The Aitana Tour 2027 is a five-day coached cycling experience running 26–30 May 2027 from the Albir Playa Hotel & Spa in Albir, Alicante province. The riding is on Costa Blanca roads, including climbs used by professional teams for training camps. Each ride is guided, with route guidance and coaching from Paul Mill and the elitecycling team.
Paul Mill is a British Cycling Level 3 coach and was head coach at Team Wiggins. He has organised cycling trips from the UK for more than 15 years, running holidays in both Spain and France. That background is the reason the days are structured rather than loose: you get a coach on the road, not just a route file.
The Costa Blanca base is the practical draw. The hotel is four-star with a spa, and the operator describes the days as sun-drenched café rides paired with the region's iconic climbs. Evenings are at the hotel rather than in a remote mountain hut, which means a proper bed and a spa after a day in the hills.
This is one of several trips the operator runs. The same team also runs a Pyrenees training holiday from the Grand Hotel Gallia & Londres in Lourdes, where the riding includes the Col du Tourmalet and the Col d'Aspin. If you want mountains rather than coastal roads, that is the alternative.
Bike hire is available from the operator's fleet kept at the Albir Playa, which removes the hassle of flying with a bike box. The operator also runs corporate cycling away days and shorter weekend breaks for smaller groups, but the Aitana Tour is the fixed-date May trip.
