Cinematic Retro Rides is a boutique touring company based in Mijas (Málaga) that crafts cinematic, story‑driven retro motorcycle tours through inland Andalusia — from single‑day rides to multi‑day journeys.

With small groups, the days run at a steady pace, with time for coffee stops and curated experiences that bring authentic local culture, food and heritage into the ride. Iconic, current‑generation Triumph Bonneville T100 motorcycles pair timeless lines with modern reliability, and a clear safety briefing sets a calm, confident tone. The aim is simple: refined, well‑paced touring with a cinematic feel — delivered with taste, authenticity and distinction.
Ride with 3–6 riders for a calm, safe and personal touring pace.
Hand-picked Andalusian routes with authentic stops woven into the journey.

Cinematic Retro Rides curates hand-picked, small-group Experiences that reveal what Andalusia is truly made of: family-run vineyards with guided tastings, characterful olive mills producing exceptional extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), heritage walkabouts through white-village lanes. Expect encounters with master luthiers crafting classic Spanish guitars, insights into equestrian culture and historic bull-ranch traditions, sensory tastings of Iberian produce, breathtaking bird’s-eye view of the vast Andalusian landscapes from a hot-air ballon, visits to traditional artisan workshops, unhurried mouth-watering lunches and dinners in places full of character.
Along the way and always escorted by your fully bilingual EN–SP guide with an eye for detail, you’ll weave in local festivals, market stops, flamenco moments, characterful coffee breaks and magnificent back scenic roads and viewpoints. Thoughtful, authentic, tastefully paced.
Every touchpoint is vetted for authenticity, hosted by genuine people and timed to the season so every experience feels immersive, refined and unmistakably Andalusian.

Plan your escape on two wheels and experience Andalusia from the seat of a modern classic.
Whether you’re chasing mountain roads, hidden villages or slow cinematic sunsets, our Triumph Bonneville T100s were made for the journey.
Choose your dates, send your request and let the next chapter of your story begin.
Motorcycles are current-generation Triumph Bonneville T100s. Elegant, timeless and full of character chosen for their balance, reliability and classic British twin lines, with each unit named after classic film icons. A natural fit for inland Andalusia, they set a calm, well-paced rhythm so the emphasis stays on the ride.
«Known as ‘Bonnie’, Triumph’s Bonneville links the 1956 Salt Flats record era to today’s T100. Classic British twin lines kept current.»
Riding is easier when the essentials are sorted. Props gathers what’s included as standard and the hireable extras if needed. Helmets meet ECE 22.06, intercom keeps the group in touch, and the smartphone mount holds your navigation.
Each ride tells its own story, a slow sequence of light, movement and atmosphere across Andalusia’s inland roads. The Showreel captures those cinematic moments: the curve of a hill road, the stillness of a village morning, the amber glow of evening stops. It’s not about speed or distance, but about rhythm, texture and memory.
«A visual script of authentic Andalusia. Sunlight, pure air and motion framed through the rider’s lens.»
Riding my elder brothers’ Vespino, Mobylette and Montesa 360cc at an early age, then owning my first motorbike at sixteen, marked the start of my life on two wheels. Since then, I’ve stayed close to bikes. From touring under the California sun to exploring Iceland’s wild backroads, most often solo, sometimes in small, private groups.
Travelling has always been in my DNA, perhaps inherited from my British mother and my father from northern Spain, who both travelled widely.

Cinematic Retro Rides is a boutique guided motorcycle touring company offering guided motorcycle tours in Andalusia, based in Mijas, Málaga, created for riders who want to discover inland Andalusia at a measured pace and with a strong sense of place. The focus is on scenic country roads, white villages, mountain landscapes and carefully chosen stops, away from motorways, busy coastal routes, large towns and cities. Tours range from one day to five days and are run in small groups, combining enjoyable riding with the character, culture and atmosphere of southern Spain.
The experience is built around current generation Triumph Bonneville T100 motorcycles, a modern classic that brings together timeless British styling, accessible ergonomics and contemporary reliability. The aim is not to cover the greatest possible distance, but to create a journey with rhythm: flowing roads, natural pauses, good conversation, local encounters and enough time to enjoy where the route leads.
Every tour starts from the Mijas area and heads inland through landscapes chosen for the quality of the riding as much as for what surrounds the road. Routes favour paved country roads with character, linking villages, mountain areas, farmland and quieter corners of Andalusia without relying on motorways or major urban centres.
Each Script is planned to feel composed rather than rushed. Riding days typically cover around 180 to 250 kilometres, depending on the route, season and duration of the tour, with coffee and conversation pauses, photo opportunities and time to enjoy the setting. The result is a touring style that values continuity and atmosphere over simply collecting kilometres.
The motorcycle at the centre of every Script is the current generation Triumph Bonneville T100. Its 900 cc High Torque parallel twin, upright riding position, accessible seat height and smooth power delivery make it particularly well suited to the winding inland roads and measured pace of the tours. Classic lines provide the retro character, while modern engineering brings the reliability expected from a contemporary touring motorcycle.
Standard riding equipment includes an approved full-face helmet, top brand mesh intercom and vibration dampening smartphone mount, together with USB C and USB A charging connections on the handlebar. Multi day tours also include large saddlebags for personal belongings. Additional riding gear can be hired separately when required.
Tours are limited to a maximum of six riders plus the guide. Keeping groups small makes it easier to maintain a calm pace, communicate naturally and stop at places that would lose their character with a larger group. It also allows the guide to understand each rider's comfort level and keep the day flowing without the rigid logistics of high-volume touring.
Guidance is fully bilingual in English and Spanish. From the welcome coffee and safety briefing on day one to the riding stages and daily overviews, the practical side of the journey is handled clearly so riders can concentrate on the road and the experience around it.
Cinematic Retro Rides can add curated Experiences to the riding days for guests who want a deeper connection with Andalusia. Options may include family run vineyards, characterful olive mills, artisan workshops, master luthiers, heritage visits, Iberian produce tastings, equestrian traditions, seasonal festivals and other encounters linked to the places crossed by the route.
Experiences are optional and selected according to the preferences of the booking. Many are hosted by families and small local companies, so availability can depend on the season and local calendars. Details are planned carefully and reconfirmed closer to the tour dates, preserving both authenticity and a degree of tasteful surprise.
The five established Scripts run from the one day "Teaser" through the two day "Commercial", three-day flagship "Short Film", four day "Featurette" and five day "Feature Film". Each duration follows the same touring philosophy while allowing progressively more time to explore inland Andalusia and settle into the rhythm of the journey.
On multi day Scripts, carefully selected four star or equivalent boutique countryside accommodation is included, with a private single room or double room for couples, and breakfast. Meals and curated Experiences remain optional additions, allowing riders to keep the base tour simple or shape it further according to travel style, interests and budget.
Every base tour includes the fully bilingual English and Spanish guide, welcome coffee on day one, the Triumph Bonneville T100, fuel for the whole tour, full insurance with excess and the standard riding equipment provided for the journey. Multi day tours additionally include the overnight accommodation, breakfast and saddlebags described above.
Optional additions include curated Experiences, meals at selected Andalusian restaurants and hireable riding gear. An All-inclusive option is also available for riders who prefer a more comprehensive package. Travel to and from the starting point and personal insurance are not included.
Cinematic Retro Rides is designed for riders who want more than a route from one point to another. The road matters, but so do the pauses, the places, the people and the feeling of travelling through Andalusia without rushing past it. Each Script brings those elements together in a small group format with a modern classic motorcycle, considered planning and enough flexibility for the journey to retain its own character.
