The MotoTurismo Awards 2024 once again become the national epicenter of the passion for traveling on two wheels. A third edition that took place in the town of Canfranc (Huesca), at the spectacular Estación Internacional hotel, located in the heart of the Aragonese Pyrenees.
As we already told you previously, the election of Canfranc as host of the 2024 MotoTurismo Awards gala is a consequence of the victory of the province of Huesca as the best National Route in 2023 with its initiative “Huesca la Magia en Ruta”, the TuHuesca promotion society (Tourism of the province of Huesca).
