Andalusia · 7 days · From GBP 795 (indicative)
A typical day is built around a guided road or gravel ride, with the route and distance set to the group and the coaching plan. The roads around Turre and Mojácar are notably quiet, and the riding takes in sierra switchbacks, valley roads and the coast, including a gravel rail bed and old rail tunnels near Turre. The Alto de Velefique is the headline climb of the area.
Across the week there are three coaching presentations — training zones, nutrition and technique — and every guest gets an individual 1-to-1 consultation with Prof. Richard Davison, personalised to their physiology and goals. That combination of daily riding plus off-bike teaching is what separates the week from a guided cycling holiday.
Accommodation is at Casa Davar, a restored traditional Spanish townhouse in the heart of Turre village with a shared lounge, dining room and kitchen, sleeping up to five guests. Larger group camps use the Marina Playa Hotel in Mojácar, the official headquarters of the Belgian Cycling Federation, which has dedicated bike facilities, workshop space and secure storage; those larger camps are priced separately.
Getting there is via Alicante (ALC), served daily from UK airports. Flights are not included, and an optional return airport transfer is £70 per person. Bike hire is available on request.
The spring 2027 camps run back to back: 8–15 March and 15–22 March, each seven nights, timed to line up with Monday direct flights from Glasgow. Booking is by enquiry — you send your details, the team confirms availability and your room choice, and a £200 deposit secures your place, with the balance due eight weeks before the camp.
