About Cycling in Basque Country

Known for its unique traditions, distinctive language, and world-class cuisine, the Basque Country offers a cycling experience like no other.

From the rolling vineyards of the Rioja region to the bustling cities of Bilbao and San Sebastian, every turn unveils a new facet of this captivating destination.

The Rioja region is a paradise for leisurely riders, with its gently undulating terrain and quiet country roads weaving through lush vineyards and charming medieval villages. This is the perfect place to sample world-famous wines, explore ancient bodegas, and take in sweeping views of the Ebro Valley.

In contrast, the coastal routes from Bilbao to San Sebastian offer a more challenging experience, with winding climbs and exhilarating descents through the rugged hills of Pagoeta Natural Park. Along these trails, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Bay of Biscay, pristine beaches, and dense forests teeming with wildlife.

And, of course, the highlight of cycling in the Basque Country is its culinary scene. Known as a global food capital, the region tempts travelers with pintxos, fresh seafood, and Michelin-starred dining.

Whether you prefer relaxed vineyard rides or testing your endurance on steep coastal ascents, the Basque Country promises an unforgettable adventure for every cyclist.

Great holiday. Really easy to follow routes, good choice of hotels and the en route places to eat and visit was really helpful. Super responsive to questions during my holiday. Would definitely use them again.

My self-guided cycling holiday in Mallorca was the perfect way to experience this incredible island. The routes included stunning coastal roads, peaceful inland villages, and iconic climbs like Sa Calobra. The provided GPS and maps made navigating easy, and I appreciated the freedom to linger at scenic spots or enjoy a long lunch overlooking the sea. The accommodations were fantastic, and luggage transfers meant I could focus on the ride. This trip was everything I hoped for and more.

Self-guided cycling through Andalucia was an amazing adventure! The detailed route notes guided me through dramatic landscapes, past olive groves, and into whitewashed villages like Ronda. I loved the flexibility to explore Granada’s Alhambra and other cultural highlights at my own pace. The accommodations were authentic and welcoming, and knowing my luggage was always waiting for me made it stress-free. The mix of scenic routes and cultural immersion made this trip unforgettable—I’d highly recommend it to independent cyclists!

Cycling, accommodation and route was great. Some aspects of the tour organisation and general communication could have been better.
