toledo.

Seville

Seville, whose foundation dates back to the anci-ent legend of Herakles the Greek hero, was already an important commercial centre before the arri-val of the Romans and was called „Hispalis“ in antiquity. The city flag of Seville, as well as the coat of arms, bears the text NO 8 DO. The „8“ is represents a skein of wool or „madeja“ in Spanish. The motto, therefore, reads „NO madeja DO,“ a play on the sentence, „No me ha dejado“ or „She [the city] has not abandoned me“. This play on words is accredited to Alfonso X, who penned the motto to thank the city for its support during his exile, in which he lived from his dethronement until his death.

Day 1: Arrival in Malaga

Arrival at Malaga airport and transfer to the Hotel.

Introductions over dinner with Spanish wine while giving us an opportunity to discuss our tour.

Day 2: Malaga – 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 won-derful 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 - Tomar 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: Tomar - 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 at-mosphere 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 – Restday

We visit the beautiful capital of Lisbon - you have the choice to be on your own or join our guide during the day. At night we will vibe to the local Fado tunes with a glass of Port wine.

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.

Duration: 11 days

Total distance: Approx. 2.400 km

Day 9: Lagos – Seville

Today we ride through the province of Alente-jo through cork oak forests, past grain fields and olive trees. The roads lined with euca-lyptus trees seem to wind endlessly through the countryside. In the afternoon 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.

Day 10: Seville - Grazalema – Malaga

On the last day we still have the motorcycle paradise of Andalusia to enjoy and conquer the Sierra Grazalema mountains. Back in Málaga over a farewell dinner we look back at some of the fantastic impressions of the past weeks.

Day 11: Return journey

Note: We reserve the right to make minor changes to the tour.
