Overview

The Camino de Santiago isn’t just a walk—it’s a rite of passage. Follow ancient paths through misty forests and stone-clad villages, swap stories with fellow pilgrims and chase the glow of Compostela. Explore the paths crossing the Castilian farmlands, through El Bierzo’s lush wine valleys and along Galicia’s rugged coastline. The ancient pilgrimage route along the Camino de Santiago is a quintessential example of how active travel provides a great way to slow down to see the world. Hike around the most legendary parts of the Camino. Be stunned by Galicia via O Cebreiro—the passage through the mountains of "Serra de Ranadoiro." Follow forest tracks leading to medieval villages of Boente and Ribadiso. Discover one of Gaudi’s architectural masterpieces in Astorga, and be amazed by the gothic cathedral in Leon, a city of lively streets and delightful dishes. The ancient pilgrimage route along the Camino de Santiago is a quintessential example of how cycling provides a great way to slow down to see the world. You'll take in a portion of this route (the full version stretches its way all over Europe). Our portion features many challenging up-hill sections, which will make its flatter sections more rewarding. The route of the Camino leads to the shrine of the apostle St. James in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia—a historical region and autonomous community. Famous for its green landscapes and wooded valleys, wild beaches and lighthouses, Galicia is one of Spain’s best-kept secrets. Here, you’ll discover the area’s Celtic and Roman roots, enjoy authentic Galician life in the mountains and watch the sunset in fisherman’s towns by the sea.
