Gita in bici di un giorno da Touro a Santiago di Compostela

This ride takes you from the peaceful town of Touro to the historic heart of Santiago de Compostela, a world-renowned pilgrim destination. Covering about 32 kilometers, you’ll roll through quiet Galician countryside, with most of your journey kept calm along tranquil roads—perfect for soaking in the scenery. Bring a bike that’s comfortable on mixed surfaces, as the route alternates mostly missing or unclassified segments with stretches of paved roads and the occasional patch of asphalt or concrete.

There’s some decent climbing (almost 700 meters ascent!), but you’re rewarded with even more descending before rolling into Santiago. The city is famed for its awe-inspiring cathedral, the endpoint for countless Camino de Santiago adventurers. When you arrive, give yourself time to explore the old town’s winding streets, grab a bite of traditional pulpo (octopus), and bask in the lively pilgrim vibe. Whether you’re chasing history or just a scenic adventure, this route has a bit of everything.
