We love travelling by Bike
Maggi Jones (Canadian) and Geoff Norris (British, Portuguese) created Cycling Country because of their passion of bike touring, having adventure cycled in most continents around the world. Now settled full time in Spain, it has been their greatest pleasure to live and cycle there with its beautiful landscape and people, superb climate and strong cycling heritage.

Socks Lost
Call it Dedication
When traveling ourselves, we always ask, “how can we use this journey to make our trips even better?”
For us it’s all about exploring, learning and being committed to cycling which makes us love what we do.
HIGHLIGHTS
There have been so many high points (not just tops of hills!) and good times. Fantastic memories of all the people we’ve met and places we’ve shared together.
Our Story
Cycling Country was born from dreams made cycling touring across Europe into Asia, and independently travelling 65 countries. Doing what inspires them, Cycling Country set up base in the medieval Spanish village of Alhama de Granada in 2003. From here, they organise and run their tours. A remarkable place to live and cycle.
