Motorbiking in Andalusia may not be the first thing you think of, but it is a fantastic experience. With its diverse landscapes, beautiful roads and sunny climate, Andalusia is a popular destination for motorbike enthusiasts.

More and more often, we encounter motorcyclists. That is not surprising because the campo, as they call the countryside in Spain, has many beautiful paths and roads to make wonderful motorcycle rides. From Finca Las Nuevas you can also make great motorbike rides and enjoy a wonderful motorbiking holiday.

Trans Euro Trail

A frequently used route for motorbiking is TET. If you had asked us a month ago if we had ever heard of TET, Trans Euro Trail, the answer would be no. But now we see it more and more often. And before we knew it, we’d already ridden a trail of it.

For those who don’t know TET yet; the Trans Euro Trail (TET) is a long-distance off-road trail network stretching across Europe. It is specially designed for adventurous motorcyclists and off-road enthusiasts.

TET consists of a network of interconnected dirt roads, paths and tracks that cross several countries in Europe. It offers motorcyclists the opportunity to explore diverse landscapes, cultures and historical sites during a motorbiking holiday.

The TET was created by a group of motorcycle enthusiasts who wanted to create a challenging and scenic off-road route that could be ridden on lightweight dual-sport motorbikes.

The Trans Euro Trail is divided into several sections, each covering a specific region or country. There is also a route in Andalusia. Motorcyclists can plan to ride a specific part or combine several parts to make longer rides.

The route is expanded every time with new routes. For more info and to download the route, click here

A few weeks ago we ran into a motorcyclist at the Ermita de las Cruces, near Cártama and Álora, which is only two kilometres from our house. He drove a route of the TET and was on his way to Almogía. That was the first time we heard of TET.
