Es Despertar has affiliated itself to the Ara Lleida Moturisme project as a way of catering to motorcycle tourists and giving them a tailor-made experience and promoting the region by offering specific motorcycle routes.
The Ara Lleida Moturisme project is a pioneering tourism initiative within Spain, launched by the Tourism Board of the Lleida Regional Council to attract motorcycle tourism to the region.
The property offers all the basic features required to welcome motorcycle tourists.
-It has a 90 m2 closed garage, which can comfortably accommodate up to 12 motorbikes and which is equipped with a work bench and all the tools you might need for fixing different kinds of vehicles, as well as special cleaning products.
-The house has a special area with hooks and a table for storing jackets and motorcycle helmets, which is directly accessible from the street without having to walk through the main entrance.
-We offer two especially designed motorbike routes that take you across several different parts of Lleida, Tarragona and Barcelona, starting from Es Despertar. We also offer all the routes set out in the Ara Lleida Moturisme project and can offer in-depth explanations about the routes around the plains of Lleida.
-We can offer specific information about motorbike maintenance services: motorbike repair shops, filling stations, spare parts suppliers, etc.
163 km route through the interior of Catalonia
At Es Despertar, we are pleased to recommend this 163 km tour of the skylines of the counties of Urgell, Segarra, Anoia and Conca de Barberà. Visit at any time of the year and you will be amazed at this part of Catalonia, with its hills and plains. You will marvel at the different colours marking the changing seasons as the crops in the fields grow throughout the year, abounding with cereal, almond trees, olive trees, rapeseed, vines and even some wooded areas of pines and holm oaks. An exciting journey through the quiet backroads of the counties will introduce you to unmissable colours and smells. Stop to rest at any of the viewpoints you find along the way and you will have the chance to admire the incredible inland countryside. Take the opportunity to recharge your batteries and feel a special connection with nature as you soak up the countryside lifestyle, which is still alive and well here. Add to that a great meal at one of the many restaurants that line the route. We can recommend friendly establishments in small charming villages, such as Sant Ramon or Santa Coloma de Queralt.
We hope you like it and have an amazing time!

Here is a detailed description of the route, along with our personal recommendations:
SEA AND MOUNTAIN
223 km route full of contrasts.
This 223 km route is called Sea and Mountain because you will descend from 487 m in Es Despertar to sea level, going up again to reach 1000 m in the Prades mountains. As you travel along this winding path you will enjoy the Cistercian Route with all its wineries, as well as the gastronomy of the interior and the coast. You will take in different types of landscape, starting with dry areas and driving through woodland, until you reach the streets of the city of Tarragona, along a part of the Costa Dorada. In Cambrils you will be able to enjoy a delicious rice dish at Restaurant Miquel on Avinguda de la Diputació. As you near the peak of Prades you will delight in the magnificent views and impossible bends and, once at the top, you will find a picturesque village with great restaurants, serving Catalan homestyle cooking. You will also have the opportunity to visit some interesting historical and cultural sights: the quintessential medieval town of Montblanc; the Monastery of Santes Creus, Poblet, Vallbona de les Monges, one of the few monasteries where monks continue to live, in this case those of the Cistercian order. This is a round trip with varied scenery and a wealth of cultural and gastronomic delights.
