Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do this tour with my partner as a passenger?

Yes, it is possible. Many of the routes are on good quality asphalt and the accommodations are comfortable for two people. Keep in mind that the difficulty level is intermediate-advanced, so the rider must have sufficient experience to handle the tight curves with a passenger. We offer bikes with adjusted suspension for duo riding.

Do I need to carry luggage on the motorcycle?

No, the support vehicle will transport your main luggage between hotels. You will only need to carry the essentials for the day (water, camera, documents) on the bike. This makes your riding lighter and safer. Every afternoon, you will find your suitcases waiting for you in your hotel room.

What happens if it rains during the route?

The route runs through predominantly dry areas, especially Tarifa and Málaga. In the event of moderate rain, we will continue with the necessary precautions - make sure to bring waterproof clothing. If there are severe conditions (heavy storm), the guide may adjust the itinerary or schedules to wait for the weather to improve, always prioritising the safety of the group.

I'm vegetarian/vegan, will I be able to eat well on this tour?

Of course. For each included dinner, we notify the restaurants and hotels in advance to prepare vegetarian, vegan or adapted options to any dietary requirements. Andalusia offers delicious dishes of vegetables, legumes and tropical fruits that you can enjoy. Your gastronomic satisfaction is guaranteed.

What is the alcohol policy during the tour?

For safety reasons, no more than one beer should be consumed during lunch, although we recommend not consuming alcohol during the riding day.
