Picos & Pyrenees Motorycle Tour 2026 & 2027 .

This tour runs from the 13th of August to the 26th of August. We also run other tour dates, so please enquire for details.

We recommend a comfortable touring, adventure, or sport-touring bike that can handle mountain passes, winding coastlines, and a few long-haul days. If you’re unsure, give us a shout – we can help you prep or sort a hire bike through our partners.

Absolutely. This tour is open to solo riders, riding pairs, and pillions alike. The roads are varied and scenic, with plenty of opportunities for both spirited riding and relaxed cruising.

• A valid passport

• Small daypack or tank bag

• A thirst for adventure

Expect a mix! The Spanish coast and inland areas are usually warm and dry, but the Pyrenees and Picos can be unpredictable – we might get a bit of rain or mist at altitude. Layer up and bring waterproofs.

You better believe it. From tapas in Santiago to pintxos in San Sebastián and hearty Pyrenean mountain fare, the food and wine are unreal. Every stop has its local flavour – you won’t go hungry.

Yep! Three well-placed rest days in Santiago de Compostela, Arreau and San Sebastien give you time to recharge, explore, or go for an optional ride. It’s your tour – do it your way.

Not at all, though a few basics help. We provide a tour booklet with key phrases, and our guides (if selected) are always on hand to help. Locals are generally friendly and welcoming to bikers.

The overnight ferry from Plymouth to Santander is comfy and gives you a chilled start to the adventure. Private cabins, food on board, and time to meet fellow riders – it’s all part of the experience.

You don’t need to be a veteran road warrior, but you should be a competent and confident rider. If you’re comfortable with twisty roads, riding for a few hours at a time, and handling different weather conditions, you’ll be just fine. It’s not a race – we ride at a steady pace with plenty of stops to soak it all in.

Not at all! We provide GPX routes for every day, so you can ride at your own pace, take detours, buddy up with others, or stick with the guide – totally up to you. Some riders love the freedom, others enjoy the group buzz. And hey, our guide’s a top bloke – he’d appreciate some company now and then, so don’t leave him too lonely out there!

Absolutely. This tour is about freedom and exploration. Some days you might want to ride alone, stop more for photos, or explore a nearby route – that’s totally fine. We’ll see you at the next hotel with a cold drink waiting.

Each morning we have a relaxed rider briefing, and then we roll out together. You can ride with the group, tag along behind the guide, or set off solo using the GPX route. Most riders end up mixing it up during the tour.

 No stress – you’ll have the full route on your sat nav or phone, and we’re always just a WhatsApp away. Plus, we regroup at planned stops and hotel check-ins.
