Take in three of Spain’s most beautiful and unspoilt wilderness regions; the Somiedo, Fuentes Carriones and the awesome and spectacular Picos de Europa on routes that will challenge even the most seasoned pedaller. Our route takes in a number of Vuelta a España classics including the Pajares pass, an ascent to the Lagos de Covadonga and the fearsome and infamous Alto de El Angliru.
Certainly not a ‘pass bagging’ trip, but one which links the very different provinces of Spain, giving you chance to be seduced by the ever-changing geography and culture this proud country has on offer. Carved from the same block as our Land’s End to John O’Groats or St Malo to Nice trips this fantastic journey offers the chance to explore the sights, tastes and regional variations you can only get by tackling a country from end to end.

Southern Spain – Andalucian Tourer
This is a cycling tour that traverses east to west through the stunning mountain ranges of Andalucia. Following the arc of the Mediterranean, our route begins at the beautiful volcanic coastline of the Cabo de Gata before heading into the mountains and the dramatic, inhospitable ‘badlands’ of the Tabernas desert before we climb onto the slopes of the Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain range in mainland Spain.
