Cycling in Spain 2024-2025

Spectacular landscapes, tasty food from different regions, and plenty of interaction with locals—this is why you should choose a bicycle as a main form of transport while in Spain

Best time: September–June

The bicycle is a very popular means of transport in Spain, a country that has everything available for comfortable and easy cycling. You will find perfectly adapted routes, cycle touring and bike rentals all over Spain.

The Spanish climate makes it easy to cycle almost year round and enjoy the nature and architecture. This country has Pyrenees mountains, 15 National Parks and the best-signposted routes in Europe. On your way, you can easily find accommodations, campsites and beautiful bars.

Valencia, Vitoria, and Zaragoza are the most popular cycling destinations as well as the Pyrenees, the Way of Saint James, and Via Verdes. Beautiful landscapes can be found in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Andalucía, and on the tranquil roads surrounding Gorafe. Las Alpujarras is another unforgettable stretch on the southern side of the Sierra Nevada, which can take you up to the highest villages in Spain.

Even though you can go cycling all year round, summer might get too hot to enjoy the trip. In particular, July and August see the peak temperatures which makes them not the best time for this activity.
