Excursión ciclista de un día de Sarria a Santiago de Compostela

Ready for a legendary ride? This awesome cycling route kicks off in Sarria, a lively Galician town that's famous as the most popular starting point on the Camino de Santiago. From here, you’re set to pedal almost 145 kilometers all the way to Santiago de Compostela, where pilgrims have been finishing their journeys for centuries at the awe-inspiring cathedral—a UNESCO World Heritage site!

The ride takes you along mostly quiet roads, winding through classic Galician countryside: think rolling green hills, ancient villages, and plenty of peaceful, rural vibes. While the ascent racks up to just over 3,000 meters (expect some climbs!), the descents more than make up for it—prepare to cruise downhill into valleys and through eucalyptus groves. Some surfaces are ambiguous, so a gravel or touring bike is a good idea if you want to be comfortable.

Don’t worry about traffic—most of the ride avoids busy streets. It’s the perfect blend of challenge and scenery, capped off in one of Spain’s most iconic cities. Whether you’re chasing the Camino spirit or just a great ride, you’ll find both on this unforgettable route!
