Buen día, my fellow travelers!
It is that time of the year when everything slows down here in Spain, and with the July heat, we slow down as well. The days are lazy and thick with the scent of jasmine and hot Andalusian winds. In just a few days, the entire Hispania Tours team will go on a well-deserved vacation. I truly wish you all a beautiful summer!
We've had an amazing season. It wasn't the easiest one in Hispania Tours memory, but it was one of the most meaningful in our 21 years history. After losing our headquarters and over two third of our fleet to a devastating fire back in November, we put an incredible amount of effort into continuing to deliver outstanding quality motorcycle tours. We managed the limitations and inconveniences of our temporary HQ, added 35 new vehicles to our fleet, have been navigating the complexities of an insurance claim, and grew our talented and enthusiastic team of guides and office staff.
Speaking of challenges: the fire was a big shock for us. It wasn't what we expected in our first fully booked year after the stillness of the Corona years. It took hope, courage, positivity, and resourcefulness to continue our mission of putting smiles on your faces. There was one more crucial ingredient to overcoming the crisis: your support. I haven't yet thanked you for your numerous emails, texts, messages of encouragement and even offers of help. I was touched and humbled by your warmth and support from all corners of the world. THANK YOU, amigos!
Today, I am not writing this letter to complain about the hardships. Quite the opposite – I am finishing this season with a feeling of celebration and gratitude. We are blessed to be doing what we love, and we must be doing it well because year after year I keep seeing your familiar faces, returning for more adventures and happy to ride, enjoy and live! This season was not an exception: over 500 travelers have cruised with us this spring, many of whom are our old friends.
Together we have ridden thousands of kilometers in every direction and enjoyed it all, while Morocco remained your top favorite destination yet again. This makes us extremely happy and proves that our impeccable knowledge of this country, with 21 years of touring experience, brings a unique blend of authenticity, comfort, and adventure.

After all, your vacation time is too precious to do anything other than what you enjoy the most!
As for myself, I plan to enjoy my vacation in my favorite manner – on my Motorrad! It's time to explore new terrains, test new pillows, taste every test-worthy tapa, gather inspiration, and soon release new exciting routes that I have been dreaming of adding to our already outstanding portfolio. The show must always go on!
With this, I wish you a very happy summer and looking forward to seeing you with us on the roads!
Much love, Johannes & the Hispania Tours team
