Day Experience · Guided Vespa tour
Discover the Saturday Market of Xaló
Through the Llíber Valley to Xaló, with local stops, the famous Rastro and a varied route home through the countryside.
Through the Llíber Valley we ride quiet back roads towards Xaló, where the well-known Rastro is held on Saturdays: a lively market with antiques, curiosities, clothing, vintage pieces and all kinds of unexpected finds.
When we arrive we park the Vespas at the edge of the village. From there you are free to walk the market yourself, have a drink, or simply take in the atmosphere of Xaló.
After the market we get back on the Vespas. We deliberately choose a different way back, so the return ride stays part of the Experience too.

The Rastro, lunch, and a quiet road home
The market is done on foot; the rest of the day you are on the Vespa, with a way back that is deliberately different from the way out.
More about where this ride goes
-
START
Monte Pego, helmets and a practice round
The same calm start as always: helmets, intercoms, and two laps until the Vespa feels like yours.
-
FIRST STOP
Coffee and honey at a true local family business
A family business that has been working in the Marina Alta for some eighty years. We meet the beekeeper, taste local honey and drink our coffee in an authentic spot right in the middle of the region.
-
ON THE WAY
Through El Ràfol, Beniarbeig and Pedreguer
Quiet back roads through the villages of the Marina Alta, and then into the Llíber Valley towards Xaló, with vineyards and almond terraces all around.
-
THE MARKET
The Rastro of Xaló
The Rastro, local flavours and time to discover Xaló.
-
LUNCH
Lunch together in Xaló
After the market we sit down together in a restaurant in the village. A proper lunch, without hurry.
-
THE WAY BACK
A different road home, past Pego
The way back follows another route towards Pego and Monte Pego, and is every bit as beautiful and varied as the way out.
-
FINISH
Back in Monte Pego
Back with a bag full of things you did not plan to buy.

Before you ask
Do I need experience?
No. If you can ride a bicycle you can ride our Vespas. We start with a short practice round on a quiet road until you feel at home.
Is it safe?
We ride small roads with little traffic, never more than five scooters, and your guide is on the intercom the whole way. All Vespas are new, insured and serviced weekly.
Do I have to change gears?
No. Our Vespas are fully automatic. Turn the throttle and go.
What happens if it rains?
We move your day to another date, or we refund you in full. Riding in the rain is not the experience we want to give you.
