A lot of riders like to go abroad for at least a week a year to cycle. But if you go cycling in Spain, do you choose the Costa Blanca or Mallorca? Mallorca is well known by many tourists when it comes to cycling in Spain. However, that does not mean that the Costa Blanca is not at least as attractive.
We notice on our Social media like Instagram that we have a lot of followers that are really enthusiastic Triathletes. For that we have been searching for the Agenda for the Triathlon Costa Blanca 2020. As we are in Spain, nothing is confirmed yet. But to give you any idea, the plan is to have several distances on Sunday 12th of April in Benidorm. It´s called the TriWhiteCup.
Clichés are there because it is true: The Coll de Rates is an extremely popular mountain to climb on a road bike. This mountain is certainly not the toughest nor the steepest climb on the Costa Blanca. Yet it is one of the best known and famous mountains. Cyclists from all over Europe come to undertake this climb throughout the year. Do you also have plans to meet this challenge? Then book your Carbon Stevens Ventoux Disc Ultegra (Di2) here.
That this mountain is still a favorite is easy to explain. The Coll de Rates can be driven from two sides. This makes it easy to reach from just about all holiday destinations on the Costa Blanca. For that reason, this climb is included in a number of routes on our Strava account. You´ll find them – as well as other influenced climbs – on Strava.com and search for Allure Bike Rental.
Travelling with your bike takes a lot of effort, and money. We believe there are more benefits of renting a bike from us than bringing your own. The question is: rent a road bike in Alfas del Pi Costa Blanca or bring your own bike?

Summer has started again and for many it means more time to cycle! But cycling in warm weather entails a number of challenges. The chance of dehydration is real. Also a reduction in performance and sometimes, unfortunately, overheating. Two cyclists in France and one in the Netherlands recently died when the temperature reached around 40-45 degrees Celsius. Fortunately this does not happen often to riders, but athletes in general should take precautions in warm weather. Since here on the Costa Blanca we are used to a little bit of sun, high temperatures and humidity, we give some tips to get well prepared. And then decide: cycling or not in warm weather! Read More
Many customers ask us if we know beautiful cycling routes that they can cycle during their holiday in Spain. Of course! Since we discovered Strava thanks to a customer, a route world has opened up for us. Strava can be used anywhere in the world, including in Spain.
While cycling through the beautiful nature of the Costa Blanca North you discover completely different trees and / or plants per season. Many regions in Spain have their own specialty in terms of trees and plants that grow there. For one reason, that has to do with the fertile soil type and the climate, but often it has more economic reasons.
In recent months we have looked at what our customers would like extra during their holiday on the Costa Blanca. By talking to our customers, we are getting more and more information about the wishes and goals of our cyclists. For some of them it is a total concept, of which the guided bike rides Costa Blanca form an important basis.
