The Region of Valencia
The Region of Valencia
With over 2,500 hours of sunshine per year, and an average temperature between 12° and 20° in winter and 24°-32° in summer, Valencian territory provides for cycling in all its versions, 365 days a year. The Region of Valencia is also considered one of the most mountainous zones in Europe, specifically the Dels Ports region, in Castellón’s interior. This is the second-most mountainous region in Spain, and Alicante’s regions are not far behind. While no higher than two thousand metres, the complexity of its structural systems and its acute slopes, extensive massifs and intricate ravines make the Region of Valencia an ideal location for mountain biking.
Its mountain passes are a paradise for road cyclists, and the villages, towns and interior valleys are ideal for saddlebag cycle tourism. The fact that the Region of Valencia is easy to access, either by road, by train or by plane, clearly facilitates tourism in all regards. However, as far as cycling is concerned, it does so to an even greater extent, given that there is a vast infrastructural network to enjoy cycle tourism under completely safe conditions. Totally equipped mountain biking centres, Greenways and cycle tourism projects, such as the Vall d’Albaida with detailed routes and quality accommodations, specialised in athletic tourism, place the Region of Valencia at the forefront of Europe in terms of cyclist infrastructure. There is practically no municipality or region that has not signalled and enhanced bicycle routes for its districts.
A wide range of lodging options, all sorts of services adapted to cyclist needs and a large selection of companies specialised in active tourism to hire specific or customised products, make it easy to enjoy a different kind of holiday. You can use your bicycle as your means of transport, all while practising your favourite sport. If your holiday is longer, cultural activities and other outdoor sports (kayak, trekking, canyoning, rock climbing, windsurfing, snorkelling and cultural visits) can complete your unforgettable stay. And lastly, the cuisine. There is no better blend than cycling and the Mediterranean diet, replenishing your strength at top-quality restaurants with an ideal nutritional balance for the athlete, all while enjoying internationally recognised cuisine.
