Extremadura Bike Tours

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN CYCLING IN EXTREMADURA

Lying along the border with Portugal, Extremadura boasts exceptional natural beauty. One of the best places in Spain to experience gorgeous scenery and rare wildlife, this is a side to the country not many get to see. The towns here are both old and beautiful, nestled between picturesque peaks and lying hidden amongst huge natural parks. Whilst cycling in Extremadura, you’ll spot proud castles overlooking charming villages and scenery that will leave you awestruck.

Extremadura boasts delicious food with a focus on tradition and authenticity. Thanks to the abundant oak trees producing acorns for feed, the black pigs raised here are known to create some of the most delicious jamón ibérico (Iberian ham) which you can enjoy at almost any tapas bar, with a crisp glass of beer.

From the Gredos Mountains to the Monfragüe National Park, the beauty of Extremadura is unmatched. Home to some amazing species of birds, birdwatchers are well rewarded when pedalling through this wild and authentic region.

The Monfragüe National Park is known for two imposing peaks, cut in half by a river flowing between them, where vultures and eagles circle above.

Jamón Ibérico

Although jamón ibérico is associated with all of Iberia, it’s in Extremadura that the most delicious ham is made. Thinly sliced and bursting with flavour in every bite, this is the perfect gift to bring back to friends and family, or save it for yourself! Alongside the abundant and delicious pork products, the cuisine of the region offers so much. A strong culture around sharing food with others has meant many of the dishes here are designed to be enjoyed by the whole group together.
