Following the success of some of the most entertaining motorcycle experiences in the UK and Europe, Malle London are excited to bring one of the most exciting weekends you can have on or off 2 wheels, to beautiful Portugal.

This action packed weekend, features a mix of fun off-road challenges, The ArrĆ”bida Rally, delicious food, drink and partner exhibitions in The Canyon Village, the infamous Art of Machine Exhibition, with a backdrop of live music entertainment and DJā€™s on The Desert Sounds Stage to keep you dancing late in the canyon!
