A shepherd in a brown jacket walks along a dirt path, guiding a large flock of sheep grazing on green grass. Trees line the background, and a stone bridge is visible in the distance under a partly cloudy sky. Camino De Santiago mountain bike trail.

    Great trail. Did it a few years ago. The width and the grade vary greatly if you take the "walking" route. Very well marked and plenty of places to stay along the way of all qualities and prices. More info here www.leoncarol.com

    What a great experience! I wanted to do it again as soon as I finished. I rode from Pamplona to Santiago in 9 days, totaling 728 km. Much of the trail is gravel, or double track. There are a few miles of single track, but it is more of a mountain bike tour than a technical challenge. You can get a bed every night for 10-15 dollars at the hostels. Food is cheap. There are plenty of places to stop and the countryside is beautiful. It's hilly at the beginning and end, but flat through the center. With all of the amenities, I was able to carry only a 14 pound pack for the entire trip. Over 100,000 people walk this trail every year so in the summer it can get a little crowded and you may find yourself weaving between the human obstacles. I went in April, so it wasn't that crowded.

    4 days 400km, from Viseu in Portugal to Santiago de Compostela. Crossing interior of Galiza by the Ruta da Plata...

    A great experience - 900 km on a mountain bike following the famous Camino de Santiago. The center of Spain is flat, but the Pirenees and Galicia have some great hills and a lot of sweet singletracks. All you need is to follow the yellow arrows all the way from France to Santiago de Compostela.
