The whole route has been divided into
34 cycling stages and 8 rest days in Monte Perdido
National Park, San Sebastián, Picos de Europa, Santiago
de Compostela, Porto, Lisboa, Sevilla and Córdoba. We have
included 2 short and easy stages so that you have the
opportunity to visit interesting places like Bilbao and
Coimbra.
The cycling days have mostly the same schedule : a start
early in the morning and cycle the distance at own speed
to the next place. The daily distance depends on the
profile and the locations of suitable accommodation.
It's an average of around 100 kilometres.
The whole route follows almost everywhere quiet cycling
roads. You can expect serious climbing in the first half
of the tour between Barcelona and Porto when the average
elevation gain is around 1.900 meters per day. The
second part between Porto and Granada is definitely
flatter with an average of 1.200 meters per day, but
than a last big climb is waiting. The Pico Veleta. The
highest paved road of Europe. 40 kilometers all the way
up. |
