Road bike adventures
For bike clubs & groups
What better way to discover an untouched part of Spain than from two wheels?
Welcome to our road bike adventures, starting in Tortosa, Catalonia – just south of Barcelona. Our cycling trips are carefully designed to showcase the very best of the region: majestic mountains, charming small villages, quiet country roads, breathtaking nature, and the sparkling sea.
You’ll be staying at a hotel dedicated to cycling groups, offering everything you need: a secure bike room, a fully equipped repair space, direct access from the garage, and endless cycling routes right at your doorstep.
Join us for four unforgettable days in the saddle as we guide you through our favorite routes and hidden gems of Catalonia.
