Costa Blanca Packing List
For the ride
Cycling kit (pack three): Please pack three full kits. While laundry services are available, we want to ensure you have enough gear for riding. Wearing the provided Rêverie kit is completely optional—if your own tried-and-true kit is more comfortable, please feel free to bring and wear that instead.
Cycling shoes: Pack these in carry-on luggage. A broken in pair of shoes is hard to replace.
Head unit: We have plenty of mounts for Garmin and Wahoo. We'll find out before the tour which you need.
Helmet + Sunglasses.
Pedals: Rental bikes do not come with pedals. Plus, it’s important that clipping in feels familiar for safety reasons—whether that’s Look, Shimano, Speedplay, etc. (Disregard this if you’re bringing your own bike!)
Saddle: While the bikes do, indeed, have saddles, this is simply a recommendation to ensure total comfort. (Disregard this if you’re bringing your own bike!)
Layers for the bike: Base layer, arm warmers, knee/leg warmers, vest, windbreaker and/or and rain shell, just in case. Because the weather can shift quickly in the mountains or on descents, you will definitely want flexible layers for the bike.
Off-bike / Social
"Casual-Chic" Attire: For going out to a meal or walking into town for tapas or happy hour. Think khaki pants, nice denim, linen pants if the weather is warm, and polos, blouses, button-ups, etc.
Layers (Sweatshirts, flannels, jackets, and long-sleeve shirts): While villa rooms feature individually controlled AC and heating, most open into a central courtyard and the property features outdoor dining and seating areas. We highly recommend packing comfortable lounge pants, along with sweatshirts, jackets, and layers for the crisp mornings and evenings.
Walking shoes/tennis shoes: There are peaceful, countryside walks near our villa and the town is slightly less than a kilometer away. You may also want shoes for off-the-bike activities and/or beach day as there is a nice walking path by the shore.
Swimwear: Our accommodations will have a pool and we will spend one day by the beach, weather permitting, so please bring swimwear if you plan to sunbathe or get in the water. (Heads up, it may be chilly!)
For Spain
Universal power adapter: specifically type C/F (two-prong round).
