About Me — Álvaro García

Cyclist. Guide. Route designer. Local soul.

I was born and raised in the heart of Castilla, surrounded by quiet roads, wheat fields, vineyards, small villages and landscapes that only reveal their beauty if you take the time to look.

I’ve spent more than 10 years in the bike world — working with premium brands, riding across Spain, designing routes, supporting athletes and learning what makes a ride unforgettable.

But Ride the Real Spain is not a business idea. It’s a calling.

I created this project because I wanted to bring people to the Spain I know: the one behind the postcards, behind the clichés, behind the busy tourist routes. The real Spain — the one of silence, authenticity, local food, wine, ancient paths and human warmth.

A truly great cycling tour is personal, small, real and emotional.

I guide every tour myself. I choose the roads, the hotels, the wineries, the villages and the people we meet. And I treat every rider not as a client… but as someone I’m inviting into my home.

If you have questions, worries, special needs or dreams about what your perfect cycling journey should be, I’m here. Tell me your level, your style, your dates, your vibe — I will build the right journey for you.

Slow roads. Deep landscapes. Real Spain.

That’s what I want to share with you.
