Do it yourself. I've been on more than 40 bike tours and have always done it myself. It's much
cheaper, I imagine. I've been to Spain many times. It is one of my three favourite places for
touring, the other 2 being Ireland and Scotland.Some tips.
Don't go the Southern Spain or central Spain in mid-summer as you'll fry.

We've had a couple of good trips with EUROCYCLE. They are much cheaper than going through an
American company. The English version of their website is at
eurocycle.atenglindex.htmlOpen ↗. We've used their rental bikes which were fine for
trips along the rivers.But next time we go to Europe we will go self-supported with our own bikes. Cheaper yet and the
small pensions are really charming and a neat way to meet ordinary people.Ron Friedel

Journal and pictures are at my web site www.thebest.net/drbob/ The name of the company is
Iberocycle. If you read my journal I believe that you will find the trip meats your specs very well.
Good luck.--
