Mediterranean Routes

Heading to Spain? I always carry my GHIC - it's free, fast and it can get you state medical care if the worst happens. But here’s the thing: GHIC helps with emergency treatment and replacement prescriptions, yes - but it doesn’t replace travel insurance. I bring both. Always.

Why? GHIC gets you into the state system; travel insurance covers repatriation, long-term costs and the gaps GHIC won’t. Remember the checklist: apply for GHIC, get travel insurance, pack enough meds and keep records of prescriptions. Simple admin: big peace of mind. If you want to know a bit more about it, read the blog on the on our website.

Riding across Spain and Portugal should be about the routes, the views, and the freedom - not worrying about what happens if you get unwell. Carry a GHIC. Buy travel insurance. Ride cool, ride safe, ride happy. 🇬🇧🏍️

Tell us - do you pack a GHIC before a trip? Share your travel prep tips below!

GHIC stands for Global Health Insurance Card. Before Brexit, UK travellers used the EHIC, which was the European Health Insurance Card. The GHIC replaced it for UK citizens. The purpose is simple. It helps you access medically necessary state healthcare during a temporary stay in countries such as S...

A Motorcycle trip is lived three times: when you dream it, when you ride it, and every time you open the book we make for you! We don't sell motorcycle tours through Spain. We build the journey, ride every kilometre with you, and hand you a memory that lasts

The Mediterranean is doing something quietly magical: long, soft days, roads that breathe, and that light — the golden hour — turning every bend into something you'll never forget.

This is the time of year Spain rides best. Cool, clear mornings. Empty mountain roads warming under the sun. And those last hours of daylight, when the whole landscape glows amber and the only sound is your engine carrying you toward the next village.

You don't just see Spain like this. You feel it.

The curve you took as the sun dropped low. The pueblo where time stood still. The bar where a local pointed you to the best plate you'd eat all week. These aren't photos for the feed — they're the memories you'll still be telling years from now.
Some trips you take. This one you keep. 🏍️

Spain. The road. The light. The freedom of two wheels. Feel the experience.

ES: Mientras la mayoría persigue el calor, quienes mejor conocen España reservan en silencio la temporada en la que Navarra brilla de verdad: el otoño. Navarra Esencial | 8–12 de octubre de 2026

755 km de puro asfalto por los Pirineos Occidentales, el Valle del Baztán y sus leyendas, los hayedos de Irati y Quinto Real tiñéndose de oro, y Urbasa, la carretera que los de aquí llamamos "el Stelvio navarro."

Es uno de nuestros viajes estrella, y lo han construido, organizan y guian quienes nacieron aquí Sentidomotero Viajes . Conocen cada curva, cada puerto y cada cocina de pueblo que merece una parada — desde los quesos del Roncal hasta la mesa tradicional de un otoño navarro.

Cinco días. Cuatro noches en pensión completa. Un grupo reducido de no más de diez motos. Un hotel rural como base, para que ruedes ligero y libre. Tú pones la curiosidad. Nosotros ponemos España.

Las plazas son limitadas y el otoño se reserva pronto. Planifica ahora, rueda en octubre. 👉 https://mediterraneanroutes.com/es/producto/tour-navarra-esencial/

EN:Whilst most people seek out the heat, those who know Spain best quietly set aside the season when Navarre truly shines: autumn. Essential Navarre | 8–12 October 2026

755 km of pure tarmac through the Western Pyrenees, the Baztán Valley and its legends, the beech forests of Irati and Quinto Real turning golden, and Urbasa, the road we locals call ‘the Navarran Stelvio’.

It is one of our flagship tours, and it has been designed, organised and led by those born here Viajes. They know every bend, every mountain pass and every village eatery worth a stop — from the cheeses of Roncal to the traditional fare of a Navarran autumn.

Five days. Four nights full board. A small group of no more than ten motorbikes. A rural hotel as your base, so you can ride light and free. You bring the curiosity. We bring Spain.

