Cycling day trip from Logroño to Santo Domingo de la Calzada

Ready for an adventure in La Rioja? This cycling route takes you from the lively city of Logroño, famed for its pinchos bars and part of the legendary Camino de Santiago, all the way to the charming medieval town of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Expect around 60 kilometers filled with vineyard views, rolling hills, and pretty villages that call for short breaks and photo stops.

The route gets a bit rugged—over a quarter of it is on gravel and there’s a respectable amount of climbing (nearly 1,000 meters up)—so a gravel or mountain bike is your friend here. You'll be spending most of your time on tracks and quiet roads, perfect for soaking up those Rioja landscapes.

Santo Domingo de la Calzada is famed for its beautiful cathedral and the quirky legend of the rooster and the hen, a must-see if you’ve got any Camino curiosity. So, pack some snacks, check your tires, and enjoy exploring a storied slice of northern Spain on two wheels!
