1. Booking Confirmation and Deposit

To confirm your cycling holiday in southern Spain, a non-refundable deposit of €300 per person or 35% of the total cost (whichever is greater) must be paid at the time of booking. Bookings made within ten (12) weeks of the tour start date require full payment at the time of booking.

3. Amendments by the Client

You may request to amend your booking in writing. Any changes are subject to availability and approval by the Company. We may apply an administrative fee. Changes requested within 14 days of the scheduled departure will be treated as a cancellation, and cancellation charges (see below) will apply.

Amendments to holiday dates are only possible within the same cycling season and are subject to availability on our Granada or Malaga-based cycling tours.

Cancellations must be made in writing by the person who booked the tour. The following cancellation charges apply:

  • Fewer than 70 days: 100% of total cost.
