Three week's in Spain ...

[John933]

My first post and I'm looking for some one to join me ... Is that good or not ???


Best put this is for 2010
Just book two week accommodation in Torremolinos ... Self catering for me and my lady friend ... Riding down from the UK planing on taking four day's to go down ... Leaving On the 11 of May and coming back on the 2/3 June ... Ride down and camp ... My lady friend is flying down on the Sunday ... Out of Stansted ... Should meet up if all go'es well ... Looking for some one who is interested in joining ... The men ride down and the lady's fly ... The ride the south part of Spain for two week's knowing you have a base in Torremolinos ... Total cost just over a grand for both of us ...

Any one interested ???

More information ...
May 11 Tuesday... First night camp at Kings down just out side Dover £5 per night ...

May 12 Wednesday... Catch the crossing P&O to Calais on the 8.30 am crossing ...
Ride down to Poitiers ... French Municipal camp site ... So should be from 5/8 euros for the stop over ... 370 mile's in the first day ...

May 13 Thursday ... The second day is an easy day with only 278 mile's down to the French Spanish borders ... Place called Saint-Jean-De-Luz ... Same thing French Municipal camp site ... So the price will be about the same ...

May 14 Friday ... Ride in to Spain ... About 100 mile's south of Madrid ... Travel distance 435 mile's ... There are two camp site's about five mile's apart on the E5 ... Price your guess is as good as mine ... But can't see it being more than 8/10 euros ...

May 15 Saturday ... From that camp site to Torremolinos 219 miles ...
That will get us there a day early ... As the place is booked from Sunday 16 until Sunday 30 ... So one of the stop's will have to be a two day stay over ... Could be Saint Jean-De Luz ... And have a day out riding the southern Pyrenees ...

About £750 for two people to stay in a self catering complex on the south end of Torremolinos ... For two week's ... That's with a mid day flight out for one ... From Stansted and return flight back to the UK ... The return is also a mid day flying ... So no arriving in the night and not knowing what's going on ... Pick up at the Spanish air-port and take you to the hotel ... From then on your time is your own ... Do what you like ...

Trip back ...
Will have to leave a day early on Saturday 29 May ... Ride across the plain's of Spain to a small place called Trillo 388 mile's ... Camp site ...

Sunday 30 May ... From Trillo in to France north of Toulouse by about 50 mile's ... Camp site is in a small place called Albi ...

Monday 31 May ... The next bit is a bit of doubling back on your self ... Going east on the D999 until you meet the A75 just south of Millau ... To cross the bridge in the sky ... Then up the back road's to south of Orleans ... name of the place La Ferte-Saint-Aubin ... Another French Municipal camp site ...

Tuesday the 1 June ... Ride up to Calais 274 mile's ... Over night stay there ... That could either be a B&B or camping ... As it's the last night I'm easy ...

Wednesday 2 June ... Catch the P&O crossing at 11.40 am ... Giving you enough time to see a bit of Calais ... Or just to have a lie in ...

Hope that's wetted some one appetite ...

Hi John

It might initially seem a little daunting doing it on your own but you will soon settle in and enjoy it. Being able to do what you want when you want,at your time and pace is a big plus, treat the run there and back as part of your adventure you have chosen a fantastic destination for your biking holiday if you check out the link, I have laid out a few routes that I can thoroughly recommend

I've ridden and toured down through Spain on many occasions both alone and with a friend on his bike. Usually spend some time staying just outside Marbella.

Some great roads around there.

Enjoy

In the same neck of the woods..

Hey John993

I will be in the same neck of the woods at the same time... I plan to meet my present wife off a jet and join some friends in a Hotel in Marbella ... From the 14 May I will be around so if you are heading for a ride inland to the hills during this period I would be into a link up... There are some great roads around and its a nice part of the world to motorcycle in .Ride the hills and then down to the coast for the apre ride...The base on the coast is a great idea... Have a look here for a idea of what is around that area.. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?p=12192271

 

[John933]

I'll have to write all this down before I go ... And see what happens ... It is a holiday for us both ... So it's going to be a case of what time I can get off on my own ...

Hi John,

Not really able to do 3 weeks down in Spain but planning to travel down around that time. If you were interested in a bit of a schedule change might be nice to have company. Planning to travel down to a place called Calasparra and taking 3 days (it's not as far as Torremolinos). So if you would stretch day 2 we could get to Calasparra on the third day instead of south of Madrid. I have a place there and you are welcome to stop a couple of nights or so if that would suit your schedule.

FYI - Riding an F800GS.
