Porsche Tour of Spain
29 April-10 May 2026
Every year since 2004 committed bands of high performance sports car owners have been searching for the best drives in Spain—we have always succeeded in finding roads which some say are as good as the Stelvio. Often we stop off at the Circuito de Guadix for an exclusive trackday. Clive Greenhalgh who set up the circuit was a UK sportscar dealer—we get a great reception. Lewis Hamilton, Alain Prost, Jake Hill, Damon Hill and Michael Schumacher have all driven here; the Porsche GT2 was launched here
There are no noise restrictions at Guadix Circuit!
This is not a convoy drive trip, people drive at their own pace, with friends or alone as they wish, the roadbook gives a suggested route but there are no rules—all you have to do is get to the next hotel—have a convivial evening and get up the next day and do it all again!
Good company, historic hotels and the best driving in Europe!
