What people love about Active Tours in Spain
- "Camino de Santiago" (Way of St James): Portuguese Way from Tui -100 km
Great hotels and service.
- Catalunya North Gravel Bikepacking Adventure
The route was frankly ridiculous, way to long ,the way I made it was by not doing gravel, but state roads,not what I wanted but the only way to get from hotel to hotel. Also I did climb the 1500meter mountain between France and Spain, it was a challenge and you mentioning age group to 90 years old is deceiving. But I had a challenging great time,just what I signed up for
- Cycle Southern Spain - Murcia
This was a tour averaging about 40k per day with few hills so there was lots of time for sightseeing and relaxing. We spent most of our time in small towns with few tourists which meant that food and wine was generally excellent value. The riding was pleasant on mostly quiet roads with few traffic issues.
