Reviews Cycling Spain

It was a wonderful cycling trip through the olive groves of Andalusia. Everything was great: good bikes, comfortable accommodation, friendly people, and above all being outdoors together and cycling through the beautiful landscape. Our family of six, with children aged between 9 and 17, enjoyed it very much. It definitely left us wanting more!

We booked a tour through Cycling Spain and our local guide was Cycle Ronda. Thijs from Cycling Spain was very attentive and arranged the tour within a few days. We had some unfortunate rainy weather, but it was great to know that both could support us if we needed it. Since it was low season, we actually saw our local guide Ferry at one of the hotels for bag pick up and it was nice to talk to him along the way. He also checked on my bike and made some minor servicing adjustments. The hotels were very clean, traditional and serviced by friendly staff. Certainly we would do this sort of tour again perhaps with a couple more double night stays per town.

We enjoyed very much the biking, setup and everything around it✨

We had a fantastic week long cycle along the Ojos Negros. Pretty towns , charming hotels great food and a lot very safe riding along that spectacular greenway. Highly recommend!

Camino del Norte Just completed the Camino del Norte by bike in 9 days. A fantastic experience thanks to the perfect organization by Thijs and Hans, in consultation with local organizations. The route is beautiful, and there’s plenty of time to explore the various villages and towns. Overnight stays in charming hotels. The bikes are in excellent condition, and luggage transport was excellent. Thanks for this fantastic cycling experience!

We did a self guided tour on e-bikes from Pamplona to San Sebastián. It was amazing! I highly recommend Cycling Spain. Everything worked perfectly. The Cycle shop delivered the bikes to our hotel and moved our luggage from point to point with no issues. The app gave us great directions and we didn’t have any trouble following the route. Day 2 was especially lovely for us as the weather was better and the route was mostly downhill. Absolutely stunning views. The trail was very well maintained and made riding easy. The e-bikes were really nice to make the climbs easier. There were a couple places I would have been walking on a regular bike! We had a great meal at the hotel in Lukenberri. The only piece of advice is to be sure to have a headlight or headlamp for the tunnels. They can be very dark. If you are considering this tour…do not hesitate.

Just completed the three day Via verde de Aciete. Organised by Cycling Spain. What a wonderful experience we had riding through beautiful ancient Olive Groves, over centuries old bridges and through tunnels. Stayed in authentic Andalucien ancient towns in good accommodation with very friendly and helpful people. If you are after a well organised, authentic cycling trip through Southern Spain then this is the trip for you. Muchas Gracias.

We just came back from a wonderful 3 days on the Via verde del Aceite tour in Andalucia. The route itself was lovely, passing through olive groves on day one, then closer to rugged mountains and castles on day two, ending on day three with a gentle journey back down to the pickup point near Puente Genil. Along the way, we stopped at old station buildings now used as restaurants, lovely little towns off the tourist trails and crossed many bridges and aquaducts spanning high above the valley floors below. The hotels in Alcaudete and Dona Mencia organised by Cycling Spain were characterful and authentic. In Alcaudete our hotel was rustic (with a huge bedroom!) directly at the castle and a 5 minute walk from a lovely little square with cafe and restaurant options. Our hotel in Dona Mencia was more modern but very clean and comfortable, with stunning views of the mountains and valley around. We took advantage of the guided tour there which was memorable, including wine tasting and a walk along the “street of flowers” which was beautiful. A prime example of a local Spanish community working together to make something lovely to be enjoyed by older people in that area. The organisation, bikes, app and transfers provided by Cycling Spain and their partners were excellent. We had no significant issues over our 3 days and both of us agreed we would book with them in future.
