Hotel/Meals

The Hotel - also used by such pro teams as ONCE when they race in the area.

The camp's hotel is situated just outside Vitoria on the border of the scenic Gorbeia Nature Park. This is much more convenient for training because you are quickly out of town and surrounded by ideal training routes. Each room in the hotel has two double beds, private toilet/shower, and satellite TV with complete live coverage of all major cycling races. The Euskaltel and ONCE teams periodically stay at this hotel when attending races in the area.

Breakfast is a typical European continental breakfast consisting of croissants, toast, juice, and coffee. Lunch and dinner are very filling and come with two entrees, dessert, and coffee. Red table wine and bottled mineral water are also included in these meals. These meals are ideal for satisfying hungry appetites after a day of riding.

Each room will be shared with another rider or your non-cycling guest if one is coming with you. Individual rooms are available on a space available basis only for an extra $24/night.

Directly across the street from the hotel is a bus stop where you can catch a bus to Vitoria, San Sabastián, Bilbao, Madrid, Pamplona or virtually any other place you want to go. Transfers may be required to get to many cities.
