Does anyone have experience of this site. We are going there in the spring and are wondering if it is worth taking our bikes. We are not very confident cyclists and try to keep to bike tracks and bike lanes. As far as I can tell from Google Earth most journeys to nearby towns and beaches will be on the road. (We have been spoiled by our trips to the Loire and the Landes regions where there are superb cycling networks)

Thank you all for your prompt replies. On balance I think we may save the weight and space (small 2 berth van) and leave them until the summer when we are off to the Loire and Landes.

As other have said, it probably depends on your own confidence level..we did cycle into Lago a couple of times and westwards to Burgau where you can use the M537 which isn't too busy, perhaps give it a try and see how it goes.

you're right though, we get spoiled in many parts of France and Spain with super quiet roads and tracks but if you have a car then you'll be fine...

Hi.

I know this discussion was about cycling, but I’m hoping some of you can help me with regard to the best pitches on the site, in terms of location/space etc. I’ve looked at reviews on other sites and whilst most are good , others  say that there are some  small pitches which wouldn’t accommodate a mid sized van. I have a swift challenger 540…. 7.19 metres long. 
I’m considering booking a 6-8 week holiday , early next year, maybe from mid feb. Not sure about the weather there at that time, and if staying for a longer period I’d like a decent pitch. 
Any of your experiences , recommendations and advice is welcomed.

thanks
