  Hola Jeroen, The FEVE railway runs along the north coast, takes bikes, is slow and can be used to arrive at your starting point after your flight. As a roadie you will follow the N630 which starts in Gijón and finishes in Sevilla. There's no...

  And then there's the issue of peak holiday season, you may be able to buy a bus ticket / book a seat but if the luggage compartment is full the driver could well say no. Consequently I stumbled upon two websites; conalforjas.com (with saddlebags)...

  Oh dear, this has been covered so many times in other posts. Bikes can be taken on cercanías and MD trains, bagged on AVE. If a box will fit in the bus then ok. However if you use Correos Paq Bici you can have you bike sent to Lisbon for around...

  Agreed that komoot has its idiosyncrasies and will not follow a designated trail unless forced by including waypoints along the way. However following a Camino does not really require a navigation app, just look on the map whenever you "mislay"...

  @blind fool you must be some sorta hard case, riding 100km+ on trails, or young or ex-pro perhaps? The rule-of-thumb according to the Munda Biddi (WA) riders is that off-road is 1.5 - 2 times harder than road. My Aussie mate rode 1000km of the...

  The FEVE railway network will get you to Oviedo from several major cities along the north coast, it's cheap and scenic.
