The Costa Blanca offers so much variety to the
visitor that it is impossible to even attempt to describe it all.
Particularly
for the touring motorcyclist the Costa Blanca offers a wealth of changing roads,
interesting rides, scenery, superb year round weather (sometimes it rains) and
places to visit.
There are many attractions on the Costa Blanca, some of them
specially for tourists like the entertainment park
Terra Mitica at Benidorm or
the bays of Altea and Calpe.
To us the greatest beauty of the Costa Blanca comes
from the mountains and the sea.
Its beaches along with its tiny villages on the
coast and tucked into the mountains give the
Costa Blanca its unique attraction
and make it a superb riding area.
We have located our site in a position where
the entire Costa Blanca is in easy reach for you.
These are only a small sample
of the highlights of the Costa Blanca!

Our site, located near Alicante (15km), provides the ideal stopping point on your tour of Spain for a few days, a week or even longer. You would need a week just to scratch the surface of this wonderful area, just to enjoy the riding through the mountains with little traffic. We are just over half way down the east coast of Spain off the main Autoroute (A7). |

Agost The nearest village to our site (3km) and the centre of the pottery industry in Spain. Agost is a typical medium size Spanish village, friendly, tranquil and full of character. In the area many pottery outlets can be found at true
Spanish prices not tourist! The range is huge and you will easily need
an empty trailer to take back all the lovely items you will see. |
