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!
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.
