Motorcycle routes in Extremadura 🇪🇸

3 routes available

Extremadura is Spain's least known and best kept region for riders. The Jerte Valley with its cherry blossom, Monfragüe National Park with its vultures, UNESCO-listed Cáceres, Trujillo of the conquistadors, Buñuel's Las Hurdes and the Sierra de Gata make up a territory whose authenticity and sheer emptiness have no rival in Western Europe.

Empty roads, well surfaced on the main axes and technical in the sierras. Very little traffic. Cheap fuel. Extreme heat on the plains in summer, cool in the mountains. Best seasons: spring, for the cherry blossom, and autumn.
