With a privileged location, between the mediterranean sea and the Pyrenees, Catalonia offers the perfect setting for a bike tour. Here you'll get to ride by the countryside roads of the Baix Empordà wine country, the winding roads overlooking the cliffs and secluded beaches of the Coasta Brava as well as some epic roads in the natural parks leading to the top of the Pyrenees. Girona pairs a booming cycling culture with medieval heritage in a unique setting, and offers excellent gastronomical choices and local wines, that border the French Roussilon region, with whom it shares the mediterranean climate and benefit from the balming presence of the Pyrenees mountains.
We had a wonderful week on the Alentejo bike tour. The programme itself was excellent - we loved all the places we visited - the accommodation was outstanding - so unusual - and the towns and villages all so beautiful. The rides each day were great fun - challenging, but manageable, and the reward at the destination - reaching the beautiful town or seeing the magnificent view were always worth it. and lovely scenery along the way, good roads, fun coffee stops. Our guides Rodrigo and Luis were both super guys - we couldn't have asked for better - not only efficient and organised, but so friendly and always helpful and patient when dealing with any request from anyone, and just fun people to be around! They took us to lovely restaurants, different every time, and we all really enjoyed the delicious Portuguese cuisine and wine! It was a lovely week, a great experience from every angle, and the beautiful weather iin Portugal is just a bonus! Planning on doing the Douro tour next year!
