Gran Fondo Alberto Contador 2026 Packages Now Available from Blanca Bikes

We’re excited to officially launch our Gran Fondo Alberto Contador 2026 Cycling Holiday Packages (book here https://blancabikes.com/costa-blanca-cycling-sportive/ ), giving riders the chance to experience one of Spain’s most iconic cycling sportives with full support from the Blanca Bikes team.

Taking place on 19th September 2026 in Oliva Nova, Valencia, the Gran Fondo Alberto Contador has become one of the standout events on the Spanish cycling calendar. Every year, riders from across Europe head to the Costa Blanca to take on the challenging route, enjoy the atmosphere, and ride some of the best roads in Spain.

At Blanca Bikes, we wanted to create a package that removes the stress and allows riders to focus purely on enjoying the experience. That’s why we’ve put together complete cycling holiday packages including accommodation, airport transfers, event entry, Cervélo bike hire, and transport to and from the event itself.

We’re offering 3-night, 5-night, and 7-night packages, with accommodation available in Calpe, Denia, or Javea. Whether you’re planning a quick cycling break or a full week riding the Costa Blanca, we’ve got an option to suit you.

Our packages start from just €749 per person, based on two people sharing a twin room, and include everything needed for a smooth and enjoyable trip. Riders will also have access to our premium fleet of Cervélo road bikes throughout their stay, professionally prepared and ready to ride from day one.

As part of the holiday, guests will also be able to join our Calpe Cycling Club ride on Sunday 20th September, followed by a guided ride on Monday 21st September. These rides are a fantastic opportunity to explore more of the region, meet fellow cyclists, and enjoy the incredible roads the Costa Blanca is famous for.

The Gran Fondo Alberto Contador itself offers a fully supported event experience, with closed roads, mechanical assistance, feed stations, timing services, and the official event jersey included as part of registration. Combined with the scenery and atmosphere of the Costa Blanca, it’s easy to see why the event continues to grow year after year.

We’ve already seen strong interest in these packages, particularly from cycling clubs and returning customers who have ridden with us before. With accommodation and event places expected to fill quickly, we’d encourage anyone interested to get in touch sooner rather than later. From the moment you land at Alicante or Valencia Airport to your final ride with us, our team will handle the logistics so you can simply enjoy the cycling.

We can’t wait to welcome riders from across Europe for what promises to be another fantastic week on the Costa Blanca.

Blanca Bikes now have a cafe, workshop and rental centre in Parcent. I've been to the cafe a couple of times and the food is excellent as is the coffee. I was there again today and arrived in need of help as I had just crashed off my bike and was bleeding, sore, and with a rather broken bike. The staff were phenomenal, I didn't need to ask for help, they came to the rescue as soon as they saw my state (which wasn't terrible). A first Aid kit was quickly made available as was a comfortable place to recover. Coffee was brought to me, more staff came to offer assistance. The mechanic, who was about to finish for the day came to check over my bike. The rear mech had been pushed into the spokes and neither wheel was spinning properly. He quickly fixed all these issues. I had arranged for my partner to come pick me up and when the mechanic saw us starting to dismantle the bike to get it in the car, he rushed over to help us again, neatly packing it in for us. Sometimes it takes a little crisis to realise and remember there are some wonderful people in this world, today I was reminded of this. A very big thank you to all at Blanca Bikes :-)

Great stay here for 2 weeks. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Blancabikes looked after me and very well and took care of all my needs. This is a brilliant place to come to for training, and only being a 5 minute ride from the coast, you have all the cafes and restaurants you could ask for. I would seriously recommend to anyone looking a cycling getaway.

What a great place to rent a bicycle at Blanca Bikes to explore the area around Xabia (Javéa)! Perfect bikes of very high quality (I rented the Cervélo Solist Rival). And I very much liked the professionalism and kindness of Nigel who helped me getting this unforgettable experience!

We used Bianca bikes for a transfer from Alicante to Calpe, 4 people with 4 bike boxes. Super slick, the driver was waiting for us in arrivals at the airport and we were straight into the private bus parked outside. They even helped us with a mechanical in Parcent on our last day free of charge. Thank you.

This was my first experience on a bike camp and I would recommend Blanca Bikes for anyone interested in a great cycling adventure. The staff was great, breakfast every morning was world class, and the cycling in the Xabia area is world class.

Unreal 3 days riding with Blanca! A very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, something for everyone. We were a group of 4 medium / keen cyclists and couldn’t have been better - some stupidly nice routes around the area, the bikes we were given the best bikes we’ve ever ridden and the breakfast in the morning sorted us right out. Couldn’t recommend this enough! Cheers to Nigel Peter and the rest of the team for sorting us out
