Family & Leisure Cycling Holidays

Family and leisure cycling holidays through many beautiful 'Pueblos Blancos' (White Villages) of Andalucia for singles, families and groups.

A week of leisurely riding taking in many beautiful white villages, stunning scenery, local cuisine (not to mention the odd cold beer or two) whilst experiencing the culture and history of Andalucia. The rides are all rated 'Easy' and designed for those of you who, maybe, don't ride as often as you wish or want to try a different type of holiday. The rides are completed at your pace with as many rest stops and photo stops as you wish.

We provide tag-alongs and buggies for those family members to young to ride independently. The routes below are adapted to suit your family requirements. Here is what some previous families and leisure riders have said about their holiday,

David, Sarah & Emma from Mexico, Family leisure cycling June 2007 said 'Claire & Ashley - Thanks for opening our eyes to the beauty of Andalucia. We loved all of the cycling and scenery. I was our first cycling holiday as a family and we enjoyed it so much that we'll recommend it to our friends. We hope to be back with you soon. Ashley - You were great with Emma (Aged 8) helping her up the hills and encouraging her. Thanks.'

Anupam, Hina and family from Lincoln , Family leisure cycling, February 2007 said 'A great holiday for the family and well thought out, good choice of routes and loads of encouragement for Mum (who had never cycled before) and our 7 year old son. We managed 10-15 miles a day on and off road with Ashley and full van back up. Claire and Ashley have made up ours minds for us and we will do this again'

Helen & Richard from Macclesfield, Leisure cyclist April 2007 said 'Be careful - you could get hooked!'

Sarah & Bhavesh from London, Leisure Cyclists June 2006 said 'You never get pushed beyond your limits, although the top of the hill is only ever round the next corner. Excellent guiding, tailor made cycling. Very adaptable. Fantastic townhouse and views. Options of other activities not yet tried as the cycling was so good. We will be back, regularly, it can only surpass expectations'

Via Verde

The Via Verde 'Greenway' is an old railway track that is now being re-used for recreational activities. This part of the line was never operational. The ride takes you over several viaducts and through many tunnels. Along the way we pass the Penon de Zaframangon a limestone escarpment which is listed as a National Reserve as it is home to the largest colony of Griffon Vultures in Spain . Along this stretch of the Via Verde there are 5 old railway stations of which 3 have been renovated into cafes where we can stop for refreshments.
