It's a secure garage about 200m away on Avenue Mohamed V. The concierge will run alongside you to show you the way.

(He's probably really making sure he gets his commission from the garage, LOL.)

I've stopped there maybe four times, I can't remember the amount but it wasn't excessive.

The cafe opposite Hotel España on the big roundabout does excellent churros and chocolate for breakfast.

Some photos of the town, at the end of my post: https://www.ukgser.com/forums/showth...familiar-plant

Yes, Tony.

And if anyone is interested, the government has spruced up Lixus no end, though I think you probably have to pay now to visit.

I stopped there a few years ago and a very moroc type town , had some great sardines near the harbour .
At night it got packed with people walking/ shopping. Passed through 2 years ago and it seemed the same to me ( too much flag !! )

Sounds like a good first day stop . May get blown out the window if we are still having to provide neg tests at borders.....4 x 130 euros and all the grief finding somewhere to get them done ....and make sure they are right ones as well

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
