The Spanish section of the Eurovelo 1 route is an epic journey that takes you well off the beaten path, to discover continental Spain, crossing five strikingly different regions as you cycle. For two thirds of the way you will be following the Camino de Santiago and the Via de la Plata: both classic long distance cycling routes. Each night will be spent in towns and cities of outstanding historic, cultural and architectural interest, in a centrally located hotel.
A beautiful route that begins in the arid landscape of Elche, and as the route progresses the cyclist will be able to see how the environment is changing. You pedal through mountains and typical natural parks of the Mediterranean and little by little the vegetation is increasing. Fields of varied fruit plantations appear until reaching the so colorful orange trees before submerging in a sea of rice fields in Albufera.
