Cycling holiday Costa Blanca
In the southeast of Spain, between Alicante and Valencia, you will find a mountainous area that is perfect for cycling. During this bike tour Alicante to Valencia you will encounter rolling valleys, glorious cols with panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea and of course the so-called ‘Via Verdes’.
Our cycling holiday in Costa Blanca is characterized by:
- Small scale and personal accommodations
- Visit to Xixona, the city of nougat

What is a Via verde?
Vías Verdes (literally, "green-ways") are old disused railway lines that have been recovered and reconditioned for use by walkers and cyclists. Exploring them is a different, enjoyable and environmentally friendly way of getting to know Spain, its culture and its landscapes. Of over 7,600 km of disused railway lines that existed in Spain in 1993, nearly 2,500 km have been converted into 120 Greenways.
They make an attractive and sustainable resource for the public to enjoy the natural environment and rich railway heritage.
An advice from Cycletours: don't forget to bring a flashlight or bicycle light. The train tunnels can be dark.
