The trip "Cycle The Camino De Santiago" starts in Leon and ends in Santiago De Compostela. It is a bicycle tour that takes 8 days taking you through Palas De Rei, Molinaseca, Leon and 4 other destinations in Spain. "Cycle The Camino De Santiago" is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation in hotels, meals and others.

The Camino de Santiago de Compostela runs across northern Spain, originating in the Galicia region where the tomb of the apostle James the Great was discovered in the ninth century. Also known as the Way of Saint James, it is marked by a scallop shell symbol and the joining grooves are said to represent the many different routes pilgrims take to reach Santiago. The gothic cathedrals, medieval monasteries and miles of beautiful rural scenery make this section of the ancient route so popular.

‘Muy bueno Camino’ on two wheels

A tough and rewarding pilgrimage through the spectacular Galician scenery. Some great food and drink, and many laughs with a group of like-minded cyclists.
