Tour overview:
Departing
from Portsmouth we take the overnight ferry to Santander. This
ferry journey is approx 24 hrs so plenty of time to relax, have
a drink or three, and get to know each other. There is the choice
of live entertainment/cabaret or a film in the cinema, or of course
just a quiet drink and a chat in the lounge bar. After a nights
rest we will be landing at Santander and then riding through the
heart of Spain.
Fantastic
roads open up before us very quickly letting us know we are definitely
out of the UK and the tardy road conditions. Ahead is some serious
biking country.
 Once
into Spain we head for Valladolid for our first overnight stop.
.
Peaceful mountain
villages and orange groves make this a spectacular ride as we
continue South West and head for Salamanca.
From Salamanca
we continue South through the Parque Nacional de Monfrague renknowned
for its high densities of large birds such as Black Vulture Spanish
imperial Eagle, Black Stork, Griffon Vulture, Perdicera Eagle,
Golden Eagle and more.
 .
Caceres is
our next stop before continueing onto Seville and eventually down
to Gibraltar
and the port of Tarifa where we will catch the ferry to Tangier
and then head South towards the interior and the mountains.

Tarifa & Tangier Ports
Whilst we
ride through these mountains we visit Ketima where we will get
fantastic views of Mount Tidirhine.
We will visit
some bustling, busy cities/towns with very narrow streets –where
in some cases, the only way of getting round the Medinas is by
foot.
From the mountains
it's then the Sahara and eventually we cross the High Atlas mountains
via the stunning Tizi-n-Tichka pass. This is an amazing road with
twists and turns which take you through fantastic mountain scenery
before heading into Marrakech. This road was built by the French
Foreign Legion in the1930s and loops and twists its way along
the exposed ridges, as high as 7,415ft. above sea level.
 With
many other towns and sights to see on this amazing tour of Morrocco/North
Africa we will eventually head back to Tangier and the ferry back
into Spain with an alternative but just as thrilling route home.
This trip
includes
an overnight bivouac in the desert (which we reach by camel) as
well as optional 4x4 or quad bike trips into the desert.
This promises
to be THE motorbike tour of 2011.
This is also
the ONLY 2011 tour we are advertising now.
