Top 5 best motorcycle rentals in Avilés

Avilés rewards anyone willing to leave the bus timetable behind. Picture threading out of the arcaded lanes around Calle Galiana, past the white curves of the Centro Niemeyer on the estuary, and being on the sand at Playa de Salinas within minutes — all without hunting for a parking garage. Rent a motorcycle in Avilés and the whole northern coast of Asturias opens up: cliff roads out to the Cabo Peñas lighthouse, the tumble of colourful houses at Cudillero, and long afternoons where the only plan is to follow the coastline.

This is hilly, compact terrain with an old town built for feet, not cars, so a bike slips through where four wheels get stuck looking for a space. Almost everything worth seeing sits 20 to 40 minutes out along winding roads, which is exactly the kind of riding a motorcycle was made for — and a **scooter rental in Avilés** means you spend that time enjoying the curves instead of circling for parking.

1. Casco Histórico de Avilés — the arcaded medieval old town around Calle Galiana, the natural start and end point of any ride, with easy parking nearby.
2. Centro Niemeyer — Oscar Niemeyer's white cultural complex on the estuary, a short ride from the centre and a striking photo stop.
3. Playa de Salinas — a long sandy beach and promenade a few minutes away, with a laid-back surf-town feel.

10. Costa Verde coastal route (Avilés–Cudillero–Luarca) — a classic stretch of Asturian coast road stringing together cliffs, beaches and villages for a full day out.

What do you need to rent a motorcycle in Avilés?

For a moped up to 50cc, an AM licence covers you, and a full category B car licence also works. For a 125cc scooter, you'll need an A1 licence — the local rule letting long-held B licences cover 125cc bikes only applies within Spain, so most visiting riders can't use it. Bring an International Driving Permit alongside your home licence if it isn't EU-issued, since rental desks commonly ask for one. Rental companies typically set their own minimum age, often 18 or 21 depending on the bike, and you should expect a deposit blocked on a credit card in your name.
