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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Cycle Touring in Spain, 3 Jun 2003
By A Customer
An excellent book, clearly written with just about everything the touring cyclist needs to know: before he leaves home. The routes are well detailed including maps and, most importantly, very accurate contour information - vital for anyone setting out to cycle in the mountains.

The routes chosen are challenging but not too daunting for the weekend cyclist. They offer splendid views and the opportunity to meet local people and enjoy their way of life.

Places to stay and/or eat are detailed along with points of interest along the way.

A thorough guide (and a great read) to cycling in this very velo-friendly country.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Review of Cycle Touring in Spain, 4 Aug 2003
By Anonn (Middlesbrough United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is an extremely useful book: the content is excellent and it's small enough to slip into your cycling-top pocket.

The introduction contains everything you'll need to know when contemplating and planning a cycling trip abroad, from preparing / packing your bike to the best local cakes to eat 'en route'.

The routes are very well described with height gains, distance covered and valuable meteorological information included as well. Where and when to stay information is comprehensive, with accurate budgetary prices included. The photos are inspirational and have convinced me to book next year.

In short, an excellent, comprehensive book. You need take no other.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but a bit dated, 27 Oct 2008
By A. Sime (Isle of Skye) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Used for a tour round Madrid last month, book is very good and useful but the detail is getting a bit dated. Roads now becoming motorways with no bike allowed and no alternative route being a problem.
