IMTBIKE Celebrates New Bilbao Location and Ninth Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award

June 24, 2026

We’re excited to share two major milestones for IMTBIKE! The opening of our new Bilbao rental and tour center, and our recognition as a Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award winner for the ninth consecutive year.  

It’s hard to put into words what these achievements mean to our team—especially as we approach our 30-year anniversary of being in business. But at a minimum, we hope they reflect our ongoing commitment to providing unforgettable motorcycle adventure tours through Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and beyond. 

Discover Northern Spain from our new Bilbao location 

Our newest rental and tour center in Bilbao serves as the perfect gateway to the Basque Country, the Green Coast, the Picos de Europa, and more. In our opinion, these are some of Europe’s best motorcycle roads—and we can’t wait to share them with you! 

Unlike the sun-soaked landscapes of southern Spain, northern Spain offers lush mountains, dramatic coastlines, winding roads, and charming villages that feel worlds away from the typical tourist trail. 

Whether you’re planning a self-guided tour, a guided motorcycle adventure, or a BMW motorcycle rental for independent exploration, Bilbao opens up exciting new possibilities that we know our riders will love. The region has become one of Europe’s hidden gems for motorcycle travel thanks to: 

  • Scenic mountain roads with minimal traffic 
  • Spectacular Atlantic coastline views 
  • World-class cuisine and vibrant local culture 
  • Mild summer temperatures ideal for riding 

From coastal roads overlooking the Bay of Biscay to mountain passes winding through green valleys, northern Spain offers a completely different side of Europe just waiting to be explored. 
 
And because the new center is conveniently located next to the international Bilbao Airport, we made sure that our new center has much more capacity for riders that want to store a motorcycle in Europe. With a fleet of over 250 BMW motorcycles, you can trust that the IMTBIKE team will care for your motorcycle with the same passion and dedication we use for our own.  

Recognized by travelers worldwide 

In addition to our expansion into Bilbao, we’re honored to have received Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award for a ninth consecutive year

This recognition is especially meaningful to us because it is based on reviews and feedback from our riders. Every motorcycle tour, BMW rental, and guide recommendations contributes to the experiences that travelers share with the world. 

We’re incredibly grateful to the thousands of riders who have trusted IMTBIKE to help create some of their most memorable journeys. 

Thank you to our riders 

As IMTBIKE approaches 30 years of creating BMW motorcycle tours and adventures, we’re proud of how far we’ve come, and excited about where we’re headed next. 

Whether you’ve joined us on a guided tour, explored Europe on one of our BMW motorcycle rentals, or are planning your first motorcycle trip abroad, we thank you for being part of our IMTBIKE family. 

We look forward to welcoming riders to our new Bilbao location and helping create even more unforgettable adventures in the years ahead!
