North West Spain
Picos to Atlantic Coast
Mountains. Empty roads. Atlantic coastlines. Spain done properly — not the tourist version.
Duration
10–14 Days
Distance
~1,500 miles
Start / Finish
Santander (via ferry)
Riding Level
Intermediate–Experienced
Northern Spain is one of Europe's best-kept secrets for motorcyclists.
Perfect roads. Incredible scenery. A riding culture that just works.
This tour starts the moment you roll off the ferry into Santander — and from there, it only gets better.
Three Spains in One Tour
Mountains, interior, and coast — each completely different in character. Most Spain tours stick to one region. This one connects all three.
- →The legendary Picos de Europa — tight mountain roads, dramatic limestone peaks
- →Spain's historic interior — Segovia, Ávila, Salamanca, Ribera del Duero
- →Wild Atlantic Galicia — Baiona, Cape Fisterra, Asturian coast
- →Fast, empty inland Spanish roads on the transitions between each
