Spain offers some of the best cycling in Europe. The Spain of the cyclist is not the Spain of the Costas, those narrow coastal strips wedged between mountains and sea where millions of people head for their summer holidays, but the country where Spaniards live, work and play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the mountains there can be long, relentless climbs that come with long descents, and those lasting 15 to 20 km are quite common. However, the hard and persistent uphill pedalling is amply rewarded with panoramic views at the col and scenic revelations during the empty descents. Conversely, once away from the mountains, the plains can be very flat, and even when undulating they make for a good, fast ride. Many stages have alternatives that provide easier or more difficult options to the main route. A number of optional loop routes are described that allow further exploration of some of the most interesting parts of Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All year round, depending on the area and route you choose. Analyse the route and choose the most suitable one for the season. In some areas the problem will come from the high temperatures in summer, in others, such as the Pyrenees or Picos de Europa, the problem may be the winter conditions of those months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malaga, Ronda, Granada, Seville, Cordoba, Madrid, Segovia, Bilbao, San Sebastian, Girona, Llanes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discover the real Spain from the inside from the tourist centres. A world of villages, small towns and vibrant cities, wooded hills, narrow gorges, Moorish palaces, Roman ruins, cave paintings, art, olive trees and oranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The routes described extend from the Pyrenees and Picos de Europa in the north, through the Sierras de Demanda, Gredos and Guadarrama in the centre, to the Sierras de Nevada and Grazalema and the Serran\u00eda de Ronda in the south. They also visit the cities of Avila, Cordoba, Bilbao, Madrid, Malaga, San Sebastian, Segovia and Seville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The routes have been designed for maximum enjoyment. The cycling is excellent, passing through the most beautiful parts of the country and visiting many interesting and historic towns and villages. Routes 1 and 2 are perfect for newcomers to cycle touring and Spain as they are relatively short and offer an excellent introduction to the country. Routes 4 and 6 pass through some of the less visited areas of Spain without encountering too many difficulties. The other routes are more physically challenging, but not excessively so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
