Description

Absolutely! Below is the HTML version of the translated bicycle trip program from Italian to English: ```html

Day 1: Astorga
Individual arrival in the beautiful town of Astorga, boasting over 2000 years of history and a surprising monumental complex, where the Renaissance cathedral coexists with ancient Roman baths and a modernist palace designed by Gaudí.

Day 2: Astorga – Molinaseca (49 km; +707 m)
On this first stage of your journey on the Camino de Santiago by bike, you will pedal towards the Leon mountains until you reach an altitude of 1505 m. Here you will find the legendary Cruz de Fero, where it is traditional to leave a small stone brought from home. From here, most of the route is downhill, among spectacular landscapes.

Day 3: Molinaseca – Ferrerias/O’ Cebreiro (49 km; +671 m or 59 km; +1371 m)
Today's itinerary crosses the Bierzo valley, passing through its capital, Ponferrada. Bierzo is a fertile land where vineyards and fruit trees grow. Near the mountains bordering León and Galicia, you will pass through the beautiful town of Villafranca del Bierzo. You will spend the night at the foot of the famous climb to the O Cebreiro pass to face it in the morning with renewed energy.

Day 4: Ferrerias/O’Cebreiro – Sarria (54 km; +958 m or 45 km; +258 m)
You are now in Galicia, facing a decidedly changed landscape of green valleys; not only the landscape, but also the culture, language, and cuisine that animate this region, are different. Today, you will have a wonderful experience tackling, after the short but demanding climb, the descent to Samos, home to one of the oldest and most beautiful monasteries in Spain, the Benedictine monastery of Samos. A compendium of styles, a harmonious layering of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque will welcome you with open arms. Through river and woodland landscapes, the stage will bring you to the city of Sarria.

Day 5: Sarria – Palas del Rei (48 km; +1177 m)
Today's stage of your journey on the Camino de Santiago by bike runs through a beautiful rural landscape dotted with small villages, mostly along tree-lined roads and ancient paths. The destination is Palas del Rei, a small town rich in spirituality.

Day 6: Palas del Rei – Rua (60 km; +1170 m)
No major climbs await you today, but a series of ups and downs will make the ride quite challenging. You will pedal enjoying the Galician landscape and pass through Melide, a town famous for its “pulperías”, where delicious octopus is served.

Day 7: Rua – Santiago de Compostela (27 km; +599 m)
A short stage will allow you to reach Santiago early enough to enjoy the city. Before arriving, two climbs await you, at the end of which you will find yourself on Monte do Gozo: from here you can see, for the first time, in the distance, the Cathedral of Santiago. Only a few kilometers now separate you from the city, where many monuments await to welcome you. You can reach the Cathedral directly by bike.

Day 8: Santiago de Compostela
After breakfast, end of services and individual departure.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
