“Spain’s incredible mix of landscapes means there’s always a fresh adventure around the corner. As a mountain biker at heart, I find the rugged charm of the Picos de Europa and the Camino Primitivo especially rewarding. Head south and you’ll discover stunning coastal scenery near our base in Tarifa – it’s a place that never fails to impress. Come and experience it – you won’t be disappointed!”
– Dan Hirst, Skedaddle España Tour Guide
Cycling in Spain
-road-conditions-spain.jpg)
Terrain
The cycling terrain in Spain is diverse, offering something for all types of cyclists. From mountains with challenging climbs to the gentle terrain of coastal regions, as well as plenty of options for gravel and mountain bike riding too, Spain’s range of landscapes make it a great destination for any cyclist. For anyone looking for relaxed options, the network of Via-Verdes (greenways) offers a laid-back cycling holiday option.
Climate
Depending on the region you choose, year-round cycling is possible, with different areas offering ideal conditions at different times of the year. Southern Spain experiences mild winters so is a good option for anyone wanting to cycle late in the year, whereas Northern Spain offers perfect cycling weather between May and October. We typically avoid cycling holidays in the height of summer when temperatures can become too hot.
Infrastructure
Roads are well-marked and bike lanes are common, while a growing number of accommodations and services are available to cyclists.
Routes
Our top Spanish cycling routes:
Camino de Santiago - The Camino de Santiago is said to be the first great European tourist route. Travelled by pilgrims from around the world for over 1000 years, this is a beautiful journey through historic landscapes.
Bilbao to Barcelona - This incredible coast to coast journey from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean meanders through spectacular sierras and valleys in the shadow of the majestic Pyrenean mountain range.
Pyrenees All Mountain Traverse – Mountain biking in the Spanish Pyrenees you’ll be treated to an epic wilderness ride with endless sublime singletrack snaking through some of Europe’s most breathtaking scenery.
Costa de la Luz - Enjoy a relaxing journey between stunning beaches and coves, linked by stretches of EuroVelo traffic-free cycleways and quiet local roads with bustling fishing ports and ancient whitewashed towns for an authentic Andaluz experience.
Food and Drink
Spain’s food scene is a highlight of any cycling holiday, offering a mouthwatering mix of fresh, local flavours. Imagine stopping in charming villages to enjoy delicious pintxos (tapas), vibrant salads, or rich paella made with seasonal ingredients. From coastal seafood feasts like the mojama tuna of Tarifa to hearty mountain dishes like Galician Caldo Gallego (potato and vegetable broth), the cuisine in Spain varies greatly from region to region. Spain is famed for its wine, from crisp white Albarino in the northern coastal regions to deep Ronda reds. In Asturias you may be invited to try freshly poured sidra (cider) instead of wine. Meanwhile, Andalucía is home to the sherry triangle. Whether you’re refuelling with light bites during the day or savouring traditional dinners in bustling plazas, the culinary experience in Spain adds a delicious layer to exploring its diverse landscapes by bike.

Can I bring my own bike?

What is the minimum number of riders required for a self-guided trip?

Can I start my trip on any day of the week?

What is the best time of year to cycle in Spain?
The best times to cycle in Spain are during the spring (March to June) and autumn (September to November) months. These periods offer mild temperatures and are ideal for cycling.
