    hi all,
    I am looking for suggestions for a 6 to 7 day cycle tour in Europe in late March / early April. Either point to point or a loop .

    It is early in the year so weather is an issue. Also given it is early in the year a lot of flights arent running yet.

    direct flights from Dublin a big attraction.

    Sardina is my first thought..
    Any bright sparks here have any suggestions??

    Mallorca is great place to cycle. Weather should be good. Cycle full loop of island.

    Sicily also, but doesn't has same infrastructure/bike rental as Mallorca. It does have Etna though! Wild dogs are plentiful too!

    Go to Malaga. Head east towards Nerja, north to Granada, west towards Seville and drop back down to Costa del Sol at Ronda towards Estepona, Marbella or even back to Malaga depending on your time.

    That time of the year I'd be thinking of something like this too, OP could even look at flying into Malaga and flying home from Murcia or Alicante 400/450km in 6/7 days should be doable.

    Andalucia, perfect time of year for it, I cycled Faro to Mallaga via Seville and Ronda and loved it. Maybe Hang around Ronda for a day or two, some great cycling around there, or try squeeze in Granada too.

    I'd also definitely recommend Andalucia. I went in October. I started in Malaga, headed north and hooked up with the GR7 hiking trail (all off road). I went over the Sierra Navarra mountains (3,300 metres :) ) to Granada and looped back to Malaga. It took me 6 days.

    There are tons of wild camping spots.

    Here's some photos I took of the trip:
