Wine & Paella from Dramatic Gorges to Mediterranean Beaches
Between the fabled cities of Madrid and Valencia there is a mystical land. One that exists in cyclists’ dreams. Medieval towns perched atop dramatic gorges. Rock formations of curious shapes and labyrinthine Moorish caves that hold centuries-old stories. Superb wines, paella and the lulling waves of the warm Mediterranean ground you in the moment. In this place. And now you know: utopia is within reach.
Highlights
- Discover the preserved medieval city of Cuenca, with its arresting position high above the gorges of the Huécar and Júcar Rivers
- Bike through Alicante and Costa Blanca, from limestone cliffs and woodland to whitewashed villages overlooking the sea
- Savor authentic paella in vibrant Valencia, the birthplace of this beloved dish
- Marvel at whimsical rock formations in Ciudad Encantada, including the Sea of Stone and the Mushrooms

Itinerary

Days 1-2
Meet in vibrant Madrid, Spain’s modern capital • Get a taste of the beautiful Castilian countryside on a ride through its agricultural heart • The approach to the World Heritage City of Cuenca—with its sublime perch between two river gorges—is nothing short of jaw-dropping • Enjoy spectacular views of the city and the gravity-defying Casas Colgadas during a welcome reception on the patio of our hotel, a restored 16th-century convent • Bike along a stunning tranquil road into the Sierra de Cuenca and through the karst landscape and cork oak forest within the river gorge • Stop for lunch and exploration in Ciudad Encantada, an extraordinary outdoor rock “museum” created by natural forces • Savor dinner and free time in charming Cuenca.

Nights 1-2
Boasting the “best views of the city,” this restored Dominican convent is now a dreamy hotel with infusions of grandeur and an enviable location. (pool)

Day 3
Spin along gently rolling hills and past vineyards to the colorful Alforins wine region, known as the “Tuscany” of Valencia • Enjoy a memorable visit to a local winery and learn how grape varietals and traditional winemaking techniques have helped elevate Valencia to a terroir of note • In the stunning village of Bocairent, discover the unique Covetes dels Moros, a collection of caves built into the rock face that date back to the 10th and 11th centuries.

Night 3
Settle in at this restored farmhouse situated amid lush manicured gardens, orchards and walking paths. (pool, spa)

Days 4-6
A spectacular route takes you from lush woodland, dramatic limestone formations, ravines and river gorges to crisp white Mediterranean villages nestled into the mountains of Alicante on the Costa Blanca • Similarities between Valencia and Mallorca are striking—their locations along different parts of the same mountain system explain why • The region's smooth roads, beautiful terrain and temperate climate make it popular with professional and recreational cyclists alike • Climb to the mountaintop village of Guadalest, a Moorish city dating to the 11th century • A cobbled street lined with flower-bedecked whitewashed houses leads to the town’s most prominent feature, Castell de Guadalest • Unwind at our paradisiacal hotel, whose modular architecture reflects and complements its natural surroundings • Soak up grand scenery on a smooth rolling ride through pretty villages to a hilltop town overlooking the coastline • In picturesque Dénia, indulge in paella by the sea—nothing compares to the original! • The stunning blue-green color of the Guadalest reservoir is a sight you won’t soon forget from our final ride.

Nights 4-5
The landscape itself dictated the design of this award-winning sustainable luxury hotel with modular buildings set among trees, terraces of olive trees and nature trails. (pool, spa)
