Overview

The Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James) is a journey that has been undertaken since almost 12 centuries ago, by pilgrims that came then from every corner of Europe and nowadays by travelers from all over the world. It is a route with so many attractions that it should undoubtedly be included in every bike rider’s wish list. Today, the itinerary goes far beyond its religious original meaning. In its almost 800 kilometers (497 miles) through the country, the route changes constantly, going through different regions and diverse Spanish provinces. While traversing the many different regions of Spain, you will find great cultural contrasts in every aspect: people’s traditions and customs, architectural, gastronomic and scenic.
Following the “yellow arrow” that indicates the right way, will take you to discover amazing places, old and fascinating churches, and breathtaking landscapes; it will also give you the chance to try the tasty and diverse gastronomy and wines of all the regions the route goes through. These reasons make this an exciting trip, and that is why we have strived to provide you with the opportunity to enjoy the typical cuisine and wines from each region at the end of every day.
The great feeling of arriving at the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral will be a memory to take with you forever. It will certainly be a moment to appreciate and understand the deep spiritual sense you have probably heard about.
In Spain you can find many ways of Santiago that come from almost any corner of the Iberian peninsula. That we offer you this time is the French camino, the most common and followed by most of the people.
As an addition, if you wish, we can help you to complete the experience going up to Finisterre, or the finis Terrae, as the Romans called the end of the Earth, following 90 kilometers (56 miles) on a hilly path, to complete the three actions by which the ancient pilgrims purified their souls at the wild and beautiful Langosteira Beach: bath in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, burn the clothes worn during the pilgrimage, and watch the sunset.
