Hydrate and carry extra water
Even on an easy route, Spanish inland sun dries you out—bring a 1–2L bottle or hydration pack and refill at the support vehicle.
Use sun protection
Wide-open vineyard lanes mean long sun exposure—apply SPF, wear a brimmed cap under your helmet and UV sunglasses.
Choose tires for gravel
Some sections are compacted dirt or gravel—wider tires (28mm+) or an e-bike with wider tires improve comfort and control.
Pace for tasting
Ride conservatively before the winery visit so you can enjoy multiple samples and the post-ride meal comfortably.
Helmet
Mandatory for safety on mixed road and gravel sections.
Water bottle or hydration pack
Keeps you hydrated through long sunny stretches between refill points.
