6 top cycling vacations for fall

Thanks to the Mediterranean climate cycling the Dalmatian Coast is perfect at any time of the year. But as the fall begins you’ll still find pleasantly warm weather to accompany you on your rides, and a coastal breeze to keep you cool. Crowds in Croatia will dwindle throughout the season, giving you plenty of choice when it comes to waterfront bars and restaurants. While October has an average temperature of around 18 degrees celsius, you’ll still be able to enjoy a refreshing dip in the ocean or a wander along a quiet beach.

Murcia boasts pleasant temperatures and reliable sunshine throughout autumn after the hot days of summer have passed, making it idyllic for cycling. As you cycle Southern Spain, riding on peaceful backroads and breathtaking landscapes, soak up the sun-drenched orchards and villages along the way. Finally, after a busy day sightseeing from the saddle, spend the evening strolling a quaint plaza, or indulge in delicious traditional Spanish tapas.

Morocco’s hot season draws to a close in October, with fall bringing a more comfortable temperature that’s perfect for cycling. On this moderate grade cycling tour of Morocco, set off in the heart of the Atlas Mountains where you’ll bike to the impressive fortified village of Ait Ben Haddou, that was on the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakesh. Later in the trip, you’ll swap your bike for a camel and embark on a journey into the desert, passing sand dunes of up to 150 metres.
