About this experience
A ride made by bikers, for bikers.
We roll out from Marina del Este and cruise the old N-340 to Maro, skirting the Maro–Cerro Gordo cliffs—flowing bends, cracking viewpoints over the Med, and smooth tarmac that’s tailor-made for a BMW GS. From the coast we climb to the whitewashed gems of Frigiliana, Torrox and Cómpeta, linking class mountain roads before dropping down via Caleta de Vélez and Mezquitilla, then following the national road back to the harbour. It’s a proper blend of sea and sierras, culture and easygoing riding, with unhurried stops for photos and a good brew in spots with real character.
BMW GS: comfy, planted and responsive in every bend.
Local rider-guide: pace that suits you and the best “locals’” roads.
Signature loop: epic coastline plus Axarquía’s white villages in one go.
Thoughtful stops: viewpoints, photo ops and proper coffee—no clock-watching.
Safety-first: pre-ride briefing, essential kit and clear comms on the road.
