Excursión ciclista de un día de Sarria a Mellid

Get ready for a picturesque ride from Sarria to Melide, stretching over roughly 92 kilometers. Sarria, your starting point, is a charming town famous for being a crucial stop on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. As you pedal through serene, quiet roads that make up the majority of your journey, you'll enjoy moments of peace and stunning views. Most of the surface you'll ride on is a bit of a mystery, but you're in for a good mix of asphalt and paved paths.

The route is pretty hilly, with an elevation gain of nearly 2,000 meters, but don’t worry—the scenery is worth every push! Climbing to a max elevation of 806 meters, you'll have plenty of opportunities to soak in the Galician landscape. Expect your adventure to weave through quaint villages, green pastures, and maybe a few friendly Camino pilgrims.

Finally, as you roll into Melide, treat yourself to its famous local dish, pulpo a la gallega (Galician octopus). Known for its warm welcome and traditional Galician vibe, Melide is the perfect cozy end to your cycling day. Enjoy the ride!
