Full Description

IMTBike is proud to present a unique tour designed especially for BMW MOA! This tour starts and ends in beautiful Sevilla Spain and will take you 1200 miles through sunny Andalucia, a region famous for its Moorish influence, whitewashed "pueblos", delicious "tapas", flamenco dancing, olive trees, and bravo bulls used in the "Corrida de Toros." In Andalucia there is no shortage of great serpentine curves with the Sierra de Grazalema and Sierra Nevada Mountain ranges. All roads are well-paved, full of twisties and sweepers, and there is very little traffic. This special BMW MOA tour has two rest days, in Ronda and Granada, to give you time to sightsee in these fascinating towns. Start your riding season early and explore Andalucia with IMTBike and the BMW MOA.
