🇮🇹 🇨🇭 Last week, we launched a new Alps tour. The goal was simple: to get Magellan riders up and onto the best mountain passes in Europe in the shortest time possible. Based on the immediate response from you guys, we think we’ve nailed it!

Over eight incredible days of riding and a strict aversion to straight roads, you’ll ride the mountain passes from your favourite Bond films, devour Swiss chocolate, and relax on the shores of the incredible Italian lakes.

Bookings have been coming in thick and fast, so it’s best to call us this week if you’d like to be on our inaugural tour this September!

🚨 Our Spain and Northern Portugal tours can now all start from our new rental facility in Madrid! This saves you the ferry trip from the UK, and you’ll meet up with the tour group on the first night. 🚨

If you’ve never been to the Iberian Peninsula, you’re in for one hell of a ride. Mountain ranges like the Pyrenees and Picos de Europa, national parks like Serra da Estrela and the Sierra Nevada, some of Europe's finest hotels and restaurants, and mile upon mile of empty roads await.

⛰️ High in Romania’s Carpathian Mountains, the Transalpina snakes its way through misty peaks and alpine meadows, earning its place as one of Europe’s most breathtaking roads and one of our all-time favourites.

Originally a shepherd’s trail, later modernized under King Carol II and used by German forces in WWII, the Transalpina carries centuries of history in its bends. Today, it’s a playground for us, with endless switchbacks and panoramic views, and at 2,145 meters, this winding ribbon of asphalt is the highest paved road in the country.

It’s just one of the highlights of our 21-day Romania tour. Our next departure on July 5th is down to the last spot. Give us a call this week to secure it!

🏔️ This week's newsletter marked the launch of our latest Alps tour—our fastest route yet to the greatest mountain passes in Europe!

If you could design a city purely for weekend motorcycle adventures, Milan would be hard to beat. Nestled at the crossroads of the Italian, Swiss, and Austrian Alps, with the stunning Italian lakes just beyond, it’s the perfect gateway to some of the most breathtaking riding on the continent. 🏍️

This eight-day itinerary is jam-packed full of passes from the Bond films, incredible alpine views and food, and even some time to relax in the stunning setting of Lake Garda.

For those craving high-octane riding and a taste of Europe’s rich culture, this is the trip that delivers it all.

🇮🇹 🇫🇷 Sardinia and Corsica remain two of motorcycling’s best-kept secrets. Rising dramatically from the postcard-perfect Mediterranean, these islands offer some of the finest twisty roads in Central Europe. And when the riding ends, you’ll find yourself on shores renowned for their cuisine, architecture, and effortlessly laid-back way of life.

On Magellan’s 16-day tour, you’ll carve through the most stunning national parks of mainland France before crossing into island life—where both French and Italian cultures mix against a backdrop of azure coastlines, stone-walled medieval towns, and rugged mountain passes.

Join Magellan’s Mark Brazier on 14th May as we set off on the ultimate European road trip–three spots remaining!

LAST SPACE 🚨

Whether you’ve never hit the trails, or you’d consider yourself a veteran in the mud, there are always new skills to practice or techniques to perfect. This March (departing on 22nd), join a group of fellow Magellanites as we head back to the world-famous trails of Andalusia to learn from those who organise the BMW GS Trophy.

We’ve got just one room remaining, so don’t wait on this one! 📞

We’ve got news! 📰

Looking to ride through Spain and Portugal this year? You can now pick up your rental bike and start your journey from Madrid! 🇪🇸 🇵🇹

If you’re flying in from abroad, this is the perfect landing point. Stroll through the grand halls of the Royal Palace, lose yourself in the masterpieces of the Prado, or soak up the energy of Plaza Mayor. As the sun sets, sip wine and savour tapas in a lively plaza before hitting the road.

Just speak to a tour specialist, and they’ll take care of everything for you. We can even add extra nights at the start or end of your tour if you’d like to spend more time in the Spanish capital!

❤️‍🔥 Some couples do dinner dates, others ride into the sunset together–you can probably figure out which of these we are! In our humble opinion, there’s nothing more romantic than a winding mountain pass in the Swiss Alps, or riding Corsica’s cols before dining out on fresh seafood over a Mediterranean sunset.

So why not give the gift of adventure this week? Below is a link to our tour calendar, where you’ll find our full schedule for this year. But you can, of course, speak to our tour specialists, who’ll help you find the perfect match for the loved one in your life!

