What are self-guided cycling tours?

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.

How demanding are your tours?

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.

Why aren't accommodations specified?

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.

How far in advance should I book?

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.

What if I have dietary restrictions?

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.

What's the best season for cycling in Spain?

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.

What if the weather forecast is unfavorable?

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.

What kind of bicycle is the best for these tours?

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.

How does luggage transfer work?

On cycling trips, luggage transfer allows you to ride without carrying heavy bags. Each morning, you leave your luggage at the designated spot—often the hotel reception—and it’s transported to your next overnight stop. Your bags are usually waiting for you when you arrive. Weight limits and pickup times can vary slightly depending on the service provider.

Do you transfer bikes too? How does it work?

Yes, bike transfers are often available when needed—such as before, after, or during your trip. Bikes are typically transported in secure vehicles or trailers designed for bicycles. You may need to notify the provider in advance, and some services require the bike to be clean or partially disassembled. Exact procedures vary depending on location and logistics.

Papagayo is a series of seven pristine coves in southern Lanzarote, each with golden sands and turquoise waters. The area is a protected nature reserve, home to endemic plants, seabirds, and marine life. Snorkeling and swimming are popular here due to the calm, clear waters. Papagayo also offers hiking trails along volcanic cliffs, providing panoramic views of the Atlantic and neighboring Fuerteventura.
