Excursión ciclista de un día de Pamplona a Logroño

Here’s a classic ride connecting two gems in northern Spain: Pamplona to Logroño. You’ll be covering just under 108 km, starting in Pamplona, famed for its lively San Fermín festival and bull runs, then meandering across the scenic hills of Navarre into La Rioja wine country.

This route packs in a solid 2,100+ meters of climbing, so be prepared for some ups and downs—hit your highest point around 940 meters! About half the surfaces are missing from standard mapping, but expect a real mix, with lots of tracks (62%), some quiet roads, as well as stretches on gravel and asphalt. It’s perfect for gravel bikes or adventurous tourers.

Your destination, Logroño, is the capital of Rioja and a paradise for foodies and wine lovers—reward yourself with delicious pintxos and a glass or two of local wine at the end. Take in the changing landscapes, the rustic charm of rural Spain, and maybe a vineyard or two along the way!
