About the Ruta de Don Quijote

May 2025

‘We vonden het een mooie tocht met afwisselende landschappen. Bijzonder is dat, eens onderweg met de fietsen, we geen andere toeristen zijn tegengekomen. De routes zijn zeer autoluw en de onverharde paden prima te fietsen. Hotels en casas rurales waren van uitstekend niveau’

A beautiful bike tour with varied landscapes. Remarkable is that, once en route with the bikes, we didn’t see any other tourists. The roads are very quiet and the unsurfaced lanes easy to cycle. Hotels and rural accommodations of very good quality.

We have done several guided and self-guided bike tours all over the world and Raul’s Ruta de Don Quijote is a real standout. Support, bikes and accommodations were perfect and the scenery was lovely. We had wonderful moments at the villa by the lakes and during the wine cellars visit. This is great value and a truly marvelous, happy adventure.

“In een woord, fantastisch: super goed georganiseerd, goede fietsen en mooie routes met goede afwisseling van stukjes op landwegen en paden en autowegen, wat gezien de beperkte auto’s, eigenlijk als een breed fietspad kunnen worden aangemerkt. De accommodaties en service overtroffen alle verwachtingen!”

In one word, fantastic: super good organised, good bicycles and beautiful routes with nice variation of bits of unsurfaced paths and regular roads which, given the few cars, actually could be seen as wide cycle lanes. The overnight addresses and service exceeded all expectations!

“Mooie tocht door karakteristiek landschap van La Mancha. Uitstekende huurfietsen die lekker rijden. De afwisseling in de overnachtingsplekken was leuk. Dank voor het prima regelen van alles!”

Beautiful tour through characteristic La Mancha landscape. Excellent rental bikes which rode smoothly. The variation in the overnight addresses was nice and fun. Thanks for the good organization!

A great way to explore La Mancha. The routes follow the Don Quijote trail and take you through some lovely countryside, especially around the Ruidera lakes. The roads and tracks were always quiet making for very comfortable cycling. Accommodation of a very good standard – we could not have wanted more.

We loved this bike trip. The blend of culture, accommodations and scenery exceeded all our expectations. One of the highlights was the private tour of wine caves in Tomelloso, with a warm welcome by the owners and sampling of delicious wines.

Varied scenery and roads. Nice locations. We enjoyed the peaceful nature around us. Good idea to include some quotes from Don Quijote in the appropiate places of the route description.

We wholeheartedly recommend this tour!
