About this trip

There's one small region  that produces more MotoGP riders and Champions than any other, Catalunya. Leod Escapes has enlisted the help of local enthusiasts to show you the roads, the cantinas, the views, the food, and most importantly the curves that make this an ideal place to be a rider. We've taken our tradition of authenticity and gone full throttle here so get ready for some surprises. You stay in resort towns where locals riders go to escape the busy streets of Barcelona. You ride the same mountain and coastal roads local racers have ridden for generations. You'll feast on local meat and drink local Cava and Vi Negre wine. Your hotels will grace your eyes with views of the mountains, the sea and an amazing circuit. Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is our favorite track in Spain and you've got three days to learn what locals call "Montmeló". Enjoy the precise feel of a new BMW S1000RR on the track, and as usual, upgrades to slicks and warmers are available. Our guides are local riders and have packed this tour with the best roads, food, views and everything else riders love so you will understand the core of what it means to be a Catalan rider.

Itinerary

Day 1
Welcome to Montmeló

If you've taken our advice you've already arrived early and spent a few days in Barcelona, our favorite city in Spain. It's vibrant and with loads to see and do but now, it's time to get started. We'll come pick you up from your hotel in Barcelona or if you're running it tight we'll, ee might be able to pick you up from there to it just depends on everyone's schedule. Starting around 3pm we'll start doing rental bike check in and pick up so we can have all the bikes assembled in front of the hotel ready to go tomorrow. We'll do an initial briefing there at the hotel and then we've got a real treat for you. We are taking you somewhere every MotoGP fan should see but for some reason, only locals know about it and they have great food.

Great trip with great people. Hotels were excellent and everything went smooth

I had a great time on the Core of Catalunya tour. The owner of Leod Escapes, Cat, was with us the whole way through, helping to facilitate and guide. He helped make sure we were informed of important details and that everyone was making it safely to the destinations. A big bonus of this tour was having Michael “HeyNow” Henao from Yamaha Champions Riding School on the tour. He’s not only a great guy, he brought the insights of a YCRS instructor to help us improve our riding while on the tour. We also had a wonderful local guide, David, with a deep and personal connection to Catalunya, riding, and racing. David brought us on the most amazing twisties I’ve ever ridden. He also shared stories of riding and racing that gave me an unforgettable appreciation for what this place represents in the world of motorcycles. The food was exceptional. We ate at some hidden gems throughout the region that would’ve been near impossible to find without someone familiar with the area. All of the hotel stays were also very exclusive. We stayed in beautiful locations only locals usually know about, far from tourist-heavy areas. This also allowed us to see amazing parts of Spain I didn’t even know existed. To top it off, we ended the tour with 3 days of riding on the Catalunya MotoGP circuit with Racing School Europe. That was incredible. Speechless. Overall, this was a life-changing tour, my riding has improved drastically, and I can’t wait to do the next one with Leod Escapes!

Our recent tour through Spain was my 2nd experience with Leod Escapes. The group dynamic was again exceptional, fostering a sense of camaraderie that made the journey more enjoyable. Our guide, David, was not only a skilled rider but also an effective communicator, ensuring the entire group's safety while keeping the pace up. We also had Michael from YCRS help build on the foundations learned at Champschool, which made me feel like an accomplished canyon rider by the time we ended the trip. The meticulously planned routes perfectly blended challenging twisty roads and spectacular landscapes--every mile was an adventure. Our time at Cataluyna, in particular, was a highlight, pushing my riding abilities to new limits and providing an unforgettable 3-day track experience. (Be prepared to buy an additional set of slicks!) The accommodations were comfortable and the food was delicious, offering a well-deserved rest after a day of riding. However, incorporating more free time in the late afternoons would allow riders to explore local towns and immerse themselves in the area at their own pace. If you're a motorcyclist seeking an unforgettable adventure, I highly recommend this tour. It's the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself, explore a beautiful country, and connect with like-minded individuals.

There are no words that could properly encompass this trip. To say it was a surreal, and absolutely indescribable experience would be an understatement. I knew it would be epic, the trip most dream of, but it completely exceeded every expectation. Could not POSSIBLY have imagined it better. Blown away. Thank you Leod Escapes, Cat and Nancy.
