Summary |
This 8-night/9-day, guided SOCIAL TOUR explores the heart of rural Murcia, with a route carefully chosen to ensure great cycling terrain and stopovers with an authentic local feel. Each day is different; The tour starts and ends on the coast. The route heads inland towards the foothills of the Sierra Espuña mountain, then continues a loop around the region. En route we target key cultural attractions, stunning scenery and unique accommodation choices offering real character. Whilst the tour is positioned as a social tour, the terrain does require a moderate level of cycling fitness. BUT don't be put off as we have a support vehicle just in case! FLEXIBILITY: Whilst our 8 night/9 day example is shown here, the number of days can readily be adapted to suit you and your cycling group. If you only have time for a shorter mini tour then still speak to us. |
