Many times the pleasure of traveling lies in the fact of traveling. Thanks to the varied Spanish terrain, enjoying the journey by road is a pleasure. From North to South and from East to West, they are infinite the incredible places that flood the corners of our country, and more if we enjoy them on board our motorcycle. From Mapfre We take care of your MOTORCYCLE we recommend caution when making routes on winding roads since visibility is reduced.
–GC-200: The road with 365 curves (Gran Canaria): The winding road for every day of the year. The section of the GC-200 road that connects Agaete and La Aldea de San Nicolás, on the western coast of Gran Canaria, is one of the riskiest in Spain. Until 1970, this path that bordered the perimeter of the island had no protective fences. The beautiful road has two fronts on the sea, with cliffs that range between 200 and 900 meters high and curves with little visibility. For this reason, at the end of 2022, the completion of the Faneque double tunnel is scheduled. An alternative to passing through the cliff of the GC-200, which you can enjoy a lot on a motorcycle.
–A-1702: Silent Road (Teruel): The Route of Silence is located in the counties of Maestrazgo and Andorra – Sierra de Arcos. A 63-kilometre road, a paradise for bikers, that invites slow driving. Many curves, hardly any traffic and dreamlike views. It crosses the most indomitable landscapes, such as the Órganos de Montoro, the Ejuvine moors, the port of Cuarto Pelado or the Straits of Guadalope.

–TF-21: Highway from Orotava to Granadilla (Tenerife): The Tenerife highway starts from the TF-271, in Cuesta de la Villa and ends in the TF-28 in Granadilla. With a length of 82.9 km and a maximum altitude of 2,366 metres, the TF-21 is one of the routes that offers the greatest variety of landscapes such as the Teide National Park, the Corona Forestal Natural Park or the Natural Monument of the Red Mountain. The road enters the hillside of Santa Úrsula in the Orotava Valley, where the Humboldt Viewpoint is located where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the valley with the Municipality of Los Realejos, Puerto de la Cruz on the coast and La Orotava at the foot of the lookout.
–MA-2101: Sa Calobra Road (Palma de Mallorca): The MA-10 regional road starts off a spectacular regional road, considered one of the most difficult in Spain. It is the MA-2141, known as the Sa Calobra road. The MA-2141 road, on the island of Palma de Mallorca, with only 14 kilometers of travel, is full of closed and connected curves, on sheer cliffs. Special care must be taken since the road that descends to Sa Calobra beach is narrow, with no central line, few guard rails and cyclist traffic. Before reaching the destination, it scars the abrupt landscape of the north of the island through 12 curves of one hundred and eighty degrees and one of three hundred and sixty, known as the knot of the tie.
–A-395: The highest road (Sierra Nevada): In Sierra Nevada, specifically on the road that leads to Pico Veleta, it reaches 3,300 meters in height. Thus becoming the highest road in Spain and the paved road that reaches the highest in Europe. Although it can be traveled without problems, due to its height, the last kilometers to Pico Veleta can only be covered if you have a special permit granted by the Sierra Nevada Natural Park authorities.
–DP-2205: The best cliffs (Galicia): This route skirts the cliffs of Herbeira, on the coast of A Coruña, reaching 613 meters above sea level. The route along this road full of curves and straights will take you to the San Andrés de Reixido sanctuary, also known as San Andrés Cabo do Mundo. As the legend says, on September 8 and November 30 you have to make a pilgrimage to the sanctuary “A San Andrés de Teixido vai de morto quen non foi de vivo”. Whoever does not visit San Andrés in life will do so dead, turned into a lizard, they say.
–M-601: Ball of the world (Madrid): In the Sierra de Guadarrama is the Bola del Mundo, the westernmost mountain of the Cuerda Larga mountain range. The M-601 road starts at Collado Villalba to Puerto de Navacerrada at an altitude of more than 2,250 metres. Before being known as the Ball of the World, it was called Alto de las Guarramillas. The characteristic towers found on the mountain were erected in 1959 to broadcast TVE on the central plateau. Following the analog blackout in 2010, it is only used for radio.
