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

Ready for a scenic pedal through Galicia? This route takes you from the historic river town of Padrón (famous for its legendary peppers!) all the way to the beautiful city of Santiago de Compostela, the final destination of the world-renowned Camino de Santiago.

The ride covers about 27.5 km, so it’s a solid workout, especially with over 550 meters of climbing—get ready for some rolling hills! Luckily, the roads are pretty chill: the vast majority are quiet and peaceful, letting you soak in the rural landscape and Galician charm. Expect a mix of surfaces—mostly paved and asphalt, with just a few stretches of gravel or concrete—nothing too wild for most bikes.

You’ll start amidst the lush green surroundings of Padrón, ride through tranquil countryside, and finish at Santiago’s awe-inspiring cathedral, where pilgrims have gathered for centuries. Bring your camera for those classic Camino vistas and enjoy the gentle ascent toward one of Spain’s most iconic cities!
