Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Caldas de Reis do Santiago de Compostela

This route takes you from the charming spa town of Caldas de Reis all the way to Santiago de Compostela, the iconic destination for pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago. It’s about 59 km and comes with a good bit of climbing—expect over 1,300 meters of ascent packed into rolling hills and lovely Galician countryside.

You’ll mostly be pedaling along quiet roads, so traffic should be minimal, with a sprinkling of gravel and unpaved sections to keep things interesting. The surfaces are a mix, but the bulk is unclassified or rural, emphasizing that semi-wild, off-the-beaten-path experience.

Start your ride by fueling up in Caldas de Reis, known for its relaxing natural hot springs. Once you reach Santiago, take time to explore its famous cathedral and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of the old city—this is where the Camino ends, and there’s always a festive buzz. All in all, this ride is perfect for a day’s adventure, with just the right dose of challenge and beautiful, classic Spanish scenery.
