S A N S E BA

to BARC E

Travel the Iberian Peninsula by bike taking in all that Northern Spain has to offer. This cycle route is a mix of days cycling beside the foothills of the Pyreenes to riding across the plains!

Departing from Dublin on Sunday 20th July, we will fly to Biarritz and travel to our hotel in San Sebastian. The following morning we will begin the first of five days cycling through beautiful Basque style towns and villages, before spending our second night in Pamplona, famous for its charm and the running of the bulls festival!

From here, we leave the city following the river Elorz and take in some very scenic views of mountains before following the edge of the Embalse de Yesa, a welcoming large man-made lake.

Leaving Murillo de Gallego, the stunning vertical monolith rock formations of the Mallos de Riglos give way to a gentler terrain as we cross the steppe plains of the central lowlands of Aragon. This is a region with many unique heritage sites from the middle ages that are evident in the small towns and villages we cycle

through. Once again Pyrenean Mountains provide a wonderful backdrop as we enter Catalonia.

As our destination approaches, we enjoy further changes in the landscape as forested roads and the Catalan precoastal range falls away to reveal the sparkling Mediterranean and the striking architecture of Barcelona.

You will be cycling a total of 556km (ex. climbs) or 606km (incl. climbs) over the five days, while raising vital funds for the Irish Hospice Foundation’s work to ensure that everyone in need has access to hospice care.

There will be options along the way for those who are keen and capable cyclists to tackle the Pyreenes and take on the Vuelta climb and the Coll de Jou, before arriving into our final destination – the beautiful Barcelona.

You can then look out onto the Mediterranean and soak up the atmosphere as you contemplate the challenge you have just achieved and conquered!

A BIT ABOUT CYCLING SAFARIS We enlist the help of the fantastic team at Cycling Safaris to plan our route and manage all aspects of our cycle for the entire duration of the trip.

2

Cycling Safaris have been organising bike tours in the west coast of Ireland since 1989. Since then they have expanded their cycling holidays to cover the length and breadth of Ireland as well as numerous locations all over Europe. The Irish Hospice Foundation has been working with Cycling Safaris from the beginning of our annual cycling challenges back in 2009. This San Sebastian to Barcelona cycle will be our 9th adventure with them and we are very pleased to have them on the team again.

San Sebastian to Barcelona Cycle 2014 The challenge is to ride from one coast to the other, essentially from San Sebastian on the Bay of Biscay to Barcelona on the Mediterranean. Although not flat, the basic route sticks to the foothills of the Pyrenees and does not seek out any great climbs. The route in fact mixes days of being beside the mountains to riding across the plains. As always, we do cater for thrill seekers amongst us and there are options for the more experienced cyclists looking for a greater challenge to tackle some hillier terrain in the Pyrenees. Although, perhaps not as well known as the Tour de France climbs, the Vuelta still offers an exciting cycling experience and features some challenging climbs!

ITINERARY DAY 1 SUN July 20

Dublin to Biarritz

We set off from Dublin Airport for the short flight to Biarritz.

On arrival you will be collected from the airport and transfered (1hr 25mins) to our hotel in San Sebastian by coach. You will be reunited with your bike at the hotel as all bikes will have been shipped from Dublin by Cycling Safaris. Known as Donostia in Basque, San Sebastian is probably one of the most wonderful cities in Europe. The fabulous Playa de la Concha Beach sweeps around in a curve separated from the lush surrounding countryside by a cosmopolitan old town. It is in the old town that the famous local Pintxo can be tried.

DAY 2 MON July 21

San Sebastian to Pamplona - 110kms

A challenging day ahead as we leave sea level and follow the rio Urumea into the surrounding hills passing the Parque Natural de Aiako Harria where pine trees of the park offer passer-by’s some cool shade. Those looking for some optional afternoon climbs can take on El Hachueta, from the Vuelta at 12km long and an average gradient of 7.4%.

