Five days of pure motorcycle adventure in Andalusia
Leave behind paved roads and your daily business and discover Andalusia’s most beautiful off-road trails and tracks.
Off The Grid: Cabo de Gata
This is what is waiting for you
The tour in a nutshell
This special off-road tour is only available twice a year. Why? Because this tour covers everything from sea level to an altitude of 2,160 m – meaning during winter time there is a high probability of snow! The highlights are uncountable: Starting from awesome river beds that challenge our off-road riding skills, beautiful landscapes showing the snow-covered Sierra Nevada mountain ranges, incredible trails through the Desert of Tabernas and of course the amazing beaches of Cabo de Gata.
Limitless Off-Road Riding
Unlike other European countries, Southern Spain still has a lot of off-road trails and tracks to offer and gives you the possibility of exploring the area on a GS! After the first training day at the Enduropark, our instructors take you on your selected off-road tour.
Certified BMW Motorrad IIA Instructors
All the instructors at the Enduropark Andalusia are certified BMW Motorrad IIA Instructors. Many of them are former GS Trophy Marshals and / or have ridden through various parts of the world. Their experience makes them great instructors with a keen eye on off-road riding techniques as well as tips and tricks that only extensive experience in off-road riding can provide.
