Cycling holiday or family holiday in Spain?

Holiday in Spain.

It is at the end of May when friends of ours come from the Netherlands arrive at our plot to stay with their camper. This time he doesn´t have to rent a bicycle yet because they brought their own city bikes as well and of course his road bike. With the family consisting of husband, wife and small child, they drove through France in 2.5 days with their camper.
