fabulous valencia
Valencia is a mountainous region, with a rich history of culture, civilisation, agriculture and wine making. In the 16th Century its wines were considered to be the best in the world and in recent times are seeing a vibrant rebirth at the forefront of organic winemaking. It is home to some of the finest castles in all of Spain, spectacular National Parks and glorious verdant landscapes unfamiliar to many visitors. The gastronomy is second to none and a warm greeting is guaranteed from people keen to welcome to you to the real Valencia.
short weeks
Our short week explores the Vall d'Albaida, Serra Mariola and the surrounding area. We take you to beautiful climbs, rolling wine county and through stunning National Parks and valleys, to the most scenic villages and historic towns from our countryside base located in the most beautiful corner of Valencia and Alicante. We can take time to stop and visit some of the sightseeing highlights and sample the best cafes, restaurants and views to be found anywhere.
The week balances fantastic riding, with a mixture of longer and shorter days, with stops at historic sites, towns and vineyards. For more experienced or stronger riders we can also add extra climbs and ride extensions. Some of the climbs are optional as is taking a shorter day on this trip. All of the climbs can be taken at your own pace.
There is a ride every day, but guests are welcome take a rest day should they wish. We can tailor the ride to your group and choose rides from our extensive library of classic routes.
