    Cycling from Le Puy to St. Jean Pied de Port

    We are planning to cycle the Le Puy route in September and looking for information on the best route to take with bicycles (pedal assist). We are trying to decide whether to go with a company for luggage transfer and hotel bookings (self guided) or to go by ourselves like we have in the past...

    Via de la Plata in reverse

    N630 is the road and I can attest to its sheer delight on a bike! We rode from Salamanca south in October and had a fabulous time though going north to south did not contribute to it feeling like a camino but more like an adventure. We did meet peregrinos along the way and had no trouble...

    Starting from Madrid by bike 19 April

    Thank you so much. We'll have to consider the fatter tyres. We may just decide to transport to Leon or Gijon and ride from there and stay more in the south when it gets into November.

    Starting from Madrid by bike 19 April

    Hi. My husband and I are going to cycle the VDLP north to south in mid October. We are thinking about cycling the Camino de Madrid to connect since we are flying into Madrid. Did you ride the roads paralleling the Camino de Madrid? We have folding road bikes so we don't want to ride rough...

    prevailing winds?

    We are planning to ride our bicycles along the Via de la Plata in October, 2019. When we rode in France, the mistral went from north to south along the Rhone and so it was advisable to ride in that direction. Does the wind make any difference on the VDLP? Thank you!

    VdlP via Sanabres or Continue along to the Frances

    My husband and I are planning to cycle the Via de la Plata in October this year. Wondering if you cycled on the camino or via the parallel road? We have road bikes. Also, we are thinking of cycling north to south as we have been to Santiago as an end stop 4 times. Since it will be later in...

    Too old?

    Hi. I agree wholeheartedly. My husband and I just completed the Portuguese and with good shoes, we were not bothered by the tarmac, including the cobblestones. No blisters. We carried our packs but did keep them light. We had no compunctions about taking a cab or public transport if we...

    (Winter) Caminos in southern Spain

    We can comfortably walk 12 - 15 miles a day. Yes, willing to take taxis. We don't stay in Albergues though; small pensions and eat pilgrim meals. Also, is it possible to cycle?

    (Winter) Caminos in southern Spain

    Yes, but my understanding is that there are less services and that the distances between are greater. I'm not sure we can manage that. True?

    Porto Santiago coastal route in 10 days

    This is exactly the time and route that we just completed only we stayed in Porto two nights and the first day we walked to Matasinhos and then took the metro back to our hotel. The following day we began in earnest by taking the Metro to Matasinhos and then on to Vila do Conde. Loved it!

    (Winter) Caminos in southern Spain

    I'm interested in this as well. We have also walked the Francés and the Portuguese and cycled the Norte. We were looking in Portugal at the Via Algarviana and found this: https://caminoways.com/ways/ways-in-the-algarve/via-algarviana-full-way. Please keep me in the loop.
