Are you ready to reach the highest peaks of Spain through spectacular mountain roads through the inland regions?
Spain is an endless treasure for moto travellers and is surely more known for its coastal scenaries than for its inland territory, like the wild lanscapes of Extremadura or the rocky and montanous regions of Castilla y Leon and Castilla la Mancha. This Route Collection will guide you through Spain's inland mountain regions.
The Highest Paved Road in Europe
