Off The Grid: Cabo de Gata
Pure motorcycle adventure
This is what awaits 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 – which means there is a high probability of snow during the winter! The highlights are numerous: starting from awesome river beds that challenge your off-road riding skills, beautiful landscapes showing the snow-covered Sierra Nevada mountain range, 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 opportunity to explore the area on a GS! After the first training day at the Enduropark, our partner’s instructors take you on your select off-road tour.
Certified BMW Motorrad Instructors
All the instructors at the Enduropark Andalusia are certified BMW Motorrad 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 for off-road riding techniques and gives them the ability to offer tips and tricks that only extensive experience in off-road riding can provide.
