Overview

Exclusive and fun cycling camps in La Costa Daurada, Catalonia, Spain, designed for private groups seeking top-notch facilities and local expert cycling coaches. It can be customized. Tina from Lifesparkz Bike Tours acts as the tour organizer and local contact point, joining some rides as an extra tour leader if the group's level is appropriate. Rides include 4 days into beautiful mountains with local certified bike guides, covering climbs, forests, and rolling hills full of wine, with insights into local villages. The tours pass through the Priorat wine districts, known for high-quality wines. Groups are limited to a maximum of 10 people per guide, with a service car following along. Routes and distances are adjusted according to participants' experience, catering to experienced road cyclists with options for specific challenges from elite-level coaches.
