Camino de Santiago del Norte by bicycle, by Bicigrino.com<\/p>\n

Northern Way by bicycle: Los Bufones de las Arenillas (following the Bicigrino cycling track)<\/h1>\n

A natural spectacle near Llanes that you will only discover if you do the Camino del Norte by bike<\/strong> with a route designed for those who travel on two wheels.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

Doing the Camino de Santiago del Norte by bike<\/strong> is another wave compared to walking it. The spirit is still the same, but the way of experiencing it changes completely. By bike you need the route to be smooth<\/strong>, safe<\/strong> and, when possible, with good views<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

That’s why in Bicigrino<\/strong> we put together a specific route for cyclists: the Northern Road for cyclists<\/strong>. With this track you can get to know incredible places that the official route (designed for those on foot) usually overlooks. One of the best examples are the Bufones de las Arenillas<\/strong>, an impressive natural phenomenon near Llanes<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Why the official Camino del Norte is not always ideal for cycling<\/h2>\n

The layout with the yellow arrows<\/strong> is designed primarily for walkers. For safety reasons, it often moves away from coastal roads (which do not always have a shoulder) and favors inland trails, wooded sections or roads that avoid traffic. <\/p>\n

That makes sense if you’re walking… but if you’re biking, it often means missing wonderful parts: quiet coastal roads<\/strong> with little traffic, gentle curves and spectacular views of the Bay of Biscay. For us, those sections are some of the best. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n

An anecdote that explains it well<\/h2>\n

On one of our first rides we wanted to follow the official arrows to the letter. We were riding along a coastal road<\/g> with good asphalt, great views and zero traffic. Suddenly, the arrows sent us through a ravine full of undergrowth, down through a dense forest, across a river between rocks that forced us to get off the bike, up a steep slope… and, after all that effort, we were back on the same road, just a few curves away<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

For those who walk, it can make sense, because it avoids roads without shoulders. For those who ride, it simply breaks the rhythm without doing any good. That’s why we repeat the Camino several times, adjusting and recording the best variants for cyclists. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The Bicigrino’s cycling route to the north of the country<\/h2>\n

From this work was born our cycling<\/strong> track Camino del Norte<\/strong>, designed for cycling tourism<\/strong> and tested in terrain. What are we looking for with it? <\/p>\n
