When people think of Andalusia, they often picture sun-drenched beaches, tapas in a village square, or a cocktail with a view of the sea. But for cyclists, the real magic lies inland. From the charming town of Coín, a landscape unfolds that seems tailor-made for road bikes—and perhaps even more so for gravel bikes: rolling valleys, long climbs, lush vegetation, and endless vistas under a clear blue sky.
Visit Flemish Brabant treats cyclists to no fewer than four challenging road routes totaling 450 km and 600 km of gravel routes. On the road routes, you’ll follow the same roads where Eddy Merckx, Sven Nys, and Remco Evenepoel gained their first cycling experience and did their training rides.
One of the goals of Cyclelive Magazine is to inspire readers to see and experience as much of the world as possible while cycling. By bike, you can explore every nook and cranny in detail while completing training rides or tourist tours at your own level. In my opinion, exploring new roads is just as joyful and addictive as cycling itself. And since 1+1 has always been at least two, it’s also twice as much fun and enjoyment.
