Head to Santiago de Compostela, a major Catholic center and a popular destination known for its world-renowned pilgrimages and cathedral. Unlike the pilgrims, you’ll begin your cycling journey in Compostela before heading to Portugal to discover the best of the Iberian Peninsula. As you pass through the six stopover towns, immerse yourself in the pleasures of the Atlantic coast, where the seaside and its culinary delights are never far away!
You’ll be charmed by Pontevedra and its intimate, walkable city center, a global leader in sustainable development and accessibility. Once you cross into Portugal, Viana de Castelo opens up before you like a gateway to the ocean, with its Basílica de Santa Luzia offering a breathtaking view. We end on a high note by heading to Porto, where you can savor the drink of the same name, along with memories of two weeks of cycling where the sacred and the pleasurable became one!
