Bilbao, the Basque Capital
Your cycling holiday starts with staff meeting you at the Bilbao Airport at 10am. Bilbao is easily reached from many European destinations and some international destinations. We suggest arriving a day or two early so that you can explore this fascinating city and of course, visit the famous Guggenheim Museum. Exhibits are always changing and the building itself is spectacular. The old town is also a great place to explore. If you’d like Bikestyle Tours to secure you an extra night or two at a Bilbao Hotel, please indicate this to us at the time of booking.
Our luxury transport will transfer us from the airport to the Cantabria mountains where we can unpack our bags, for two nights at least. Our luxury spa hotel is a popular health retreat. Our mechanic will assist you to assemble your own bike, or if your hiring from us, fit your pedals and saddle to your hire bike before we set off on a short warm-up ride.
This evening we will have a special dinner to officially welcome our new and returning guests to their Spanish cycling holiday with Bikestyle Tours. Staff will be on hand to answer any of your questions about the adventures to come.
