Cycling day trip from Touro to Santiago de Compostela

Hey there, fellow cyclist! If you're in the mood for a scenic ride, let me guide you from Touro to the historic city of Santiago de Compostela. This 32-kilometer trail promises a delightful blend of tranquillity and a touch of adventure.

You'll start your journey in Touro, a charming little town known for its lush landscapes and traditional Galician vibes. As you push off, get ready for a mix of rolling hills (you'll climb about 695 meters in total) that lead you through serene roads with minimal traffic—perfect for soaking in the peaceful countryside. Overwhelmingly quiet roads and a bit of track make up most of your way, so bring a camera for those postcard-worthy views!

While riding, you’ll mostly traverse surfaces with missing data, but rest assured, there’s a good chunk of asphalt in there to keep you cruising smoothly. As you pedal closer to Santiago de Compostela, the city’s majestic old town—with its famous cathedral, a World Heritage site and the final point on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route—beckons. Don’t forget to treat yourself to some tasty Galician tapas as a reward for your pedal-powered adventure! Safe travels and enjoy the ride! 🚴‍♂️
