    Le Puy route

    We are thinking of cycling this route on mountain bikes - is that doable? We cycled the Portuguese and Frances routes and survived, although I'll admit the Spiritual section of the Portuguese route and some of those inland hills were hard work. The biggest challenge is the path surface - is it...

    Not from.hiking specifically, but after 5vuears of mountain biking in hot climates, we discovered you need to drink a lot more water than you think you need.

    Best place to switch from coastal route to central route?

    I would love to get more information about the route from Viana do Castelo to Ponte de Lima. We are cycling on mtb bikes in 3 weeks and want to cross over to Central about here, and stay off roads. Supposedly the Ecovia path along the river is doable.

    Bicycle danger near Castrojeriz

    I think too many walkers who have minimal cycling experience think that cycling the "boring bits" will make life easier. They are missing out on some of the best contemplation sections, they dont have the correct safety equipment, they dont know how to handle offroad and they find that actually...

    What is between Sarria and Santiago? And Muxia?

    It really is beautiful from Sarria to Santiago... beautiful valleys filled with rolling mist, moss covered rocks lining deep pathways covered in trees. Yes probably more people, but maybe dont stay in the main "stages" centres. Lots of beautiful churches, friendly people.
