The Circuito de Almeria is situated in the region of the same name on Spain's southern coast, and thus provides a perfect location for testing during Europe's chilly winter months. The circuit lends itself to motorcycle riding as the gravel traps and run-off areas were completely renovated in 2007, and now comply with grand prix standards. Tight and challenging corners alternate with extremely fast sections.

The circuit offers amateurs and dedicated race drivers alike an expansive, well-equipped asphalted paddock, with tent pitches being available to those seeking unusual vacations.
