Best motorcycle routes for enjoying nature in Spain

It's always a good time to ride a motorcycle. Especially if the goal is to take a motorcycle trip. An outing that provides great freedom and gives you the chance to explore truly unique places that you might not discover otherwise. That’s why we’re going to highlight some of the best motorcycle routes in Spain.

While we could take a ride on European roads, we will focus on destinations and routes in Spain that we recommend doing at least once in your life. From those bikers who meticulously plan their routes to those who prefer to be surprised by the landscape until they reach their chosen destination.

Whether you belong to one group or the other, what’s important is to enjoy all the geography of Spain, the towns, and their people throughout this journey.

Motorcycle Routes in Spain

Among the proposals we will highlight in this article, we could easily include others you may have experienced that are just as impactful, if not more so. But among our favorites are the following:

Aragon and the Pyrenees

This route is a must, especially the one that traverses the Pyrenean area of Aragon and Catalonia. A continuous route of pure nature with green landscapes and mountains that you can't miss. Routes that you can always vary and choose different paths, whether from the Aragonese Pyrenees or venturing into the French part.

The alternation of mountains and valleys will leave you in awe, and the nobility and uniqueness of the towns are worthy of admiration.

On the other hand, in the other part of Aragon, in Bajo Aragón, you can also take the opportunity to do an authentic route through towns and roads that border towns like Alcañiz and the Matarraña area.

Route through the Picos de Europa

And if we’re talking about nature and mountains, we can’t overlook another of Spain’s premier motorcycle routes. The one that goes through the Picos de Europa in the Cantabrian Mountains. A spectacular ride where you can see Natural Parks and unspoiled nature. A route through Cantabria and Asturias that is highly recommended, though it's worth noting the numerous curves you'll encounter.

The Best Motorcycle Route in Andalusia

In the case of the Andalusian region, we will highlight the route from Málaga to Cádiz. A journey that can be classified as one of the most complete in southern Spain. It's a route to enjoy and take at a leisurely pace. You can gather experiences in both natural settings and explore numerous towns. We recommend starting from Cádiz, but the route covers barely 200 km where you can see typical Andalusian structures and houses, the colors of the coast, and all its charm. In Andalusia, other routes such as those connecting Almería and Granada are also noteworthy.

Routes in Northern Spain

If we previously talked about the motorcycle route through the Picos de Europa, there are other corners and roads in the north of the country that also deserve special mention. Both the routes and roads of the Basque Country, as well as the trails that run through Asturias and Galicia (Rías Baixas), are truly special and very appealing for motorcycle riding in the summer months.
