Meeting up for a group ride in an unknown area

Hi there,
Let's say you're on a holiday in a foreign country, and you have your bike with you. Instead of riding alone every day you would like to meet up for a group ride with some like-minded people, for example other vacationers in the same area. If so, what do you do? Where do you go?
I'm wondering if any of you ever feels this need. Currently I'm on holiday and I would like to ride with other people, but I have no clue where to find them. I'm also specifically not looking for a guided tour.
Regards,
Jorrit

As for where to meet, somewhere central and busy.

Checking Strava for people who currently rode a segment seems like option no 1. LBS works in populated areas like Mallorca or Gran Canaria I think, but I'm currently in the middle of nowhere in Luxemburg. Not many bike shops around.
I was thinking about something like this. What would your stance be towards a platform that helps you meet up with strangers for a group ride in an area unknown to you?
too much risk of getting stuck with a bunch of nobbers/milemuncher
