World Bicycle Day: a new way to travel with abba Bike
Every June 3rd, World Bicycle Day is celebrated, a date promoted by the United Nations to recognize the value of bicycles as a sustainable, healthy, and accessible means of transport. Today, however, bicycles represent much more than mobility: they have become a different way to discover the world, connect with the surroundings, and enjoy authentic experiences.
At a time when tourism is evolving towards more responsible and conscious models, cycling tourism has become one of the fastest-growing travel trends worldwide. Spain, with more than 4 million cycling tourists every year, has established itself as one of the leading destinations for active tourism thanks to its climate, diverse landscapes, and increasingly developed cycling infrastructure.
In this context, abba Bike was born, the commitment of abba Hoteles to offer a specialized experience designed by and for cycling enthusiasts.
More than accommodation: a bike-friendly experience
abba Bike was created with one clear goal: to offer guests a complete experience that combines hospitality, sport, sustainability, and connection with the destination.
This specialized line includes services tailored to the real needs of cyclists, both professionals and amateurs, allowing them to enjoy every route with comfort, safety, and peace of mind. Featured services include:
- Specialized Bike Corner
- High-security bike storage
- Washing area
- Bicycle repair and maintenance workshop
- E-bike charging stations
- Laundry service
- Personalized route information
- Sports massage service
All designed so travelers can focus solely on enjoying the route and the overall experience.
Spain, Europe’s cycling tourism paradise
One of the main attractions of cycling tourism in Spain is its enormous variety of landscapes and routes. From mountain passes to coastal rides and greenways, every destination offers a different way to discover the country.
With more than 300 days of sunshine per year and increasingly adapted infrastructure, Spain has become one of the world’s leading destinations for travelers looking to combine sport, nature, and culture.
At abba Bike, we understand cycling tourism as a more human and meaningful way to travel. Cycling allows travelers to discover small towns, connect with local communities, stop in unique places, and enjoy the scenery at a different pace.
Because traveling by bike is not only about reaching the destination, but also about enjoying the journey.
Hotels ready to ride with you
Today, several properties from abba Hoteles are already part of the abba Bike universe, offering specialized services and strategic locations for cycling lovers.
Among them are:
- abba Burgos
- abba Comillas
- abba Huesca
- abba Xalet Suites
Each of them offers privileged access to mountain routes, road cycling experiences, and family-friendly rides for amateur cyclists as well.
Pedaling towards more sustainable tourism
Commitment to sustainability is part of the DNA of abba Hoteles and is also reflected in the philosophy behind abba Bike.
Choosing cycling tourism helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions, lower noise pollution, and create a positive impact on local economies. It is a more environmentally responsible way of traveling, aligned with the values of “Sostenabbability”, the company’s sustainability project line.
World Bicycle Day is the perfect opportunity to remember that another way of traveling is possible: more active, more conscious, and more connected with people and places.
Because every pedal stroke brings us not only closer to a destination, but also to a different way of understanding travel.
