A great self-guided road cycling holiday in Spain for those looking for a little more freedom. Ronda, in the heart of Andalucia, is a beautiful city, famous for its 3 historic bridges, steeped in history and generally regarded as the birthplace of modern bullfighting. It's difficult to think of anywhere more Spanish and it's difficult to think of anywhere more ideally situated for a centre based, off season, 'winter warmer' road cycling holiday. Flights to Malaga from a wide range of UK regional airports leave a little o...
Skedaddle's 'Channel to Med' odyssey takes us from Brittany's St Malo shoreline and doesn't stop until we reach the glamourous and warm Mediterranean waters of Nice on the French Riviera.

Passing through a patchwork of subtle and striking changes in terrain and landscape this is a route of two dis...
This tour is one of our most popular road cycling holidays in Spain and it's easy to see why!

A great swathe of the south eastern quarter of the region is dominated by the imposing mountain range of the Sierra Nevada. The mountain roads within th...
In conjunction with our long-established and very successful tour of Northern Corsica; (The Beautiful Isle), we bring you another road cycling holiday in France which covers the magnificent southern region of Corsica. Keen to assert their own identities, Corsica is divided into 'Haute-Corse' (upper Corsica) and 'Corse-du-Sud' (southern Corsica). The diversity of the landscape allows both of them to shine in their own right and both deserve a separate visit to make the most of them! This tour of the south is an absolute g...

Spain, España, doesn't need much of an introduction. We all know something about this country which takes up the lions share of the Iberian Peninsular. Most of us know about the great weather, the best in Europe even, and you probably know something about Spanish culture, flamenco, bull fighting and the infectious fun-loving attitude of the locals.

The Douro region is intrinsically linked to its wines. All these wines come from the terraces that surround the River Douro and its tributaries, where walls made of schist support the vineyards full of white and red grapes. As such, the landscape is not only moulded and sculpted to the production of wine but also the pace of life of the Douro. If the winter is marked by the calm and quietness, which seems to be reflected in the bare vines, the transition from the summer to the autumn brings the bustle of the harvest with a f...
