The northern coastal regions of the Basque Country, Cantabria and Asturias are famous for their rugged, untamed landscapes, and are the perfect destination for nature-loving cycle tourists.
In Asturias and Cantabria you can cycle through stunning mountainous nature reserves that abruptly drop into steep, lush valleys on one day. Then, on the next day you can discover quiet roads winding along the coastline where sheer cliffs give way to over a hundred different beaches, shaped by the waves of the Cantabrian Sea. This is the picture-perfect combination for an off-the-beaten-track biking vacation with time for some fun at the beach, and scrumptious seafood for dinner.
As well as its natural beauty, Northern Spain is also world-famous for its magnificent gastronomy. The pintxo bars in San Sebastián are a foodie’s dream, and the picturesque fishing villages along the coast are the perfect place to sample the fantastic local seafood, pulled straight from the Cantabrian Sea by the local fishermen.
Our Rioja and Basque Country Deluxe bike tour curates the very best of these two spectacular regions: Michelin star-studded Bilbao, where we find the avant-garde Guggenheim museum, dramatic coastlines, picturesque fishing villages, and sweet-scented vineyards.
Our self-guided bicycle tour from San Sebastian to Bilbao includes the region’s finest hotels and the most memorable dining experiences to complement the majestic beauty of the coastal cycling routes.
Further to the west, our self-guided bike tour of Cantabria and Asturias offers a very authentic Spanish experience. Cycling off the beaten path along the Cantabrian coast, you’ll be amazed at the endless variety of the cliffs, tiny coves, small fishing villages and sandy beaches. Brush up on your Spanish, order the local cuisine, and stay in the region’s finest hotels.
