This guide contains the hard-won practical information needed by cyclists who wish to tour Spain independently, including when and where to go, how to get there, how to get around, accommodation, passports, visas and insurance, money and banks, bicycle considerations, living on the road and points of arrival. In addition to the practical information eight routes are described in detail and illustrated with maps, profiles and accommodation lists. The routes vary in difficulty, being suitable for novice through to keen cyclists, and are described in five to 12 daily stages with options to shorten, extend or go off road as the cyclist wishes.
