Parvilla Travel started out in 2010 as nothing more than a bike team training camp with some friends. Fourteen years later Parvilla Travel has officially launched as a US based Cycling Tour Operator in association with Rompelberg Cycling Holidays. Our mission is to provide hassle free, memorable destination based cycling vacations for all levels of American and Canadian cyclists. All of our past experience has us concentrated on Mallorca, the most amazing island on earth!
The early trips to Malaga, Spain were focused on small training camps for local racers kicking off their training for the upcoming season. That was quickly outgrown with the need to host larger groups of varying skill and the destination changed to Mallorca. 10 years later, the focus is still Mallorca which has become the epicenter for cycling in Europe. 2019 saw a 7-day trip to Bedouin, France with 3 ascents of Ventoux! 2024 will kick off the first Fall trip and 2025 will see the addition of the Mallorca 312 for advanced riders!
