The trip was absolutely unbelievable. Biggest takeaways: Portugal is an amazing country, each day on the bike is so different from the next, the days are challenging- especially as a novice biker, but doable. I quickly learned to trust every one of Ricardo’s suggestions- he is extremely organized, responsive and knowledge about all the best restaurants. Live Love Ride Portugal is truly a one of a kind family and I’m so glad I was able to experience the culture, food, wine and country by bike. Also, we did the trip in April- got very lucky weather wise, no rain, some chillier mornings and windy days but sunshine and 75 most of the time.
We had a fantastic bike tour in Mallorca with team Ricardo and Juan. Our e-bikes were top of the line assisting us in ultra hot 106 degrees and amazing ‘climbs’ followed by stunning switchback downhills. Our cycling routes are some of the best in Spain. Hotels were beautiful and provided plenty of serious r&r between rides (Cava was on the breakfast menu!). Mallorca is a cyclists’ heaven. Do this trip while you can. You won’t be disappointed!
