2000 km road cycling tourism routes across Spain

Types of road

The roads are mainly quiet minor roads with little or hardly any traffic along which pedaling a bike is a sporting pleasure for the senses. However, there are also some sections along regional and national roads and connections to dual carriageways: in general, but not always, these roads have a generous hard shoulder. Our cycling tourist guides are available for free download and inform you about each road on your route: its name, the quality of the surface, traffic density and hard shoulder.

Type of bicycle

The cycling tourist routes are suitable to cyclists with all kinds of bikes: from road to all-terrain. In our opinion, the bikes best suited to these routes are the gravel´s and the touring bikes (also called trekking, or hybrid) owing to their versatility:

• In comparison with mountain bikes, touring and gravel bikes are faster, especially on flats and downhill sections.
• They are more comfortable than racing bikes when the road surface is in bad condition or wet, but they also let tourists change over to the mountain bike routes (MTB): many sections are very easy and comfortable for trekking bikes, which will let you ride through incredible countryside and avoid the roads you don't want to travel on.

Singular roads

Owing to their attractiveness for pedaling or their countryside, historical or artistic heritage, some roads have earned the title of ‘Singular Road' after an assessment by experts and travelers. Find them on each route. Don't miss them!
