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. You may have tasted tapas, manchego cheese and spicy chorizo and you may have followed your heroes on the Vuelta a España. We may know that Andalucia is in the swelt...

A superb road cycling holiday that explores the very best of the coast of Portugal. Starting near Porto the route follows the coastline to the south, starting on almost flat terrain, on a road squeezed in between the ocean and a natural lagoon. From here we continue through pine trees forests to reach Figueira da Foz and Nazaré. The ocean views are a constant in this tour, the deep blue of the ocean providing a huge contrast to the deep green of the forests. After the fishing village of Nazare the terrain changes ...

The regions of Piemonte in Italy called Langhe and Roero have become known as one of the most important wine production areas of the country, for wines such as Barolo, Nebbiolo and Asti. Recently it has hit the spotlight as a niche road cycling destination. Having received the UNESCO World Heritage recognition in 2014, one can understand why. Our road cycling holiday in Piemonte will be like riding through a picture book painting, taking you over rolling hills terraced with vineyards and dense woods, along ondulating ridgeli...

Most of us know about Spain's great weather and you probably something about Spanish culture, flamenco, bull fighting and the infectious fun loving attitude of the locals. You may have tasted tapas, manchego cheese and spicy chorizo. But how well do we really know it? Many know the north and south are mountainous and think the middle is one huge plain! Think again, this journey heads through an untold number of sierras, the most significant being the Cordillera Cantabrica, the spectacular Sierras de Guadarrama and Gredos...
