SCOOT IN THE SUN

Riding all-year round is a scooterist's dream. Thankfully, Costa Blanca Scootering can turn that dream into a reality.

Established 18 months ago in San Miguel, just outside Torrevieja on Spain's Costa Blanca, CBS has already formed a loyal band of customers. “With easy access from Alicante and Murcia airports we're ideally placed for long or short breaks both summer or winter,” said founder Malcolm Bell. In addition to offering a selection of Scomadi and Royal Alloys for hire, CBS is also able to create a bespoke package depending on individual needs. “We can provide anything from a day's rental to a fully guided tour.”

With a lifelong passion for scooters and a network of local contacts, Malcolm has already mapped out recommended routes and can also advise on the best available accommodation. “There's a surprisingly vibrant scooter scene here,” he added. “I'd recommend joining us on a Sunday morning when both local and expat enthusiasts meet for a coffee and ride out.” For the past two years this group of enthusiasts has organised a ride out with a difference. “This year we took 11 scooters on the ferry to Ibiza,” laughed Malcolm. “It was quite a trip and very different to the Isle of Wight Red Funnel!”

Based within easy reach of both Alicante and Murcia airports, CBS is served by numerous flights from across the UK. With both mountains and coast roads on hand the area is ideal scooter country, whether it's fast-paced night life or gentle ride outs to a country bodega, the Costa Blanca has it all. Thanks to CBS, it's now all accessible by scooter. Book early.
