Randonnée Tours
Spain
Camino de Santiago
Cycling 14 Days
For any traveler interested in history, art, & culture, the Camino de Santiago certainly ranks as one of the most spectacular trips in the world today. From the 10th Century to the present day, pilgrims have come (by foot and now bicycle) from near and far to experience this enigma of Spain. For riders of this trail, you can choose between a paved or off-road route as it threads its way across Spain.
The scenery is breathtaking with lots of cultural and historical sights along the way. For those with the time, we highly recommend that you consider our classic route; we maintain that this journey has the potential to change your life (in good ways). For those wishing a shorter journey we also offer the trip beginning in Leon. On both trips you stay in the best hotels available, ranging from traditional inns to luxurious paradors.
