RouteXpert Review
This route travels inland from the Mediterranean coast and heads northwards towards the Pyrenees avoiding the busy coastal routes and major highways. The countryside and scenery is typically Mediterranean, with vineyards, olive groves and scrub land. After 30 minutes you will be in the open countryside with long distance views of small mountain ranges ahead, and when you pass these, there is another range, and another and another. The road surface is very good and there are some fast sweeping bends that will put a smile on any motorcyclists face. I have suggested a fuel and lunch stop at El Pontón RP 11. The La Brassa restaurant is next door to the gas station and they welcome motorcyclists.
After lunch the route takes a smaller road and heads towards the magnificent Benagéber reservoir at RP 14. The road is very twisty and has several hairpin bends. There is an opportunity to take pictures on the dam and anyone with a loud exhaust will appreciate the tunnel! This enormous reservoir is fed by the Rio Turia which we will meet up with again at RP 17 when we cross over it on a high bridge and follow its path, with more hairpins all the way to the hotel at Teruel.
The Hotel Isabel de Segura has 3*** is very comfortable and has secure parking. See the link below.
I have awarded this route 3 stars *** as the roads, scenery and attractions are all good.
