Overview

About this collection

Collection of routes following the North Branch of the Canal de Castilla, marked as GR-89. Ideal for gravel or mountain biking: almost all of it runs on unpaved tracks and paths, with some short asphalt sections for connecting. The route is generally flat and very fast to ride because it runs close to the canal, featuring locks, bridges, and the wide landscape of Castilla y León as a backdrop.

It is a linear route that you can do in stages or link together as you wish. Firm but varied terrain: compacted earth, gravel, and track sections; better to use mixed tyres and check the weather because wind may be felt in open areas. You will find nearby villages for water and food, and very photogenic hydraulic heritage along the way.

Perfect for adding up easy kilometres, discovering the canal without traffic, and enjoying a classic of peninsular cycle touring.
