Tour of Valencia

This is a fully supported, place to place tour over 4 days, 4 nights. Starting in our local town, Xaló and finishing in the city of Valencia. 

​

We have painstakingly researched the province of Valencia finding what we believe are the best cycling roads that the area has to offer and have put together a challenging but rewarding route which is breathtakingly beautiful at every turn.  

Enjoy your first night in Xaló a village local to use surrounded by the best climbs in the Costa Blanca.  The following two nights further inland include overnight stays in the historic, Moorish towns of Xàtiva and Requena with their ancient spanish charm. Then enjoy the opportunity to cycle in to Valencia on a carefully planned quiet route and celebrate the epic journey with a final night in Valencia. The following morning enjoy a ride into the Albufera Nationa park, the home of paella or take a day off to enjoy the wealth of culture the city has to offer before flying home.
