My son Tim and I have 'done' the Picos three years in succession. Admittedly some of the finest motorcycling experiences in all of Europe:- fab roads and scenery, not a lot of traffic, and cheap grub / overnights.
But for this Autumn, Tim wants a change. He became fed up with Brittany Ferries constantly bad timekeeping, leaving him waiting hours unnecessarily among other sweltering bikers on the dockside on each and every trip, apart from the horrendous charges they ask.
So instead, for this year's week-long holiday here in Spain he wants to fly to Málaga on the Costa del Sol, so that I can ride the 450km from my home here in Almería Province and meet up with him at a Bike Rental place and ride back here with him via the spectacular Sierra Nevada and Alpujarras Mountains routes that I've enjoyed riding along with my Spanish biking pals for several years past.
None of them can recommend a reliable and fair BMW bike rental outfit near Málaga Airport. Can anybody on here ?
I'm tempted to put him on to the English couple by the name of Corner in Málaga who do airport transfers and also offer a wide range of Beemers. But i don't know whether they're kushtie or not.
There are lots of other bike rental outfits in the airport area, but who knows whether the vehicles they offer are safe and well looked-after - and who don't rip your arm off with their suddenly-raised rental charges and hidden insurance extras ?
Once they've got your paid-up-front 50% loot and you're standing there in front of them with your helmet, gloves, boots and protective kit in a big plastic bag, along with your overnight suitcase, as you swelter away in the Costa del Crime heat, they've got you for sure, haven't they ?
I know what the Spans are like - I live and breathe amongst them eleven months of the year....
