Almond ice cream is considered the Majorca flavor “par excellence”. It is often made according to old family recipes and served in Majorcan cuisine with a gató (an almond cake). Almonds are one of the most important ingredients of Majorcan agriculture.

Spain is, after California, the largest almond producer, and so the almond ice cream is very appreciated by locals and tourists. Try for yourself this delicious ice cream, for example, the Majorca Loop Tour - the great loop bike tour or during the Majorca with Charm tour.

Stracciatella ice cream in Italy

Bella Italia is just a few pedal pushes away. Italy is the land of pasta, pizza, and picturesque landscapes. Our cycling holidays in Italy promise pure vacation feeling and offer the perfect combination of active vacations and relaxation phases.

During the rest periods, you can take in the sights of the cities at your leisure, enjoy the picturesque landscapes and lick a delicious ice cream. Particularly popular in Italy: The Stracciatella flavour.

This delicious type of ice cream was invented in 1961 by a pastry chef in Bergamo. The same name is also used for a Roman-Tuscan soup in which raw egg is stirred, creating egg flakes in the broth that resemble chocolate chips in the ice cream. The term stracciatella, by the way, comes from the Italian "stracciare," which means "to tear." Melted chocolate is added to the finished milk ice cream, and once the chocolate is frozen, stirring it in the ice cream maker breaks it into shards. To us, this combination reminds us of summer, sun and sea and enriches your cycling vacation.

Ice coffee in Austria

Not ice cream in the traditional sense, but still very popular in Austria: ice coffee. For whoever does not know it, the Viennese coffee house culture is characterized by a very special atmosphere.
