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.
I’ve had the curiosity, luck and deep interest to visit over fifty countries and to absorb some of the most remote, adventurous and breathtaking corners of the world, driven by a genuine passion for discovering people, culture and place — usually travelling solo, as I believe that is how new places are best discovered.
That sparked a wish to explore — on my own terms — Andalusia, the land where I was born and raised, taking in the beauty of its country roads, villages and people on my precious Bonnie T100, my companion for the past eleven years.
Professionally, I spent almost thirty years production managing international TV commercial shoots across Europe and the Americas for leading global brands and renowned production companies, working with celebrated figures from around the world in film, sport, fashion and the arts. That environment taught discipline, risk awareness and high standards of client care.
Cinematic Retro Rides is where those experiences meet motorcycling: film craft on two wheels, expressed through meticulous preparation, considered pacing and clear, bilingual communication.
I have a trained eye for locations, well‑honed logistics and arrangements, and a charismatic, attentive client‑service style.
If you’re keen to discover authentic Andalusia and the experiences it offers on one of my current‑generation Triumph Bonneville T100s, then it’s a match.
Allow me to surprise you; you can then decide for yourself.
