Family Cycling Holidays in Andalucia, southern Spain
Family Cycling Holidays
Kids love their bikes and they love to ride them! Planning a family holiday can be very stressful, well the answer is easy, take the family on an family cycling holiday!
With the kids in tow a family cycling holiday is a fantastic opportunity to spend quality time with the whole family whilst enjoying the fresh air, beautiful scenery and picturesque white villages of Andalucia.
From teenagers to tag-a-longs and toddlers in baby seats this is not just a biking holiday, it’s an adventure that the family will enjoy together. From 7 to 77 years old we have had family members cycling independently, with 8 month old toddlers in baby seats being our youngest participants.
Even if you are an experienced rider, cycling with your family has its own rewards. The knowledge that your kids will be getting fit, interacting with nature, building their confidence and, most importantly having fun, it's extremely satisfying. By taking your children on a cycling holiday you will be opening their eyes to what is possible on a bike and the enjoyment it can bring.
On each route there are plenty of opportunities to either stop and take photos, go to a children’s playground, have cakes and ice-cream, climb a castle, go down to a river or a paddle in the lake, these non-cycling activities help to keep the whole family entertained during the ride.
We will adapt our routes to suit your family requirements. You tell us how far you want to ride and we will provide a great route. Tired legs needn't bring an early end to the day, with the support vehicle on hand all members of the family can enjoy the days riding without stress!
Your 2 wheel cycling adventure in Andalucia is a fantastic way to discover the many beautiful ‘pueblos blancos’ (white villages) that are synonymous with this part of Spain whilst spending quality time as a family, getting fitter together and feeling healthier.
Each family has their own guide which allows you to ride at a pace that is suitable to your family without feeling any pressure to keep up or being kept waiting for other groups that are here riding. Obviously if your two families are compatible to ride together then this is not a problem, however, in this instance there would be two guides riding thus maintaining our policy of one guide per family.
For maximum enjoyment families should ride as a group and at the pace of the slowest/weakest rider. It’s not much fun being left miles behind as Dad steams ahead at his usual pace, leaving Mum to bring up the rear, with the kids riding alone somewhere in between.
If you really want your family to continue riding together, you have to remember the real reason for doing it!
Whether your family is new to cycling or experienced cyclists we will tailor make a cycling holiday that keeps everyone happy.
Good bikes, wonderful weather and excellent well planned routes are the perfect recipe for a great family cycling holiday.
We strongly recommend that the family has a day off cycling mid-week, so that those family members who, maybe, are not so keen cyclists have the opportunity to relax or choose another activity for the day.
Other activities available for the family in this area
Horse Riding, Canoeing, Kayaking, Rock Climbing, Archery, and Hiking.
For those families that enjoy 'Geo caching' there are some excellent walks and even a treasure hunt around the old part of Ronda.
Our fun, friendly, family multi activity holiday is your families answer to a healthy holiday adventure in the beautiful Grazalema Natural Park, near Ronda in Andalucia.
