Does anybody have information on which sections will be difficult for hybrids?

I did the Ruta two years ago on a hybrid pushbike, a Rockrider ST520 from Decathlon. The entire route was no problem for the bike ... some roughish trails, steep in the mountains, easy to lose the trail at times. But no real problems for a hybrid bike.

If I may add, the Ruta is superb, unforgettable; and while it's a bit tough for walkers, it's perfect for bikes, with the added range and extra load they provide.

A quick search threw up this. Reckon if someone can walk it, you can ride it, push it, hike-a-bike it.

Camino looks good so I'll add it to to my to-do list.
