During a trip to the mountain village of Guadalest, Spain yesterday, my parents and I stopped halfway up the mountain to visit the Museo Vehiculos historic Valle de Guadalest. A motorcycle and classic car museum on the way to the popular tourist destination of Guadalest is a stopover for many tourist buses that go up the mountain, and a destination that should not be missed. If you're an aficionado of classic motorcycles or car, you'll love the Museo Vehiculos historic Valle de Guadalest, it is not only an excellent museum, but has a restaurant, a shop and a wonderful food store and too.What Wine of the Museo Vehiculos historic Valle de Guadalest? - Located in the mountains, 20 km from Benidorm, Spain and five kilometers from the mountain village of Guadalest, the museum was opened by a Spanish man. A classic bike and car restoration after 25 years of restoring his beloved vehicles, he decided to create a museum so that people around the world could come and see some of the motorcycles and cars that was restored so beautifully.The museum is located in a beautiful location, just below Guadalest, a mountain scenery and overlooking a beautiful valley. It is not only a museum but. The owner has also opened a charming shop, where you can buy souvenirs motorcycle and car, excellent food and wine store and a restaurant that serves one of the best meals in the area.The Museum Collection - Although not a large collection (about 100 motorcycles), which is fascinating in this museum, you will find classic bikes and cars you've ever seen before.Look for the Ducati 1960 85cc, the incredibly cool Spanish makes Vespas, and Motortrans Ducati 250 24 Horas. They are all beautifully renovated and interesting to see and read. There are also some interesting micro-cars, all polished and shingy and enjoyable to watch. Each day, the owner moves a couple of bikes or cars outside the museum to attract passersby, even if you do not want to pay the entrance fee 3 euros (which is cheap) you still get to see something.The Museum Shop - Do not miss the museum shop as well. It is quite large and has an excellent selection of model cars and motorcycles, clocks with cars on their car key rings, car plates, t-shirts on cars and motorcycles, postcards, and quite prices relatively cheap. I bought an alarm clock with a design of a Citroen car on the face for only 4 euros 90 cents - I would pay less in Thailand, where I live, for the same thing.The Food and Wine Museum Shop - The best place to the Historical Museum Vehiculos Valle de Guadalest, for me it was great food and wine shop just across the parking lot of the museum. Full stock of local wines, jams, honey, liqueurs, chocolate, olive oil, vodka, nuts, garlic and more, it's a great place to buy gifts for and pick up some local specialties try.I bought a big box of extra virgin olive oil Spanish to take home for a quarter of the price I pay in Thailand. I also picked up several big Spanish chocolate bars, a jar of jam, a package of dried apricots, and a couple of small souvenirs - everything is perfect gift for friends and family. The prices are very reasonable and if you want to support independent stores as well as help the local economy, this is the place to shop.The Vehiculos Historical Museum Restaurant in Valle de Guadalest - The museum is also known for its restaurant named El Riu's famous in the region for its grilled meats and chicken, you can watch roasting on a grill brick skeleton outside the front of the restaurant.
