Freedom, speed and the Galician landscapes — a completely different experience.
Cycling the Camino de Santiago is a completely different experience from walking it. The landscapes change faster, you cover more kilometres in fewer days, and the feeling of freedom on the bike along the Galician paths is hard to describe. For many cyclists, the Camino by bike is the trip of a lifetime.
The Pilgrim Office requires a minimum of 200km by bicycle to issue the Cyclist Compostela. The most popular starting point is Sarria (exactly 200km from Santiago along the French Way), although many cyclists prefer to start in Ponferrada (310km) to also enjoy the spectacular landscapes of El Bierzo and O Cebreiro. From Lugo, our home town, we can organise the transfer to either starting point.
The French Way by bicycle follows much the same paths as pilgrims on foot, with dirt tracks and forest trails — we recommend a mountain or gravel bike, not a road bike. The cumulative elevation is considerable, especially on the climb to Alto do Poio between Triacastela and O Cebreiro, but it is well within reach of anyone with a reasonable level of fitness and prior training.
Minimum 200km by bicycle. Starting from Sarria covers exactly this distance along the French Way.

The minimum route for the Cyclist Compostela. 200km in 3 cycling days along the Galician French Way.
A long but beautiful day. From Sarria the Camino winds past Galician hills with spectacular views. You pass through Portomarín — with its reservoir and Romanesque church relocated stone by stone — before reaching Palas de Rei. Mixed terrain: dirt track, tarmac and some stone path sections.
The gentlest stage of the cycling route. The Camino passes through Melide — stopping for pulpo a feira is compulsory — and continues on to Arzúa, the cheese capital of Galicia. Rolling terrain, less elevation than the previous day. O Pedrouzo marks the start of the final push to Santiago.
The arrival. A short and emotional stage: the last 20km of the Camino. The Monte do Gozo forest, the first glimpse of the Cathedral towers, and the triumphant entry along the Rúa do Franco to the Plaza del Obradoiro. The embrace of the Apostle and a well-earned Cyclist Compostela.
💡 Start from Ponferrada (5–6 days): 310km crossing El Bierzo, the spectacular climb to O Cebreiro (1,300m), Lugo — our home town — and the whole Galician Camino. Get in touch and we'll prepare a tailor-made itinerary for you.
