Spain is a country par excellence for cycling. The Pyrenees, the Basque Country, Catalonia, Asturias, Andalusia and the coast around Calpe, plus Mallorca and the Canary Islands. With the Spanish cuisine, the wine and the respect for cyclists on the road, everything works out just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northern Spain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Catalonia, the Basque Country, Aragon, Castile and Le\u00f3n, Galicia and Navarre. Catalonia has the cycling capital Girona, the Basque Country has the rugged coast and steep climbs, Asturias has the Lagos de Covadonga and the notorious Angliru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Central Spain and the east coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

More plains and space in Castile-La Mancha and the south of Aragon. On the coast are Valencia, Calpe and Alicante: the Costa Blanca, with the finest climbs in the country, just a stone's throw from the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South of Spain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Andalusia and Murcia are the ultimate winter destinations. Around M\u00e1laga, Granada and Seville you\u2019ll find beautiful routes, and the Sierra Nevada is the ultimate climbing challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The islands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mallorca is a cycling paradise with the Serra de Tramuntana and the descent of Sa Calobra. On the Canary Islands you can cycle all year round: El Teide on Tenerife, Gran Canaria where there are no flat meters, and Lanzarote for the triathletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When are you leaving?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
