What is the weather going to be like?
Early fall is a great time to be in the Cantabria and Basque regions of Spain. Days are sunny and mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid 70s to the mid 80s. Nights can be cooler, dropping to the mid 50s to mid 60s. Pack a warm jacket or sweater for the evenings. Our journey will take us over high mountain peaks, where weather will be unpredictable. It is best to be prepared for variable conditions, as weather can change very quickly. There is always the chance of precipitation. We recommend always traveling with rain gear and breathable layers to provide warmth and protection when the temperature drops.

What are the daily rides like?

On all of our vacations, Trek Travel strives to find quiet, paved secondary roads or bike paths to experience a region; busy roads are avoided as much as possible. Vuelta a España is best suited for our Type 3 Riders. Our Trek Travel guides can also easily accommodate Type 2 Riders, who seek less mileage or fewer uphills, with a boost in the van. Type 4 Riders will enjoy the extra mileage the avid route options offer. The terrain is See Itinerary for specific daily ride distance and elevation options.

What are the options for a non-rider travel companion?
This destination is best suited to guests who want to cycle every day. Because of the terrain and/or remoteness of the hotels and riding routes, there are few, if any, non-riding options available. If a non-rider wants to accompany a rider guest on this trip, they would need to spend many hours in the van and/or at the hotels on the trip. Due to this, we strongly discourage non-riders from this destination.

As an alternative, call a Trek Travel Trip Consultant at 866.464.8735 for trip suggestions where more non-rider activities are available, such as Mallorca, Costa Brava, or Provence.
