Product Description
Product Description
With an agreeable climate, Western Europe's greatest wilderness areas, unmatched flora and fauna, and a history stretching back beyond civilisation, Spain, with its friendly people and readily available accommodation, makes an outstanding destination for the cycle tourist. This guide contains the hard-won practical information needed by cyclists who wish to independently tour Spain, including when and where to go, how to get there, how to get around, accommodation, passports, visas and insurance, money and banks, bicycle considerations, living on the road and points of arrival. In addition to the practical information, eight routes are described in detail and illustrated with maps, profiles and accommodation lists. The routes vary in difficulty, being suitable for novice through to keen cyclists, and are described in five to twelve daily stages with options to shorten, extend or go off road as the cyclist wishes.
About the Author
Harry Dowdell learned to cycle at the age of three and has not been without a bicycle since. His first cycle tour, with friends while still at school, was around the North Yorkshire Moors staying in youth hostels at Wheeldale and Whitby. After a lengthy break, when the bike was used only for commuting, he restarted cycle touring round south-west Ireland then France. Harry's cycle touring in Spain started in Andalucia, and subsequent visits have taken in most of the country. During these tours he collected positional data en route using a GPS and a bike computer, took notes and drew sketch maps. This information was the basis for the maps, profiles and text that appear in this book. Harry continues to cycle regularly in Spain, North Yorkshire and Scotland. He lives in Nidderdale with Liz, and pays the bills by working as a purchasing consultant.
