Reviews for Catalonia self guided cycling vacation, Spain
Hilary Eade review 6 Oct 2023
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
We all loved meeting local people when we stopped for coffee and lunch. We biked through small villages, on farm tracks and quiet roads and everyone we met was friendly and liked conversing, which we all had fun doing with spattering's of Spanish and French.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
You will spend quite a bit of time biking on farm tracks and gravel trails so be prepared for that.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Certainly we felt our vacation benefited the local people. The accommodations were both small boutique hotels with the proprietor living on the premises. Meeting locals gave us a real feel for this area of Catalonia. We learnt quite a bit about the Catalonia people wanting independence, the locals really wanted us to know about this. Biking is very environmentally friendly and a wonderful way to really see an area4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
We were 4 seniors, all but myself over 70. We have all done biking tours before and this one was really good. The choice of routes really helped us explore thoroughly this quite small area in the hinterland of Roses. Steve is a brilliant organizer and communicator. Right from my initial contact with him he was open, upfront and quick with responses. We all felt very happy indeed with everything the trip promised and then delivered. I would highly recommend this trip.Deborah Beauchamp review 19 Sep 2017
