Spain Mountain Biking 10 Days -
Spain
Trace the steps of ancient travellers, add your place in the history books, and join us as we make
our way along the legendary Camino de Santiago to the burial place of the apostle St. James. This
is a gently paced tour in a land of miracles, mysteries and legends. Following quiet roads and well surfaced
tracks, we enjoy the warmth of the Spanish sunshine as we cycle in hillsides alongside
the Cantabrian Mountains.
For over eleven centuries pilgrims have followed this ancient route to
Santiago de Compostela through the rolling Galician hills – a land of idyllic hamlets, incredible
Gothic cathedrals and tranquil Romanesque monasteries. During our journey, you will hear of King
Charlemagne and St. Francis of Assissi and the stories of medieval hero El Cid, as we ride the
paths once taken by the Templar Knights. Amongst the many highlights during this classic route
are the stunning cathedrals of Leon and Santiago and the Celtic huts (pallozas) of Cebreiro and
the great camaraderie of fellow travellers you will meet on the route. Accommodation is in small
hotels, chosen for their location and quality. Breakfasts are taken at the accommodation, lunches
picnic style, and evening meals at local restaurants allowing you to sample the delicious regional
cuisine.
As with all of our tours, a well equipped support vehicle is never far away, should you need
a snack or a lift on a particular section of the route.
