After our briefing in the morning, the handover of the motorcycles will take place.

On the first day of the tour you will cross the Catalan interior (Empordá) and master the Montseny mountain, Barcelona's local riding area, to warm up for your tour. After the first lunch, perfect asphalt and curves await you on the Collada de Tosas, which will bring you closer to the peaks of the Pyrenees. You spend the night in picturesque Puigcerda, which is only a stone's throw away from Andorra.

After Andorra, the route first crosses into France and then over the Port d'en Valira, the highest paved mountain pass in the entire Pyrenees. On the way down, you can visit a motorcycle museum or explore the roads of the old smuggler's route between France and Spain while enjoying the breathtaking views of this rugged mountain paradise. Back in Spain, head west to follow the Noguera Pallaresa and Bonaigua rivers on a wonderfully winding mountain road to Port de la Bonaigua, from where you'll arrive at your hotel in the Aran Valley.

The village with its 39 inhabitants is also known as the smallest village in the world with a cathedral. You ride along the legendary N-260 and come back from Aragon to Catalonia over mountain passes and through forests.

You ride through the Cadí-Moixeró National Park to the Montserrat Nature Reserve with its famous monastery, the most important pilgrimage site in Spain after Santiago de Compostela. The last winding section of this tour takes you into and over the Collserola hills to the viewpoint at Tibidabo. From here you can enjoy a magnificent view of the city of Barcelona before returning to Hispania Tours.