Our resting place that evening is Pamplona. It is known the world over for its running of the bulls festival. But once the madness of San Fermins is over then Pamplona is a charming city with great food and friendly people. It is the first main city on the Way of St James (Camino de Santiago) and has a beautiful medieval centre, historic citadel and many parks.

DAY 3 TUE July 22

DAY 4 WED July 23

Huesca to Balaguer - 127km

Leaving Huesca we follow some tranquil backroads across the plains that link together a number of small medieval villages. Our Lunch stop is Monzon, notable for its castle belonging to the Knights Templar. As we cycle on the arid like landscape starts to give way to the mountains of Lleida. Balaguer is our destination point for day 4, and has much to offer.

There is a wonderful atmosphere here as Balaguer offers a unique heritage and boasts a Moorish Quarter, Jewish Quarter and medieval quarter as well as a gothic cathedral.

DAY 5 THU July 24

Balaguer to Cardona - 98kms

Another climbing option is on offer today for those wishing to tackle the Coll de Jou. At 6km it is not the longest climb, but it is 7.9% average. There are also two climbs to get to the start, so an additional 1100metres and 45km are added to the day making it a very challenging but satisfying climb. The town of Cardona is a wonderful historic place boasting a spectacular castle originally constructed in the 9th century. This castle is also the stunning Parador Hotel and our accommodation for the night!

DAY 6 FRI July 25

Cardona to Barcelona - 108km

Pamplona to Huesca - 113kms/163kms

We leave the city following the river Elorz. Along this road, we will take in some beautiful mountainous scenery before following the edge of the Embalse de Yesa, a large man made lake. Our route then heads through the village of Murrilo offering great views of the spectacular conglomerate rock formations of the Mallos de Riglos. Our destination is Huesca, a charming medieval town with a lovely cathedral.

The last day sees us venture into the Sant Llorenç del Munt i l’Obac national park. Here there is a wonderful backdrop of mountain scenery and forested roads. And as gradually the mountains give way to foothills, we lose elevation and start to pick up views of our final destination as the city of Barcelona opens up before us!

Find out the difference you can make in one week…

We at the Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF) need your help to ensure that everyone has access to hospice care when and where they need it. We believe that this is a right. However, the reality is quite different. Sadly, access to hospice services in Ireland today largely depends on where you live, and your illness. We are working to change this and we can’t do it without your help – but together we can do it.

This July (20th – 26th), cycle across Spain from ocean to sea (San Sebastian to Barcelona), all the while raising vital funds for the IHF’s Nurses for Night Care service.

Quite often people die in a setting that is not their first choice.

Currently 66% of us would choose to die at home if given a choice, but the truth is that only 25% of us actually do so at present.

We are trying to change this!

The IHF’s Nurses for Night Care is a free service that provides night time nursing care in the home to people with diseases other than cancer who are at the end of their lives. This service enables more people to fulfil their wish to die at home with dignity.

Nurses for Night Care works across Ireland, reaching every county.

The Nurses for Night Care service facilitates, where possible, people’s choice to die at home. Night time can be a vulnerable time for people who are at the end of life and families, with fewer services available to them. But our service maintains the continuity of care that this person has experienced during the day, supported by the palliative home care team and surrounded by family.

These nurses stay in the home throughout the night, providing nursing care, practical support and reassurance to both the person with the life limiting disease and their family. The service is a very significant support in providing respite for families, as they in turn care for their loved one at what can be a very difficult time.

The demand for this service is increasing yearly, and in order to fund the service in 2014 we must raise €410,000! With your help we can continue to increase our fundraising and reach our target for this vital programme.

For more information on the work

By signing up for the San Sebastian to Barcelona cycle you can help us make a difference.

please visit our website

Each day spent in the saddle will mean at least one night of comfort and reassurance for a those nearing the end of life and their family.

The amount raised by each cyclist (after costs) will fund six nights of night time care.
