Excursión ciclista de un día de Logroño a Burgos

Get ready for an epic ride through the Spanish heartland! Kicking off from Logroño, the lively capital of La Rioja (famous for its wine and comfy tapas bars), you’ll work your way west toward the historic city of Burgos. This 130+ km route isn’t for the faint-hearted, featuring serious climbs (with nearly 1,900 m of ascent!) and plenty of gritty surfaces: expect big stretches of gravel, tracks, and a fair bit of unpaved ground, with only the occasional paved or asphalt section to let your legs recover.

The scenery more than rewards your effort—think rolling vineyards, sweeping farmland, and bursts of rugged Castilian landscape. Along the way, you’ll skirt ancient pilgrimage paths and remote villages, so pack enough snacks and water! Your journey ends in Burgos, home to the jaw-dropping Gothic cathedral (a UNESCO World Heritage site) and some seriously good morcilla (blood sausage).

Overall, this ride is ideal for gravel enthusiasts and anyone keen to soak up Spain’s wild side between two historic gems. Just don’t forget your puncture kit!
