Shelley and Mark are the owners and managers of Cycle Catalan, and live in the beautiful coastal town of Palamos.  After 15 years of taking part in numerous cycling, walking and running holidays, they decided to take the plunge and follow their dream of living and working in Spain.

Mark is a keen road cyclist, runner, swimmer, and Ironman triathlete.  Shelley is a keen runner, marathon runner, duathlete, personal trainer and group fitness instructor.   Their combined knowledge of cycling, running and organisational experience means they can work with you to create your perfect holiday.

They will both be in regular contact with you from your first enquiry to the day you return home, paying close attention to every detail to ensure your holiday is exactly what you have asked for.

Our promise

Our cycling and walking holidays attract people from all over the world who are looking for a bit of exercise and relaxation, comfortable accommodation, good food and wine and an opportunity to experience local culture. Our in depth knowledge of the area ensures that we meet your expectations and more!

Supporting Responsible Tourism

Preserving the environment and supporting our community is of paramount importance to our cycling and walking tours.We believe that experiencing local culture makes a holiday memorable and worthwhile. The best way to discover the paths and old roads used for hundred of years by travellers, pilgrims, shepherds and the odd smuggler is by bike or on foot.
 
This is an environmentally friendly holiday, so tread lightly! Should you decide to book with us we will send you over some guidelines on how to minimise the impact of your holiday in an environment renowned for it’s natural beauty and how to maximise your positive contribution to the community by visits to local producers, supporting small family run restaurants, purchasing local goods from the markets and participating in the local festivals.
We feel very lucky to live in such a beautiful place and would like the opportunity to share our love and knowledge of Catalonia with like minded travellers.

Why we love it

We have created the perfect cycling or walking holiday which will incorporate all the things we love most about living here.

The wild flowers in Spring, the miles of unspoilt coastline, the lush farmland, the orchards, the fantastic seafood, the local wines, the perfectly preserved medieval villages, the local markets, the festivals, and of course the weather which enables you to sit in the square with a coffee and watch the world go by.

Twenty years from now we shall be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than the ones you did do

Mark Twain
