About this trip

Valencia is not just a city, but a beautiful and diverse region of Spain, similar in size to Wales.


Valencia Region

 

 The countryside in the Valencia region of Spain is diverse and includes mountains, plains, wetlands, and beaches

  • MountainsThe region's interior is mountainous, especially in the north and west. The Altiplano de Requena-Utiel range is in the interior and averages about 750 meters in height. Its not as tough an area as the Picos, Pyrenees, Sistema or SIeera Nevada, but it will still offer us some great cycling.
  • ValleysThe region has deep and steep valleys formed by major rivers. I suppose we might cycle up one or two of these......
  • Coastal plainsThe region has vast coastal plains, including the plain of Valencia, which is the second largest coastal plain in the country. 
  • Other landscapesThe region also includes wetlands, beaches, pine and oak forests, juniper bushes, Mediterranean garrigue, palm plantations, orange orchards, citrus fruit plantations, vegetable gardens, and rice paddies. 

We will be trying to experience as much of the region as we can !

We had a great trip. The scenery was amazing, the routes were well thought out, the accommodations and food were fantastic. Martyn did a great job with all the logistics and it made it easy to just show up and ride.

I has a great time, despite the rain. Good riding, good accommodations, and great people. Can't wait for the next one!

This was a wonderful trip and the cycling was fab along excellent roads through beautiful landscapes. The trip was very well organised by Martyn and his choices of hotels was spot on. Many thanks to his assistants Ann and John, and I can't recommend enough this tour and all the others organised by Martyn and Act Tours. Simply the best.

Great cycling in Spain. Routes offered an enjoyable, fun window on the region ( despite the weather at times). Group had cohesion and provided many moments of fun/laughter/support. Van support was first class. I enjoyed the second night in hotel as a variation on normal tour design. Tour leader: excellent as ever with his logistics skills, ability to overcome the inevitable hiccups and the product he has produced. The proof is 5 cyclists from USA that think ACT the best and book up for more tours

Really good adventure. Shame weather made some of the trails slippery as would have been doable in the dry. Good food and good company - overall another excellent tour by Martyn.
