About Me About the Area
I am a keen and experienced motorcyclist. Since
buying my first bike I’ve covered an estimated
400,000 miles on foreign soil. In the several years
I’ve been here I’ve done about 50,000 miles, mostly
with Belén on the back, throughout the greater part
of the Iberian peninsula. I spent most of my
employed life as a lorry driver – both national and
international; the international part being
predominantly in France and Spain. For these
reasons, not only do I know my way around but I
know about travelling on 2, 4 or 18 wheels. I love it!
Road travel is not just a journey from A to B. It’s
about the people you meet, the things you see, the
things that occur and the culture and foods you
could encounter. It’s fun! However if you have a
finite time to do it in, it’s best to travel with
someone who knows. That’s Sierra Alma Touring. Salamanca is situated about halfway between
Madrid and the Portuguese border in the south
western corner of Castilla y León. It is home to,
arguably, the oldest university in Europe – take it up
with the Pope! It’s a very small city by UK standards
and we would describe it as a large town. It’s a
popular tourist destination for people from around
the world and has a usual population of
considerably less than Swindon. This is augmented
by the tourists and the students who are here in
term time. The entertainment in the city is diverse
and we defy anyone of any age to be bored here. If
you choose to spend your Spanish touring
overnighters in the country you are clearly a book
worm or possibly even mute!
