Cambrils is a beautiful year round cycling destination with hotels and resorts who welcome cyclists with open arms. Professional teams such as Giant Alpecin and Team 3M use Cambrils Park Resort as a winter training base. It is situated 10 mins from Reus airport and 1hr from Barcelona airport, Ryanair run regular flights to Reus so it is easily accessible to the Irish market. The facilities are excellent with no stone left unturned such as bike wash areas, secure storage, full or half board focussing on healthy nutrition and with gym, sauna & jacuzzi areas to recover after a long cycle.
The geography of the region itself is absolutely spectacular with beautiful villages perched on hilltops off in the distance. The roads are very quiet and smooth as the area is unspoilt by tourism once you venture inland. Cambrils itself is a coastal town with a beach that seems to go on forever and the climate is very nice with very low annual rainfall.
There are three Cyclo-tourism companies in Cambrils – Cycling Costa Daurada http://cyclingcostadaurada.com/index.php/en/ – Natura Esport http://www.natura-esport.com/ – Mediterrania Cycling Tours http://www.mediterraniacyclingtours.com/. What is refreshing about these companies is rather than being in competition with each other they work together and share business. For example if one of them is booked out they will find out if one of the others are free and pass the clients on. If big groups are arriving they will pool resources to provide guides and support vehicles. Their rates are very competitive when compared to other destinations in Spain. They offer bike hire services with carbon Trek Madone Road bikes and also Mountain bikes available. There are amazing trails in the hills surrounding Cambrils if you want to go Off-road.
