For your Vuelta Espana cycling experience, we offer one exceptional accommodation package, staying in the heart of the Sierra Nevada National Park. It’s a truly special setting — peaceful, scenic, and perfectly placed for a Tour of Spain week of riding, relaxing, and enjoying the dramatic landscapes of Andalusia.

Your hotel combines mountain tranquillity with warm Spanish hospitality, giving you a comfortable and welcoming base throughout your stay. With sweeping views of the surrounding peaks and valleys, it’s the ideal place to unwind after each day’s adventure, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and enjoy the slower rhythm of life in this remarkable region.

From here, you’re perfectly positioned to explore both the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada and the cultural richness of nearby Granada. Whether you choose to wander the quiet mountain paths, enjoy a coffee on the terrace, or visit the historic heart of the city, your stay offers the best of both worlds — nature at your doorstep and Andalusian charm within easy reach.

With our one‑location stay, you can settle in, unpack once, and savour the week without transfers or packing. A serene mountain retreat, and the perfect home for your Vuelta Espana cycling vacation.

5 Star Hotel Granada Palace Sierra Nevada National Park

Great cycling and great Tour of Spain race‑viewing deserves great food — and Andalusia delivers it with colour, flavour, and a wonderfully relaxed Spanish rhythm. Your Vuelta a Espana experience begins with a welcoming first‑night dinner, a warm introduction to the cuisine and hospitality of the Sierra Nevada region.

During your ride and race‑viewing days, we facilitate pastelería stops en‑route, where you can enjoy our favourites — a Pinos or an Alpujarran pastry — along with a café to keep the energy high and the blood sugar steady as we follow the race.

Across the week, you’ll enjoy three handpicked Andalusian lunches, each chosen to complement the day’s riding and race‑viewing. Expect relaxed, regional dishes that celebrate the flavours of southern Spain — fresh, vibrant, and full of character.

At the end of your Vuelta week, we come together for a relaxed celebration dinner, a chance to share stories, relive the best race moments, and enjoy one final evening in this spectacular mountain setting.

For your convenience, your Sierra Nevada hotel provides wonderful dinners nightly, offering a generous taste of local Andalusian cooking without needing to venture far after a full day of adventure.

Between these hosted meals, Spain invites you to discover your own favourites. A few must‑try classics include:
Spanish tapas — the perfect way to sample a little of everything
Paella — rich, colourful, and deeply satisfying
Gazpacho — cool, refreshing, and ideal in the Andalusian sun
Las habas con jamón — broad beans with local cured ham
Jamón serrano — dry‑cured, intensely flavoured, and a regional treasure
And of course, the popular local drink: sherry

Whether you prefer a relaxed post‑ride meal or something a little more indulgent, Andalusia offers a delicious blend of tradition, simplicity, and bold flavour — the perfect complement to your Vuelta Espana cycling holiday.

Please note that drinks are not included in this tour package.

Whether you bring your own bike or prefer to hire one, we make the process smooth and effortless. Our hire bikes are expertly maintained, perfectly suited to the Tour of Spain cycling terrain, and set up for you with care so you can enjoy every curve in the road with confidence.

If you’re travelling with your own bike, we’re here to help with assembly, adjustments, and daily support. Each ride includes a support vehicle, carrying everything you might need — including extra layers — so you can focus entirely on the road ahead.

We also provide sports drinks and nutritional bars each day to keep you fuelled throughout the week.

What our discerning cycling guests had to say about their Vuelta a Espana bike tours with PB

We did the Vuelta with Practice Bicycle, it was great! To not move hotels between the stages, the ride support was incredible, great spots on race route they put us a local restaurants to eat & drink whilst enjoying the atmosphere, the small group allowed flexibility and a personal touch to our cycling vacation. Mike – USA

Thankyou for encouraging me to ride outside my comfort zone! Delicious food, too much to eat. Really did enjoy the conversation, the scenery, the coffee stops, only unpacking once! I appreciate the personal attention you provide. Beth – USA

Thanks for the great tour! It is obvious you put a huge amount of effort into arranging great restaurants, lodging, and race viewing spots. We of course had more food than we could eat, and it was all great and we definitely wanted to experience the local cuisine.
