A unique and unforgettable experience which lends itself to all sorts of interpretations: a cultural voyage, spiritual journey or challenge just for sport! It is The Way to connect with peaceful, idyllic countryside and an opportunity to reflect on European roots, both religious and historical. Your pilgrimage by handbike reveals cultural wonders, Camino tradition, changing landscapes and historic spots such as Astorga, Ponferrada, Sarriá, Portomarín, Arzúa and, of course, Santiago de Compostela.
This holiday takes in sections of the ‘French Way’ linking León and Santiago de Compostela, two exquisite cities on this UNESCO World Heritage pilgrimage route.Ī popular starting point for pilgrims and steeped in Camino history, León sits halfway along the ‘French Route’ just 300 km from Santiago Cathedral. For over one thousand years, pilgrims from all over Europe have been irresistibly drawn to this holy site and the apostle’s tomb. The Way of St James or Camino de Santiago is one of the world’s oldest pilgrimage routes.
