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 activity 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 alongs 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 18 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 important of all, having fun is 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’ll 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.
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.
Whilst we appreciate that many people love to ride with their children we also know that there are just as many who prefer to ride on child free routes. Therefore, we never mix our family cycling holidays with our leisure cycling holidays.
Other activities available for the family in this area
Horse Riding, Canoeing, Kayaking, Rock Climbing, Archery, Bird Watching and Hiking.
