Base Cities

Where to Ride in Spain

The best base city in each cycling region — your launchpad for the local climbs and routes.

Mallorca

Alcúdia

On Mallorca's northern coast, Alcúdia is a spring-training staple with the flat plains of Es Pla on one side and the Serra de Tramuntana on the other. The Cap de Formentor lighthouse road and the climb to Lluc are signature rides, all under reliably warm island sun.

Costa Blanca

Altea

Altea offers relaxed Costa Blanca riding with the Coll de Rates and the inland Guadalest valley on the doorstep and the sea always in view. Rolling terrain, warm winters and quiet back roads make it a mellower alternative to nearby Calpe.

Basque Country

Bilbao

Bilbao is Basque cycling distilled — short, savagely steep climbs like the Vivero and Pike rise straight out of the city, and the Grand Départ of the 2023 Tour showcased the green, walled-in terrain. Expect wet-slick tarmac, punchy gradients and a passionate cycling culture.

Girona

Girona

Girona is the adopted home of the professional peloton, and it shows in the riding: the climb to Rocacorba, the Els Àngels loop, the Costa Brava coast roads and a dense web of gravel through the Gavarres. Warm weather, quiet lanes and cyclist-friendly cafés make it Europe's most popular training base.
