A tour in Northern Spain ?

Further to a very enjoyable ride in the Picos de Europa in May 2016 a group of us is planning to go again in the latter half of May next year.

The mountain roads are a challenge but our intention is to ride at a self-paced B Group sort of pace which allows for stopping to admire the scenery, taking photos, and as much as possible to stick to our usual programme of elevenses, a lunch, and an afternoon tea break. Daily distances will be kept at around 40 miles or less for most of the holiday. Our luggage will be transported between hotels for us by Iberocycle from whom we will be hiring bikes.

This is shaping up to be a fourteen day tour including the days we travel to and from Santander. We will ride most days but intend to include about three days off, on one of which we will walk along part of the spectacular Cares Gorge.

The north of Spain is wonderful for cycling with good surfaces and very little traffic. Scenically and culturally it is very different to the rest of Spain and offers a very rich experience to cyclists and walkers.

Please contact me for more detail if you are interested in this tour.
