MOORISH ROUTE - SELF-GUIDED PACKAGE 10 DAYS
ONE WEEK FOLLOWING THE ARABIC HERITAGE IN PORTUGAL AND SPAIN
A charming course that takes us through ancient roman and arabic routes. We'll visit Évora and the Monsaraz Castle. From there we'll be able to marvel at the unreal landscape of the Alqueva reservoir. We will cross the Alentejo Wine region until we enter Spain, directly to the most famous smoked ham producing region, Aracena.
After visiting magnificent Seville, the tour proceeds to the Mediterranean Coast to the strait of Gibraltar. Africa will be seen across the Strait but it's the subject of another tour.
For now, we move to picturesque Ronda and the preserved Moorish heritage in Granada, where we will visit the enchanted Alhambra. Then, chasing the windmills that enchanted Dom Quijote, we cross la Mancha to the medieval town of Toledo.
The fairytale continues at Segovia's Castle, the preciosity that inspired the Disney Castle and Avila, the Gredos Mountains and Caceres.
Marvão, with its medieval little castle on a cliff top with the most wonderful view, will welcome us back to Portugal.
This overwhelmingly charming route visits seven UNESCO Heritage Sites and five Natural Parks. Deserted roads with beautifully carved turns, great food and wine and selected lodgings make this tour an irresistible introduction to motorcycling in Portugal and Spain.
