Discover Spain
In Spain, the concept of la vida buena—the good life—is a driving force. Richly layered cultures thrive here among sweeping landscapes that inspired Cervantes, Dalí, and Hemingway. The jagged cliffs of the Costa Brava spill into the Mediterranean. Sun-kissed white villages and Moorish castles laze under Andalusian skies. Lively traditions and cuisines embody the robust beauty of Basque country. On a VBT Spain bike tour, you’ll find that the good life is the best life as you slow down and experience Spain to its fullest.
From the mind-bending architecture of Gaudí in Barcelona to the world-class galleries of Madrid that play home to masterpieces by Goya, Picasso and other iconic Spanish artists, Spain’s cities are an art lover’s dream. The sprawling Alhambra in Granada, the otherworldly spires of La Sagrada Familia that have been under construction for over a century in Barcelona, Cordoba’s unparalleled Mezquita—the seemingly endless wealth of cultural attractions is almost overwhelming.
Equally expansive is Spain’s famed cuisine. From tapas shared with friends in a casual bar to a five course meal in a Michelin-starred restaurant, there’s a wealth of flavors to be discovered throughout the many regions of this gastronomic paradise. Whether you’re sampling fresh pressed olive oil or sipping wine in a centuries-old cellar, your tastebuds will never be bored on a Spain bike tour.
Country Highlights
- Explore beautiful Pamplona and enjoy the weekly juevintxo event, a Thursday-night feast of tapas.
- Peek into the personal life of artist Salvador Dalí during a visit to his home at Púbol Castle.
- Explore the famed Alhambra Palace, a breathtaking architectural wonder.
- Follow trails on the Way of St. James, an 800-km stretch of path used by pilgrims.
Spanish Art
Explore the surreal Dalí Theater and Museum in Figueres, wander the seemingly endless halls of the Museo del Prado (which houses over 8,600 paintings and 700 sculptures), or take a leisurely stroll in Gaudí’s Park Güell. In Spain art is all around you, as are the remarkable landscapes that inspired these masters.
Flamenco
Take in a Flamenco performance or try your hand at this traditional style of dance. Evocative, passionate, and mesmerizing, this iconic art form is a must see while in Andalucia, its region of origin. Since the 18th century, locals and visitors alike have been entranced by the beauty of Flamenco music and its beautiful dance accompaniment.
Food and Wine
Paella in Valencia, gazpacho in Andalucia, patatas bravas in Madrid… Spain’s cuisine varies from region to region, but is invariably delicious and rooted in local produce and traditional recipes. Sample olive oil on a family farm or partake in a wine tasting in an ancient cellar to further your appreciation of the finer aspects of Spanish cuisine.

Roman has lead VBT adventures for more than 10 years. He calls Andalusia home and raised his four children there. He loves to introduce travelers to local foods like potaje which are often overlooked by tourists.
This was our first VBT and it will not be our last! We loved the self-guided trip through quaint medieval villages, quiet country lanes, mountain climbs in the foothills of the Pre-Pyrenees, apple orchards, to the beautiful shores of the Mediterranean. We had a great group of 7 travelers we met up with along the path, and for many dinners. We choose the self-guided because we wanted to go at our own pace. Our local hosts were amazing and always a phone call or text away! We made the right choice by going with the E-bikes! We had never tried them before, and they were amazing!
Spain: Barcelona & Costa Brava
We were a group of 8 (most of whom knew each other) which was a perfect size. The biggest problem was that when we tried to leave Barcelona for Girona, the train track was under construction and therefore no train could get to Girona. It meant two subway changes to get to another train station and ultimately to Girona. It happened to be my 73rd birthday, and included way too much schlepping of luggage up and down multiple staircases etc, we all were grumpy, but finally reached our destination. Wish VBT could have forewarned us of that We had only one mechanical support need, but other wise all the bikes were great. And for the hill out of Girona the eBikes were much appreciated. We loved the places to stay, but one thing to suggest is that we back-tracked on the route which seemed like you were just trying to add to the mileage for a day --- can't remember where that was, but perhaps another option is possible. My husband and I did the extra ride out of LaFranc and thank god for the eBike because it was VERY steep but so worth it. THanks for the suggestion. We loved the trip
