If you arrange the flight yourself, you will need to handle the transfer as well. Once you arrive at the hotel, it’s time to enjoy all the hotel facilities and the surrounding area!

Today, you will depart in the morning to the motorcycle rental location to pick up your rental bike. Once everything is arranged and you're suited up, your motorcycle trip can begin. The bike comes equipped with three panniers. Day route 1 starts from the rental location. The initial part takes you along the coast, then you head into the mountains through beautiful nature. Enjoy a coffee break whenever needed, then get back on the road to continue this stunning route. In the distance, you’ll see castles and breathtaking views. Along the way, you’ll pass Museo Motocicletas, where you can visit a museum filled with antique motorcycles, definitely worth a stop!

During the route, you can stop for a delicious lunch, then get back on the bike full of energy for the second part of the route. You’ll reach a slightly flatter area where you'll ride through mandarin orchards. The route alternates between rugged and flat terrain. Along the way, you have the option to make an interesting stop at Cueva Del Rull, a beautiful cave. You will continue the route and ride over the dam of Embalse de Beniarrés. You might want to take another coffee break before riding the last part of the route back to the hotel.

The first part of this route takes you along a main road, but soon you'll be rewarded with stunning scenery. You'll quickly gain elevation, reaching the highest point after about 30 km! Shortly after, you'll pass through the larger town of Alcoy, crossing a bridge here. After about 50 km, the road becomes slightly rougher, and driving becomes more intense. Once you enter the province of Valencia a bit later, the road suddenly becomes perfect again. The area you're now driving through is called Parc Natural de la Serra de Mariola, occasionally offering beautiful roads through heathlands. The route passes by the town of Bocairent, offering a picturesque view from the road. You'll navigate through gorges and forests towards Alfarassi, where you can enjoy a cup of coffee. Shortly after, Castillo de Xativa comes into view, in the town of Xativa itself. Here too, you could make a coffee or lunch stop. After this, you'll enjoy beautiful drives through green landscapes with delightful roads. A few more castles follow, and you'll end the day with another beautiful stretch of road back to the hotel.

Today is a rest day, a perfect opportunity to relax by the pool, sunbathe on the beach, or take a trip to the center of Alicante. From the hotel, you can easily hop on the tram towards downtown Alicante or other seaside towns like Benidorm, San Vicente del Raspeig, El Campello, and San Juan. A tram ticket costs approximately €1.40. In Alicante itself, you can explore the harbor or visit the Santa Barbara Castle. A stroll along the promenade, Rambla Méndez Núñez, is also highly recommended, as well as exploring the historic city center. If you still feel like touring for the day, we have a stunning day route of 441 km ready for you. This route takes you through the mountains southwest of Valencia, which is a bit further away. Therefore, the first and last hour of this route are on the highway to reach these beautiful mountain roads.

This route begins on several main roads leading to the mountains. Shortly after departure, you'll be greeted by a stunning view of the majestic mountains, with even more breathtaking vistas shortly thereafter. From kilometer 30, you'll dive back into smaller winding roads. Denia is a sizable city you'll enter along the coast, where you can definitely make a stop to explore. Along the way, there are several opportunities for a coffee break, such as at Gorga and Lorcha, where you'll have to drive through the small town center for a stop.

After passing through various villages and reaching high points, including a fun mountain pass at almost 600 meters, you'll arrive at Castello de Rugat, where you can pause again for coffee or an early lunch. Further along, at kilometer 228, you'll pass Tarbena, a picturesque town where you can stop for a coffee break or a late lunch. The last 30 kilometers of the route follow the coast on a larger road, with the option to even ride this last part on the highway. The end of the route is characterized by occasional narrower roads and some rougher patches, but mostly by countless bends, allowing motorcyclists to enjoy the ride to the very end.

From Alicante, you head towards Jijona, where you're greeted by the sweet scent of nougat, also known as Turron. Then, the route takes you to Millena, a picturesque village surrounded by tranquil nature. Continuing through scenic towns nestled amidst green hills and orange groves, you'll pass through Villalonga before reaching Benirrama, where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of this secluded village.

After Benirrama, the route leads you to Pego, where you can indulge in a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before continuing your journey. Next, the road takes you to Castell de Castells, a historic village with narrow streets and old buildings. Finally, you return to Alicante, where you can reflect on a day full of discoveries and adventures in the heart of the beautiful Alicante region. Once back at the hotel, it's time to pack up your belongings and return your rental motorcycle.

The final morning of the trip has arrived, time to pack up the last items and enjoy the last breakfast. If you booked your flight with us, you will be taken to the airport with our transfer service. If you booked a flight yourself, you can take a taxi to the airport, for example.
