This circular route through the central-western part of Lleida goes from the plains up to the foothills of the Pyrenees.
The name Castillos y Motos (Castles and Motorcycles) is due to the fact that during your trip we will have the
chance to visit the Basella and Marc Marquez motorcycle museums and see many castles, some of which we can
visit. We will also pass by the lake of Ivars and Vila-Sana, one of the largest in Catalonia.