We’ll see you on the road soon!

Final call for a week of luxury in Andalusia! We’re just a month away from returning to the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in and riding through one of our favourite regions in the springtime sunshine. ☀️

From the dramatic silhouette of Gibraltar’s Rock to the breathtaking vistas of Ronda, perched precariously above its iconic gorge, this journey is a feast for the senses. Wander the storied halls of Granada’s Alhambra Palace, where Moorish artistry meets Spanish grandeur, and lose yourself in the otherworldly landscapes of El Torcal’s limestone escarpments. ⛰️

We depart on March 15th, and there are two rooms remaining. Will one of them be yours?

There’s something undeniably thrilling about crossing a border—the subtle shift in language, culture, and landscape that whispers, “You’ve arrived somewhere new.” But in the Pyrenees, the experience is anything but subtle. This mountain range, straddling the border between France and Spain, doesn’t just welcome you—it announces your arrival with a flourish of soaring peaks, winding roads, and eagles that soar alongside the roads as you ride. 🦅

Over 12 days, our Pyrenees Explorer tour follows this incredible range all the way west to Andorra and back, blending French and Spanish culture and carving through the best roads the region has to offer.

Next departures are in June and September! 📆

From the volcanic landscapes around Teide to the ancient forests of La Gomera, the many shared meals, and the fiery sunsets, they’ve done a fantastic job at showcasing what makes these islands so special. Jealousy-inducing stuff!

Last chance for Norway and Sweden in 2025! 🚨

🇳🇴 🇸🇪 Scandinavia is as bucket-list as they get for motorcycle destinations. It’s one of our favourite times every year, as the pictures of cascading waterfalls and imposing gorges fill our email inboxes and social media feeds.

Our two August tours are now fully booked, but there are still two places remaining on the July departure.

🇫🇷 Never been to France? Prepare to immerse yourself in a cultural landscape shaped by centuries of art, history, and cuisine, underpinned by an unyielding joie de vivre that has inspired travellers and motorcyclists alike.

What makes France truly extraordinary is its diversity. In the flower-strewn hills of the Cévennes, time feels like it has stood still, with winding roads leading to ancient villages tucked into valleys. On the legendary Route Napoléon, thrilling curves are set against the dramatic backdrop of alpine peaks. The Dordogne’s rolling green valleys invite quiet exploration, their riverbanks dotted with medieval castles, while the vast gorges of the south – wild, untamed, and humbling – offer some of the most awe-inspiring views in Europe. ⛰️

The French have perfected the balance between grandeur and simplicity. It’s a place where you can savour the small joy of a perfectly brewed espresso on a sunlit terrace and, just hours later, marvel at the engineering feat of the Millau Viaduct, the world’s tallest bridge, or gaze into the shimmering depths of the Verdon Gorge, Europe’s answer to the Grand Canyon.

Our Grand Tour of France, with a week spent on the Mediterranean islands of Sardinia and Corsica, departs this May. There are only two rooms remaining on this tour–will one of them be yours? 📅

The Magellan riding season is officially underway! If you’ve been keeping a keen eye on our Magellan Riders group, you’ll have seen the stunning photos coming through from our first tour of the year. Winding roads cutting through volcanic landscapes, whales breaching in the deep Atlantic, rainbows draped over cloud inversions, and sunsets lighting the sky in fiery hues. Factor in one of the world’s tallest volcanoes, the ancient forests of La Gomera, and the legendary Road of a Thousand Bends, and it’s undeniable—nowhere does dry January quite like the Canary Islands. ☀️

If you’ve been weathering the storms at home, why not make next January the year when you get in the saddle early and chase the sunshine! Our Canaries tour for 2026 is already filling up, we hope to see you there! 🕶️

🇮🇪 Perched on the edge of the Atlantic, Ireland is a nation of resilience—a land shaped by roaring winds, crashing waves, and centuries of history. Its rugged clifftops, the guardians of a nation that has weathered Viking raids, Norman invasions, and the trials of famine, only to emerge stronger and more soulful.

It’s immediately apparent when you ride here that the culture runs deep, and the island’s people—renowned for their generosity, wit, and indomitable spirit—are the beating heart of it all. Over two weeks, our Guided Ireland tour takes you on a loop around its very best national parks and cultural sights, from the cosy and weathered pubs on the wild Atlantic Way, all the way south to the renowned Ring of Kerry.

📆Next departure is in July, our August tour is now full!
