Itinerary

Logroño, the capital of La Rioja, is a small but vibrant city with a beautiful historic city centre and excellent restaurants and tapas bars. Soak in the atmosphere with a fabulous glass of Rioja.

Your morning starts with a short transfer to the starting point and a handover of bikes. Here you will ride a section of the long-distance pilgrim route El Camino de Santiago, which will take you to the beautiful town of San Millán de la Cogolla, where you can visit two historical and cultural jewels: the Monasteries of Yuso and Suso, both Unesco World Heritage Sites.

After another chance to visit the monasteries in the morning, today is an easy cycle through the rolling countryside to the historic town of Ezcaray, set in the foothills of the impressive Sierra de la Demanda mountains. Tonight you’ll have the chance to dine in the exclusive **star Michelin restaurant.

Another easy cycle, this time along a dedicated cycle lane, away from any traffic. Coffee stops in Santo Domingo de la Calzada and Casalareina will reveal two rich historic and artistic towns that are well worth exploring, before arriving at the capital of wine production in the Rioja region: Haro.

There will be chances to visit wineries in Haro in the morning and evening, but today you will ride along a delightful loop amongst vineyards to take in the essence of this rich region.

Today you cycle along the river Ebro amongst vineyards, to reach the beautiful town of Briones, where you can visit the Wine Museum of the Vivancos vineyard. From here, you’ll enjoy the quiet country roads taking you through colourful landscapes until you reach the beautifully preserved medieval town of Laguardia.

Soon after leaving Laguardia, you come to the town of El Ciego, famous for its Marques de Riscal vineyard and its spectacular building designed by architect Frank Gehry. You rejoin the river Ebro on winding country roads, which take you back to Logroño.
