French Pyrenees - Lourdes

The towering Pyrenees in South-Western France lie between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. This mountainous area, in which the wild Parc National des Pyrénées is located, is claimed to be a paradise for hikers, fishermen and skiers. And although the Pyrenees are quit green in France and the weather in this area is cool, it is also a paradise for motorbikers. Of course you have to be a bit lucky with the weather, but the scenery is beautiful.

Riding the Rioja - Haro

The Rioja is a famous Spanish red wine and therefore the Rioja region is filled with vineyards on the hills. The region is surrounded by mountains protecting the region from the cold wind and rain from the sea and therefore has a hot and dry climate. So a perfect region to explore in a motorcycle tour! The 2 rides will be exploring the Rioja Baja, Alavesa ánd Alta, the beautiful landscape the river Ebro formed here and some amazingly well preserved beautiful old towns.
