Set off on a tailored cycling getaway in Gandia with Ciclos Benavent’s lightweight Scott Aspect bike. From 1 to 10 days, ride through coastal cliffs, pine forests, and quiet trails perfect for all skill levels.
Gandia, located on Spain's sun-drenched Mediterranean coast in the Valencia region, offers a compelling backdrop for cyclists who want to combine seaside charm with rugged outdoor terrain. Ciclos Benavent presents an adaptable cycling adventure for riders keen on navigating from quick day trips to multi-day journeys lasting up to ten days. Their offering centers around the Bici Scott Aspect in size M/L, a lightweight aluminum mountain bike that balances efficiency with rugged durability—ideal for the Mediterranean terrain interspersed with coastal trails, rolling hills, and historic pathways.
Cyclists can customize their ride with a choice between Shimano SPD clipless pedals or traditional flat pedals, ensuring the experience suits both casual riders and seasoned pedalers. The region around Gandia features a unique mix of landscapes: pine forests give way to limestone cliffs and sandy beaches, creating diverse microenvironments to pedal through. This variety introduces riders to native Mediterranean flora such as Aleppo pines and wild rosemary, and fauna including birds like the Iberian magpie.
Ciclos Benavent’s location puts riders near some lesser-explored local trails that stray from the typical tourist routes, offering genuine immersion in Valencian outdoor life. These include rural backroads and forested singletracks that border natural parks, giving the sense of discovery paired with physical challenge.
What makes Ciclos Benavent stand out is their commitment to personalized adventure. Whether you're a solo traveler or a group, their flexible trip durations and tailored equipment options provide a perfect fit for a range of skill levels. Gandia's temperate climate extends the riding season and the town itself supports cyclists with local eateries, fresh markets, and welcoming accommodations. For anyone looking to break away from the beach crowds and dive into Spain’s natural playground on two wheels, Ciclos Benavent offers an inviting gateway.
