Our Holiday Types

Portugal

Portugal is one of the best places for cycling in April, with mild Atlantic weather and quiet spring roads. Ride the Algarve’s coastal cliffs, follow rivers from Minho to Porto, explore the Atlantic Coast, or cycle the Camino Portugués Coastal and Central Ways toward Santiago. Inland, the Douro Valley’s vineyards begin turning green, while the Rota Vicentina offers rugged coastal landscapes and peaceful villages.

Spain

Spain offers some of the best cycle routes in April, with warm spring temperatures and quieter roads. Cycle Mediterranean landscapes in Catalonia, ride through white villages and olive groves in Andalucía, or explore wine country in La Rioja. Our Paradores routes combine scenic countryside cycling with stays in Spain’s historic state-run hotels.

France

France is ideal for April cycling, with mild weather and quiet countryside routes. Ride vineyard roads around Bordeaux, follow tree-lined paths along the Canal du Midi, or explore the château-dotted Loire Valley. Spring also suits cycling in the Dordogne’s historic villages and the fragrant countryside of Provence before the summer crowds arrive.
