WARM CYCLING SUGGESTIONS JAN/FEB

Post by chickenlegs »

Has anyone suggestions for cycling somewhere warm in late January early February for one or two weeks?
Am trying to escape the worst of the British weather! :(

Criteria are:-
1) Preferably self catering accommodation to keep cost down.
2) Somewhere warm, have looked at Majorca, but looks as if it can be quite rainy at that time
of the year and temps only seem to hover around 10C
3) Somewhere where their are other interests near by or in the vicinity e.g. Museums, Scenery,
Architectural interest etc. Will probably hire a car for a few days.
4) Reasonable and cheap flying distance from the UK. i.e. Easy Jet or Ryanair
5) Regarding (4) above airlines that will take bikes at a reasonable charge. However it may be
cheaper and easier to hire bikes??

Any help, suggestions, thoughts or advice would be welcome.

We went to Morocco a few years ago in early February for a 17 day break. The High Atlas are just south of Marrakech. We went over the Tizi n Test pass and then on to the coast before heading over the Anti-Atlas and then back to the coast to Essaouira. The weather was great, the scenery beautiful and the cost very reasonable. I know EasyJet send their planes down to Morocco.
