These regions live and breath cycling and the locals love the cycle tourist or club cyclist taking their cycling  holiday there. Apart from the crystal blue seas giving wonderful coastal rides there is the green lush hinterland behind the coastal resorts.  Here in spring you get peach blossom and wild roses and in autumn the first truffles and chestnuts.
