Spain isn't just about golden beaches and warm weather! In fact, it's a fantastic spot for your winter cycling ventures! The southeastern coast boasts an average temperature of 15-20 degrees in April - perfect for a spring cycling escape. Smooth tarmac, little rainfall, and professional teams practicing for the season make this place an ideal cycling destination.

The renowned town of Calp, located in the southeast corner of Spain, is a popular winter training hotspot. Professionals and amateurs alike flock here to soak up the sun and clock in those early-season miles. Calp is 15k away from the main cycling region which is where Cycle Retreats bases itself so you get the very best of the cycling experience, without the 15k slop in and out of Calp. Cycle Retreats offers a boutique hotel experience right in the center of this cycling region - imagine a ski to door experience but for cycling! If you want to know more about the local climbs then see our blog Marina Alta cycling climbs.

April can be a challenging month for your cycling fitness,  but don't worry! We always run 2 groups during this time, so you can either push your limits or cruise comfortably as you build your confidence and fitness throughout the week. You'll walk away from an April Retreat raring to get back on the bike and get a jumpstart on your UK season. We've got a couple of retreats with availability in April:

• 20th-27th April
• 27th -4th May.

These retreats provide everything you need for a perfect week of cycling, including airport transfers, accommodation, hearty breakfast and all evening meals, plus our riders fridge always stocked with drink and snacks and if that wasn't enough, we even do your laundry. The combination of perfect climate and location makes spring cycling in this region a must-try. So, why not join us for an unforgettable cycling experience?
