What a great cycling break in Javea! Having hired a bike from Peter before, I knew they would be of a high standard and wasn’t disappointed.
Excellent accommodation in the beautiful old town with easy access to a wide variety of eateries.
So well looked after at the hotel by Carolina and out on the road by Peter.
It was good getting their full attention and can easily imagine a larger group having great fun after some sunny cycling

I had a excellent week cycling with Blanca Bikes. The hotel is in a great old town location, very comfortable and with a substantial breakfast. The hired bike was in perfect condition. Peter guided us on 4 beautiful and challenging routes. If you are a keen cyclist wanting to explore Costa Blanca and the surrounding hills, then I would highly recommend!

Peter is a very knowledgeable cyclist and a nice guy too! Bikes are lovely - rented an orbea M20 or M30 with ultegra. Great frame, climbed fantastically, really impressed with the set up and how well maintained everything was. Highly recommended for cyclists keen to explore a stunning area on excellent kit.
