I've had a couple of people enquiring about our apartment in Spain with a view to using it for training trips (I went with two mates the first week in March and the weather was fantastic).
The apartment is in the coastal urbanisation of Rio Mar, Torre de la Horadada, about 45 minutes south of Alicante Airport (or 10 mins north of Murcia San Javier Airport). It's a 1-bedroom apartment which sleeps, in reality, three adults (there's a double bed in the bedroom, and a double sofa bed and single pull-out bed in the living room). It's air conditioned and has access to a shared pool, and is only 10 minutes' walk from the local beach. There are also a number of local bars and restaurants close by, although the resort itself is pretty quiet.
If you wanted to use the apartment for a trip you'd need to fly your own bike out there- about £25 - 30 each way with regular flights from Leeds with Jet2 and Ryan Air, plus lots from Manchester with those two plus Easy Jet. There are plenty of road maps at the apartment and I can provide some info and directions on rides varying from 25 to 100 miles plus. The roads are really nice to ride and the traffic is not a problem (motorists like cyclists out there!). I can even put you in touch with the secretary of the local cycling club (cc horadada) if you fancy getting out with the locals.
If anyone is interested I have a website www.riomarapartment.co.uk it's a little out of date, but I can't work out how to update it!
Prices per week are on the site, however there will be a discount for club members!
If anyone is interested in renting either PM me or contact me on 07806626130.
