When you work with BIKE SPAIN TOURS, you work
with an experienced, multilingual
team dedicated to making your trip
the best it can be.
1.
Well-trained, professional tour leaders.
We carefully select and train our
leaders and meet with them regularly
in order to keep them up to date with
safety, equipment or logistics issues.
2.
Expertise in Biking in Madrid.
Biking in urban settings can be dangerous,
and it’s even worse in a city
where biking is starting to take off.
We’ve helped destroy the image
of Madrid being unsafe for cyclists:
by using one-way streets in the historic
city centre and travelling on pedestrianised
streets (where bikes are permitted),
you can bike around town without having
to be obsessed about your safety.
3.
A new fleet of city bikes every year,
which are regularly maintained and
kept in tip-top shape. Bike Spain
provides you with all necessary material
to ensure your safety and comfort
so that all you have to do is get
in the saddle and get ready to have
a great time!
4.
Extensive experience organizing company,
regional and fundraising events.
As the sole company chosen to work
with Madrid’s Tourism Council
as a official partner for its city
tours, Bike Spain has years of experience
coordinating, organizing and delivering
bike tours in and around the city,
and across the Spanish peninsula.
Bike Spain has more experience organizing
incentive trips, bicycle tours and
publicity events than any other bike
touring company on the peninsula.
5.
Diversifying activities.
While many groups love the idea of
having a day out, you don't have to
focus the activity solely on biking.
Why not consider a combination of
biking with a hiking excursion in
one the Madrid region's more scenic
corners? Or, if your group truly loves
a challenge, we'll tailor-make a complete
bicycle activity day (with treasure
hunts, history quizzes and all kinds
of fun activities) specifically for
your group.
The destinations
are only limited by your imagination.
Our Madrid
city tour connects the most prominent
and interesting sights of the city,
starting along the old Moorish walls
of the city, visiting the 2,200 year-old
Templo de Debod (recovered during
the construction of the construction
of dams on the Nile, and given as
a present to the Spanish state). From
there we head through Habsburg Madrid,
visiting the Royal Palace and the
Plaza de Oriente and move through
narrow streets lined with medieval
palaces. We’ll take the opportunity
to enjoy a cool drink in the bustling
Plaza Mayor before heading off to
head by the Botanical Garden and the
Prado museum, take time to discover
the shady Retiro Gardens and visit
the Puerta del Alcalá before
heading back along the Calle de Alcalá,
through the Plaza de Cibeles (past
the wedding cake-like Palacio de Comunicaciones,
where the main post office is located)
before returning back to the Puerta
del Sol, in the heart of the city.
If you want
a truly memorable event set in some
of Madrid’s most stunning territory,
why not consider staging an event
in the Sierra de Madrid? Some of Spain’s
most historic and prettiest monuments
– the Monasteries of El Paular
and San Lorenzo del Escorial and the
Manzanares Castle – are nestled
in the valleys of the Sierra, totally
accessible by bike and make for a
great escape out of the summer heat
of Madrid. Less than an hour out of
Madrid there’s a great opportunity
to travel down the roads less travelled,
through cattle ranches, under gigantic
storks’ nest, and have lunch
in a quiet country estate, allowing
you to enjoy the fresh air and fantastic
views with your lunch.
We'll
give you the opportunity to feel the
pulse of every place. Far from being
just an onlooker, you'll have the
chance to live the sounds, sights
and rhythms of Madrid. Our guides
are fun people with a solid background.
Not only are they responsible for
your safety on every tour, they will
also provide all necessary equipment,
safety items, food and drinks. All
you have to do is bring your eyes,
ears and curiosity!
