‘I cycled through flower fields stretching as far as the eye can see’: readers’ favourite European spring breaks | Top 10s

Hard advice: Cycling in the Netherlands is the most quieter flower route

In the Netherlands, Keukenhof is famous near Lisse for the beauty of the lamp fields in the spring. But if you are looking for a cycling holiday away from the crowds, it is better to go 40 miles north to Kop Van Noord-Holland. Here you will find the largest adjacent bulb area in the country. April is the best time to rotate between millions of colored ripples, wild narcissotaus, yellow and lily. Between the two concerns, Den Hilder, Denver and Meddine Mir, you will find flowers as much as the eye can see. I would like to highly recommend the path of sand dunes from Callantsoog to Den Helder. It is easy to ride the mostly packed surfaces and is great for any level of fitness.

Sun and the sea breeze on the paths of the Mayorca coast

Mallorca in the spring is an ideal temperature for coastal walking. I recommend the experience of the eastern coast if you are not before – starting from Cala Domingos and working on your way to Porto Christo, 10 miles north. The terrain is rocky but somewhat flat, easy to walk with good trainers. There are a lot of beautiful cells that must be stopped if you imagine an early retreat at sea, with fewer tourists from the main cities on the island. Sun and SEA Breze is always a winner for me.

Fruits and fruit groves in Tuscany

south Sienathe Crete Sensey The Tuscany region offers a nice smell, which in the spring is the most diverse green shades. The hills are spread with spots of gray white clay that look like small doors in the hills. The fields are filled with abundance of flowers, including several types of wild orchids, and small ponds with frogs that make an entertaining strike. I stayed in the small isolation village from the isolation buffer, where a number of walking tracks intersect. I spent happy days walking in different directions through naked mud fields, Heath and herbal lands, and visited the quiet medieval. Burgi (Villages) such as Cuna, Montroni d’arbia and Buenconvento along the way.

Spring on rocks, Spain

Two years ago, we spent the spring week early in Chullla, a small town that was placed in an area of ​​mountain limestone, about an hour drive from Valencia. We went to climb the rocks, which the city is well known, sitting between the impressive shelf faces that illuminate the gold if you wake up to watch the sunrise, or sit with a beer while the sun sets in the evening. For daytime activities, there are paths to explore them that lead you through the surrounding evidence, with suspended bridges, Azure rivers and rock paintings before date. In the evening, you can relax in restaurants and bars. All, a great place to arrest some warmth away from the winter of the United Kingdom and a little adventure as well.

Utrecht – better than Amsterdam?

Utrecht She is Amsterdam’s wonderful and little sister, fortunately for you, is still under the radar. It is one of the most beautiful traditional cities in Europe, and it is a short train trip from Amsterdam. Think about the streets paved with gravel, beautiful Dutch architecture, and the video card channels sparkle under nightlife. Miffy The Rabbit is the most beloved population in Utrecht. Mific Museum (Best reservation). You will discover a useful silhouette everywhere throughout the city, on giant goals and even in traffic lights. Everyone rotates in Utrecht – the best city was named in both the Netherlands for bikers. There is a lot to explore around the center of the Middle Ages – with a bike or on foot. We loved museums and exhibitions, but it is independent restaurants and strange shops that give UTRECHT a warm sensation of their own.

Bergen, Norway, before the summer crowds

While Bergen FlØibanen The imitated bulli is a must for its comprehensive views, most visitors take their photos at the top of the Mount Fläyen and go back. But if you walk a little in the forest, you will find Skomakerdiet. A calm lake surrounded by pine trees, still in the air of mature springs. At this time of the year, before the arrival of the summer crowds, it looks like a hidden world. We rented a boat and slipped through the glass water, and the only sounds are the soft diving of the oxardians and birds that hesitate through the forest. It is the perfect place to breathe in fresh Norwegian air, only one or two of the forests causing harm.