Places are limited and autumn books up fast. Plan now, ride in October.👉

🛣️ When we started Mediterranean Routes, we had one clear obsession: that no one crossing Spain on two wheels from abroad would have to worry about a single thing — only the ride itself. Everything else was on us.

What started almost as an aspiration has slowly become a network. Hotels that understand motorcyclists and treat your gear with respect. Restaurants where locals actually eat. Mechanics who can save you on a Sunday afternoon. Guides who know every curve and every story worth telling.

Each one of those partners brings us a little closer to that original promise.
Today we want to tell you about a new one: we've partnered with Motocard, one of the major references in the motorcycle world across Spain and Europe.

▶ As part of this agreement, we've secured for you a 10% discount on every purchase at Motocard — helmets, gear, accessories, and spare parts.

To activate it, you just need to be a member of Club MyMotocard. Signing up is free and quick, and from that moment you get access to every exclusive partner the Club keeps adding, month after month.

Dreaming about riding through Spain from the UK, Germany, the US, Canada, or Northern Europe? This one's for you.

I've spent the last two days at the Go Global Congreso by GVA IVACE meeting with their offices in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, and Northern Europe. Why does it matter? Because everything we do at Mediterranean Routes is built for one person — the international rider who wants to discover the real Spain, the one guidebooks never show.

For the day your trip feels easy, safe, and unforgettable, there's a lot of quiet work behind the scenes: vetted routes, motorcycle-ready hotels, real local food, support in your language when you need it.

You dream up the trip. We take care of the rest.

Thank you to Enrique for trusting this project from the start, and to Pere Ferrer Sanchis for the interview on the Valencia Plaza podcast.
Onward.

A few months ago, I received a message from the United States. Marlo and Patrick had been talking about this trip for years. Riding through Northern Spain. The mountain roads. The local food. That feeling of freedom you only get on two wheels in a country that was made for motorcycles.
But every time they started planning, the same questions came up. Which roads are actually worth it? Where do you sleep with the bike safe? What do you do if something goes wrong and you don't speak the language?
So they stopped planning. And they called us instead.
We designed their route through the north — San Sebastián, the Pyrenees, Canfranc, Viella. We booked the right hotels. We told them which pintxos bar in San Sebastián is the real one, not the tourist trap around the corner. We briefed them on every stage before they left, so when they got on the bike, the only thing on their minds was the road ahead.
Day two, they were filming themselves in the middle of the Pyrenees, smiling without saying a word.
That's the moment we work for. Some trips you plan. Some trips you deserve.
You've been thinking about a trip like this for a while now. Maybe longer than you'd admit. And honestly? You deserve to stop thinking about it and actually live it.
This is what Mediterranean Routes was built for: turning the dream of riding Spain into a real, well-organized, unforgettable experience.
🏍️ Self-guided or fully guided. Flexible dates. Tailored to you.
If this is the kind of trip you've been thinking about, drop us a message. We'll take it from there.

RIDERS! We’re still listening to your feedback. 🏍️

Over the last few years, we’ve had the privilege of touring Spain and Portugal with bikers from the US, the UK, Ireland, Germany and other countries. Every single one of them told me the same thing before the trip: “I’ve always wanted to do this. But I didn’t know where to start.”

So we want to ask you directly. If you’re an experienced motorcyclist who’s ever thought about taking a motorbike trip through Spain or Portugal, but haven’t done so yet, I’d love it if you could spare me 15 minutes of your time.

I’ve put together a short survey (10 questions). There’s no sales pitch at the end. There won’t be any unsolicited follow-up calls. Just a sincere conversation driven by a passion for travel and motorcycling, and perhaps the start of something worth getting on your bike for.

If Spain is still on your list, now is a good time to tell me why.

Help us build the motorcycle journey you actually want to take This is not a sales questionnaire. We genuinely want to understand what you're looking for in a motorcycle trip through Spain or Portugal — so we can build experiences worth doing. 10 questions, around 15 minutes.
