- What makes Spain a great destination for a bike tour?
Spain is a dream destination for a bike tour, blending vibrant culture, dramatic scenery, and a deep feeling of history into every route.
Expect variety in every bike ride – from the rolling vineyards of La Rioja to the greenways of inland Spain and the legendary Camino de Santiago, a centuries-old pilgrimage passage that’s now one of Europe’s most inspiring cycling routes.
In Spain, you’ll find peaceful countryside offering leisurely bike rides or more mountainous routes for thrill seekers. A bike tour here promises extensive cycling infrastructure, welcoming locals, stunning beaches, and evenings spent in the warm glow of tapas bars and plaza restaurants, sampling the country’s irresistible food and wine.
- When is the best time to take a bike tour in Spain?
The best time to take a bike tour in Spain depends a little on which region you’re traveling to, but in general, ideal cycling conditions are from March to June and September to October. In Northern Spain (Galicia, Catalonia, Cantabria, and the Basque Country), late spring to early autumn is ideal. For Southern Spain (Andalusia, Costa del Sol), consider traveling in late autumn to early spring.
- Are Spain bike tours suitable for beginners?
Cycling in Spain is accessible for riders of all abilities and skill levels. The country is known for its greenways – former railway lines converted to bike paths – that offer gentle cycling through rolling countryside along flatter valley routes.
For beginners, consider touring during the autumn and spring seasons, when milder temperatures offer more relaxed riding than in the peak summer months. Coastal and lowland regions will typically offer gentler cycling than mountain ranges like the Pyrenees.

“Perfect way to experience Spain. The local organizer did an awesome job, logistics ran pefectly with luggage transfers and accommodations. The itineraries each day were as described and there was a good mix of riding and sights to see along the way, with food and drink options marked accordingly.”

“Our group of 8 does bike trips around different countries each year so we are comparing this bike trip to other trips we’ve done. The destinations and customer service were outstanding. Also very good were the hotels, food and the bikes. The only thing we didn’t like was the many diversions around construction and the ride with GPS directions. The road construction was beyond the bike company’s control but we hoped for more communication about detours from the bike company. Also the ride with GPS directions were difficult to follow in a few places and we got lost. One day we rode over 76 kilometers and got to hotel well after dark. One bike had a flat tire and one of our group lost his passport. The bike company did everything they could to fix the tire and help our friend find his passport. In future, I would recommend the bike company verify the ride with GPS directions again and be sure to notify customers about the several diversion areas in advance of the ride. Thank you again for this beautiful bike ride.” Less

“This is my second European bike trip with bike tours and it was even better than the first. Daniel from Creative Catalonia really went above and beyond. He met us at our hotel with the bikes, a reusable bag, water bottles, a map and a GPS. He made sure the bikes fit us and that we knew where to start. He was a very thoughtful communicator. The bike rides are low mileage but it is hilly, with gorgeous views. The rides are mostly on bike trails with about 30% being packed dirt/gravel. The gps was awesome and Daniel included places of where to stop to see interesting sites, recommendations for lunches or dinners, etc. His recommendations were great and very appreciated. The hotels that we stayed in were lovely and we really enjoyed them.
My only tip to bikers would be to bring your own helmet. I used the one provided which was sufficient but it didn’t have mips technology which is really standard for helmets in the US and would be the safest.
And for bike tours & Daniel — I’d suggest figuring out an alternative for the ride from Monells to Girona if you’re concerned about the safety of the bikers. I would have loved another day of biking and near the sea.
This was a great tour, lovely hotels, nice e-bikes, fabulous recommendations, easy to use GPS, I would highly recommend this tour. We went in mid September and the weather was hot and beautiful.” Less
