Pedal across the Basque Country, from Rioja’s rolling vineyards to Pagoeta’s lush forests, ending with the golden beaches of San Sebastian and world-class meals.
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.
Ratings & Reviews
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!
I found this place with a simple Google search, and I never could’ve expected the custom experience I received. They provided options to help my husband and I hone in on exactly what we wanted to do for our honeymoon. We had perfectly curated GPS-lead rides all across the country, they booked all of our hotels, and planned all of our transportation. Every place that we went was so beautiful. I’m so grateful that we found this company to help us plan our honeymoon, couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
I was able to tailor a bike tour itinerary along the Adriatic coast that suited our group during the shoulder season. We added individual pre and post-trip activities which went smoothly. Our trip included stops in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. The trip planner, guide and support team were great.
I would highly recommend anyone doing this tour take the e-bike option. There were only 3 of us on our tour who completed this on regular bikes. Four others who started out on regular bikes swapped over to e-bikes after the first day. The climbs are long and steep. There is pretty much only up or down, not much flat or undulating road. It is doable, but very challenging. If you are on an e-bike then this also helps with the group staying together and no-one having to wait too long for others to catch up. The bikes were really good and had great gearing that was capable of handling the steeper climbs. When we booked we were unaware that we would be riding in a group of 20plus at all time. Thankfully our group had prior group riding experience but we did observe other large groups with less than desirable riding behaviours.Others in our group were extremely understanding and supportive. Our guide, David, was very adamant about staying safe on the road. He was flexible with the itinerary and made changes to suit the weather conditions and to ensure we got in as much riding as possible. He was vey knowledgeable about Croatian history and agriculture and taught us lots about the country he is so passionate about. Our captain, Tolma, was also amazing and along with his awesome crew, made our cruise an enjoyable experience.
