Spain by bicycle

Spain, claro que si!

Ah, Spain! Let yourself be lulled by the magic of the Spanish lands, from the peaks of the Pyrenees to the beaches of Catalonia. Rich in history, culture and superb landscapes, the southernmost country of the European Union is ideal for an exceptional cycling holiday. Meet the legend in Santiago de Compostela, immerse yourself in the Mediterranean ambience of the island of Mallorca, sample the pleasures of the Costa Brava - the choice is yours!

Quiet, but not too quiet

Spain is a country of contrasts: you'll be amazed to find that towns and villages empty out at 2 p.m., time for lunch and, above all, a siesta! On the contrary, don't be surprised if you wake up in the wee hours of the morning to find the streets still alive with joy and shared happiness. Spaniards love to party, and they know how to rest!

It's harder to adopt this lifestyle when you've got dozens or even hundreds of kilometers to cover in a day. All the same, you'll take the time to sample some of the best tapas to be found in Barcelona's carrer, those huge street blocks typical of the Catalan capital, and you'll have the opportunity to catch your breath on the majestic rocky peaks of the island of Mallorca offering a breathtaking view of the great blue Mediterranean.

Whether you choose the Costa Brava and its Catalan charm, Mallorca and its exceptional panoramas or a crossing of the Iberian Peninsula to Portugal from the mythical Santiago de Compostela, Vélo Québec Voyages offers you the best of Spain!
