Camino de Santiago Bespoke

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 of which stretches its way all over Europe. Our portion features many challenging up-hill sections, which will make its flatter sections more rewarding. Along the way, you'll view some of the pilgrimage’s most notable sites, including the Puerta del Perdón, the Cruz de Ferro (Iron Cross), a Benedictine monastery in Samos and the Catedral de Santiago.

Hike around legendary Roncesvalles, 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. Puente la Reina’s iconic six-arched medieval bridge is a star attraction, and its strategic location unlocks historical Estella, a city of lively markets and delightful dishes. Spend a couple of nights in religious mecca at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Santiago De Compostela, chocked with impressive churches, monasteries and historic palaces. 

Uncover the myths, mysteries and legends that capture the Camino, like the early history of pilgrims who were attracted to routes that followed the Milky Way. Discover why the scallop shell is such an iconic symbol, the significance of the yellow arrows and why pilgrims burn their shoes at the end of their journeys. Take part in traditional ceremonies honouring patron saints and toast new friends over superb regional specialties.
