All the explanations with personalised attention so that everyone can enjoy them.

We are going to enjoy a practical, unique and memorable activity. For 1 hour we are going to enjoy a talk about his work, both graphic and on walls. To finish we can practice signatures and strokes with the artist, both with markers and with spray cans on a board.

Departure from the route.
Departure from the route, seeking the West exit of the city through the CV-35, will take you to Llíria via a simple highway that will facilitate the riders' first contact with the motorcycle. Upon reaching Llíria, we will take the detour towards Alcublas, where the newly asphalted road winds through various cultivated fields, leading to the first ascent of the mountain pass that will take us to one of the towns most associated with the motorcycling world in Valencia. At the exit of Alcublas, we will stop at the restored windmills, a charming glimpse into the region’s agricultural history. These historical landmarks offer a unique insight into traditional Valencian life and are set in a picturesque natural setting. We will continue the route towards Segorbe, taking roads that lead us into the western part of the Sierra Calderona Natural Park. The arrival at Cueva Santa and the descent to Segorbe are among the most enjoyable stretches in terms of motorcycle riding, as you will delight in taking curves of all kinds surrounded by the park's natural scenery. After regrouping at the roundabout at the entrance to Altura, we will continue crossing the city of Segorbe until we reach the detour towards Castellnovo via the CV-200. This more open road will gradually lead us into the Sierra de Espadán Natural Park until we reach Ahín, where, immersed in nature, we will arrive at our first destination: Eslida. The Bar Paquita in Eslida is undoubtedly one of the most beloved and valued classics by both motorcyclists and cyclists from Valencia and its surroundings. The good work of Mrs. Paquita, who combines her natural friendliness with a variety of breakfasts that have delighted generations (the bar was inaugurated in 1975), is joined by the incredible and equally famous "Cremaet," whose recipe was developed by her husband Rafael a simply heavenly closure to what will surely be a sandwich to remember and a more than pleasant time surrounded by a unique atmosphere. Currently, their children Rafa and Vicent run the bar with the same philosophy of service and friendliness, with whom we will take a photo for the memory.

Discovering the second capital of the Costa Blanca with its two World Heritage Sites is an essential part of a visit to these lands. The largest palm grove in Europe has marked the evolution of an ancient city like few others, where up to 7 civilisations have passed through history. The remains of the medina and its imposing basilica form part of a medieval image that has little to do with the modern city immersed in the footwear industry.
A visit to one of these factories and the possibility of buying shoes at a good price is an incentive on this excursion. Returning towards the coast we will approach Santa Pola, once the portus Ilicitanus of the Romans and nowadays a resting place for thousands of holidaymakers. Las Salinas, the flamingos, the cap de l'aljub, the island of Tabarca are part of the usual panoramic view of this fishing village.
