After the professional teams discovered Calpe on the Costa Blanca for their cycling camps, amateurs and cycling tourists also followed. Vuelta Turistica, the company of Belgians Jurgen and Inge van Goolen, arranges fully-organized cycling trips and cycling camps in/from Calpe. Many will remember the name Jurgen van Goolen from the time he was a professional cyclist, Inge was also a professional cyclist and triathlete.
Vuelta Turistica follows a service model appreciated by many cyclists. From a comfortable and cyclist-oriented hotel in Calpe, you take daily guided cycling trips through the surrounding area of the Costa Blanca. There are many beautiful cycling routes in the area as well as several challenging climbs. There are different groups so that everyone can train at their own level. Bringing your own bike is not necessary because the Specialized rental bikes (Tarmac, Roubaix, and sporty e-bikes) that Jurgen offers are of top quality (can also be rented separately).
A fully-catered cycling camp can be as long or short as you desire, so it is possible to cycle with Vuelta Turistica for only a few days. Many cyclists choose to stay for one week. This is what you can expect:
