March Social – Cycling on the Costa Blanca with Blanca Bikes

Its fast approaching our busiest time of the year for cycling camps, cycling groups, short cycling breaks and of course our road bike hire so we thought we would take this opportunity to share some of the social stuff that’s been going on here at Blanca Bikes Base Camp to get you inspired to join us. Firstly, we have been working closely with APEX Coaching & Consulting to incorporate their professionally prepared 12-week Cycling Training Plan into our cycling holidays packages here on Spain’s Costa Blanca. When you book a cycling holiday in Spain with us, you can now choose to have the training plan as part of your holiday package.

We have also completed a deal with the restaurant next door to our javea cycling accommodation, Bandita Chuleria, so we can now offer fantastic local cuisine in the evenings for those looking for an easy feasting option after a long day in the saddle. Don’t forget, groups can also arrange to dine at our hotel and experience one of our famous paella nights or explore the plentiful local restaurants and tapas bars Javea has to offer.

We were also delighted to host Espresso Cycle Coaching at the end of February and we enjoyed some fantastic cycling weather around the quiet roads of the Costa Blanca. Day 2 ride saw the crew head over to the iconic Col de Rates to have a crack at a PR on the climb, setting off in 3 groups to help draw the best out of each other! Great effort by all and they even got a wee treat at the cafe for their efforts! A bit colder so the hot tub and a massage was welcomed back at Blanca Bikes Base Camp before the paella party began!

We also received a delivery of new road bikes from Moda. Ooh the joys of getting a new bike build. Thank you, team, at Moda Bikes for letting us try their amazing bikes out before they go on the market, we really enjoyed taking them out for a spin .

Last minute availability . We still have limited availability for April and May for our cycling camps and cycling breaks so contact us ASAP if you fancy a last minute dash to the sunny Costa Blanca for some early season cycling- places are becoming limited, so hurry !

We just rent two bikes there for two days. They were to be honest not the cheapest, but made the most professional impression. But 1st, the bikes are really not comparable to the ones from competitors as they're much better. And 2nd they delivered with service. From the first contact which was very responsive and nice, over issues that we faced during the rental (flat tire, can happen) they handed us a self repair kit upfront and were always there and assisted us. As they have multiple shops nearby, you could also step in there if you face issues during your ride. Totally recommend them.

Used for bike hire. Excellent pre hire service to help me book correct size bike. Perfect on both pickup and drop off. Also stopped in Calpe shop for spares which was great.

Fantastic 3 night stay with my son at the Blanca Bikes accomodation in Javea. Comfortable room, great breakfast to fuel up for start of day. Well maintained bikes ready when we arrived along with route suggestions from Luke. Could not have been easier arranging transfers from Alicante, accomodation and bikes for the short getaway - one stop shop - thanks to Heidi and team. We will be back!

There's only so long you can ride the same old wrecked roads in the same grim winter weather, so Blanca Bikes offered a chance to escape Glasgow. Run by a former Scottish racer and staffed with people who know what bike riders are looking for, it's a great set-up in the old part of Javea, close to great food spots. From quality Cervelo bike hire to a big breakfast, an airy room and route advice or guiding, you're not left wanting for anything. I was left wondering why it's taken me so long to get to the Costa Blanca and see how incredibly slow I am compared to Tadej Pogacar on the coll de Rates. Can't be beaten – Blanca bikes, not Pogacar...

Rented three Cervélo road bikes from Blanca Bikes for a cycling trip to Calpe and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. All the bikes were in excellent condition — clearly well maintained and ready to ride straight away. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful throughout. Special shout‑out to Richard, who sorted me out with a couple of cleat bolts and made a few tweaks to my bike setup that made a real difference. We also visited their café in Parcent, which is absolutely worth the stop if you’re heading over to the Col de Rates. Great coffee, tasty sandwiches, and loads of outdoor space to relax in before or after the climb. Highly recommended for both bike hire and a great café stop.
