Spain Cycling Holidays

Self-guided cycling tours offer a customized and adaptable way to enjoy cycling vacations, giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace and adjust your itinerary or timetable as needed. Our team manages all the details, including lodging, comprehensive schedules, GPS routes, and continuous support, providing a relaxing and interactive journey that delivers autonomy, personalization, and genuine cultural experiences.

Our tours are categorized into three levels of difficulty: Leisurely, Moderate, and Challenging. We determine the rating based on an average day of the tour, which may have varying levels of difficulty throughout the trip.

Leisurely tours are perfect for those who want to enjoy a relaxed ride through stunning landscapes, without the pressure of covering long distances or tackling challenging terrain. These tours typically cover 30-50 km per day, with an elevation gain of up to 500m. You’ll have plenty of time to stop and take in the views, enjoy local cuisine, and explore the charming towns and villages along the way.

Moderate cycling tours are ideal for those who want a balance of scenic rides and a bit of a challenge. These tours typically cover 50-80 km per day, with an elevation gain of up to 1000m. You’ll ride through beautiful countryside and charming villages, with a mix of flat and hilly terrain. There’s plenty of time to stop and explore, while still getting a great workout on the bike.

Challenging cycling tours are designed for experienced cyclists who want to push themselves to the limit. These tours typically cover 80-120 km per day, with an elevation gain of up to 2000m. You’ll tackle steep climbs and challenging terrain, with stunning views as your reward. These tours require a high level of fitness and endurance, but the sense of accomplishment at the end of each day is unbeatable.

We are dedicated to finding the ideal match for you. We collaborate with various accommodation providers that meet our criteria, but their availability may differ, especially during peak seasons. Moreover, we can personalize your vacation based on your preferences and budget, making sure we discover the most fitting solution for your needs.

We advise booking your tour as early as possible, especially for popular tourist destinations where accommodation options are limited. The best choices are often booked out for summer before spring even arrives.

Accommodating dietary restrictions depends on their severity and can vary in ease. While vegetarian options are relatively common in Spain, finding vegan dishes can be more difficult in rural areas or smaller towns. It’s worth noting that lunch stops are typically at traditional establishments that may not be able to fulfill special requests beyond their standard menu. It’s important to keep this in mind when planning your trip.

Typically, late spring (May) and early autumn (September) are optimal for cycling tours, depending on the specific tour. However, summer can also be considered depending on the region due to potentially high temperatures.

Most tours can still take place in light rain as long as you dress appropriately. During the summer months, afternoon thunderstorms are common, so it’s best to start the tour early. If the weather looks particularly bad, we can try to make adjustments to the tour ahead of time.

Our tours are specially designed for road bikes unless specified differently, and when it comes to Spain, an endurance road bike would be the most optimal choice. However, using a different type of bike will not pose any issues. Gravel bikes can be an excellent alternative as they offer versatility without compromising road performance.

Rest assured, we can always customize our tours to accommodate your bike. For instance, if you opt for a gravel bike, we can incorporate gravel roads into the itinerary. Regardless of your bike choice, you are more than welcome to join our road cycling tours in Spain, as we will make the necessary adjustments to ensure a seamless experience.
