Today I was on the roundabout by the commercial centre, a group of about 10 bicycles came down from the Pueblo and ran strait onto the roundabout without slowing down causing me to brake vehicles coming onto a roundabout have to give way to vehicles from the right is this not the rule for bicycles

In the U.K. give way to vehicles entering from the right. In Spain give way to vehicles entering from the left.

A group of cyclists is seen as one vehicle, so if the lead cyclist has entered the roundabout, the others can also enter it. I discovered this when living in Mallorca where herds of cyclists are a scourge at certain times of years....
