ABOUT US
Passion for the pedaling routes.
Biking Through Spain is a company specialized in cycle touring and Mountain Bike tours. Our routes are designed to profoundly enjoy the most spectacular and natural surroundings of our geography. Our activities are not only for more experienced cyclists but also those who want to begin cycle-tourism as a means of travel.
The reasons behind Biking Through Spain
For several years we have enjoyed traveling by bike. We love seeing the paths, streets and routes every time more frequented by this small, ancient and lovely vehicle which generates healthy ecologic circulation and lends itself to positive attitude.
For quite some time we have traveled on bikes through several countries and we know the necessities of this kind of active tourism: transporting of bikes, maintenance, assistance, searching for the most peaceful routes etc.
We get pleasure going through the most beautiful landscapes of the regions and love learning about them through travel. Experiencing the regions, their cultures, art, gastronomy and people.
We mainly search for sustainable lodging with ecological local products, bike friendly and people deeply rooted in the regions.
We want to completely immerse ourselves in nature and for this provide knowledge of the areas, design and optimal planning of routes and skill levels
Our country has a richness of natural resources, landscapes and cultures of great diversity.
For all these reasons and for you we created Biking Through Spain.

Bicycles without borders
We collaborate with Bicycles without borders because we feel committed to and motivated by their project. The fact that a bicycle is a basic tool to gain access to knowledge creates ties between our projects.
BWB, in its current work, is making it possible for 800 Senegalese boys and girls to avoid daily walking on a dusty path in 104 degree heat to arrive to school. Having a bike means using 5 times less energy than walking and in many cases this is the difference between getting and education or not.
We dedicate a part of our earnings to promote BWB’s programs and through our site we’ll be doing specific actions in which everyone can collaborate.
