Mallorca is widely regarded as road cycling heaven, and truly one of the best destinations in Europe for a bike tour! This sunny island in the Mediterranean Sea has all the ingredients for you to enjoy a week of great cycling. Here, you'll be able to experience the mountains of the northern coast along with its iconic climbs and long downhill sections, the hills and flats of the southern and central area and the beautiful coastal roads that zig-zag up and down the western and northern coasts. Top that with secluded beaches in the warm mediterranean sea, rich and authentic gastronomy and you have the perfect ingredients for a cycling holiday!
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!
Led a group of 15 bikers for 7 days to the southwest coast of Portugal. Had a lot on my back with 15 riders to me managed but easy communication and great execution made it a memorable trip thanks to Live Love ride outfitA flawless trip with great guides -simply awesome. Highly recommended.
