Whether it’s the delicious food or the fantastic scenery, Spain has it all. Cycle beneath glorious sunshine, visiting vineyards and towns famed for their beauty. The Spanish culture is also fantastic to experience, perfectly combining excitement and leisure.
Our cycling holidays in Spain are designed with leisure at its heart. Sunny pedalling is often followed by a peaceful siesta before heading into town for the evening. Thanks to well-maintained paths, cycling in Spain is perfect for a Softies experience, where you can enjoy your holiday in the slow lane. This makes it that much easier to soak in the atmosphere and gorgeous views you’ll come across on your tour.
Spanish food is famously delicious, and ordering tapas means you’ll try almost everything on the menu. Each region will also boast their own specialities and delicacies, making every Spanish experience unique. The wine is wonderfully varied here, with a great mix of reds and whites to choose from. Beer lovers are also treated well, with generous options for ‘cerveza’. Of course, a jug of sangria for the table is a great choice, and always refreshing.
The fantastic weather means you can enjoy Spain cycling holidays at any time of year. In summer, a mid-day siesta is a must to stay cool, but the evenings are perfect for sunset drinks and dinner.
Spain has a long and fascinating history, with an architectural legacy you can still very much see today. Some of the most beautiful and famous buildings in the world are in Spain, including the Sagrada Familia in Catalonia. Whilst cycling in Spain, you’ll also notice the many Roman ruins that fill the towns and countryside, including almost intact aqueducts and ancient amphitheatres that rival Italy’s.
Catalonia is a fantastic region for leisurely cycling. There are many quiet country lanes with little traffic, so beginner cyclists are well looked after.
Spain is best visited in the late spring and autumn, with fewer crowds and milder weather. However, summer can be a fantastic time to visit, with almost guaranteed sunshine.
