The Valencia region is really the place to enjoy cycling by the seashore. The stretch of land between Alicante and Valencia is one of the coziest on the shores of the Mediterranean sea. Enjoy the warm waters, its welcoming people, the sunsets, the steep cliffs and the mild climate fostering a wonderful vegetation.

Centuries ago settlers in the Iberian Peninsula gave an impulse to its economic progress, leading to the prominent position it has won today for the supply of vegetables and fruits of the region. The mildness of its climate favours an outdoor life, along with its exuberant feasts such as the " Fallas Valencianas ".

Nevertheless, Valencia is a modern town, and a visit to its art galleries and its town center is a must.

We shall be staying in Denia. Once an old Greek colony, nowadays a touristy centre made attractive by its peaceful and lovely beach. Not to be missed are: its castle, its lively historical centre and its fishing harbour. There is a boat connection to the Island of Ibiza. The chosen routes from Denia follow small roads along meadows and orchards, hills, cliffs and beaches. We will get to see lovely villages such as Javea, Altea, Calpe and Moraira, where many foreigners live all year round due to its mild climate. We will taste the good cuisine of the region, above all its world famous rice dishes in different types, such as the renowned Paella and fresh fish, always accompanied by the best of Spanish wines. In general, cycling routes are covered in the mornings, lunches are in-group and at the first hours of the afternoon-evening we are back in the hotels. Evenings are free.

         

You will know some of the more spectacular landscapes, the best monuments and some of the more typical villages of Spain.
