There is no better place than Spain for cyclists chasing reliable sunshine and world-class roads. Dramatic coastal mountains, mild winters and some of the best-surfaced roads in Europe guarantee every rider a sense of complete and utter freedom. Our tours are based around some of the country's most rewarding terrain, from the pro-training roads of the Costa Blanca to the legendary climbs of Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana. Here you can train on the same roads chosen by WorldTour teams every winter, enjoy some of the world's most celebrated food and wine, and experience why Spain has become Europe's favourite cycling training ground. Our aim is to help make your holiday special, by providing the best routes and the best experiences.

Browse by Region

Spain's cycling appeal comes down to a rare combination: a mild climate that makes large parts of the country rideable virtually year-round, and dramatic mountain terrain rising close to the coast in several regions. Few countries in Europe combine this much world-class climbing with this much reliable, comfortable weather.

Spain occupies most of the Iberian Peninsula, with terrain ranging from the Pyrenees in the north to the Sierra Nevada in the south. Our Spanish tours currently explore the Costa Blanca, home to the legendary Coll de Rates and the professional peloton's favourite winter training base, and Mallorca, where the Serra de Tramuntana offers some of the most celebrated climbing in Europe. Given this combination of serious climbing and dependable climate, Spain is a destination where visitors can enjoy a holiday full of high-quality training, relaxation and the thrill of riding the same roads as the world's best.

When you think of Spanish food, expect exceptional variety shaped by strong regional identity. Fresh seafood, cured jamón, and the rice traditions of Valencia sit alongside excellent wines from Rioja, Ribera del Duero and the Balearic Islands. There are countless tapas bars and restaurants throughout the country, set in wonderful coastal and mountain locations, and we will bring you to the best.

CLIMATE

Spain's climate varies by region — a mild, dry Mediterranean climate along the eastern and southern coasts, and a more continental climate across the interior. Coastal regions like the Costa Blanca and Mallorca enjoy over 300 days of sunshine a year, making them ideal winter and early-season riding destinations.
