The province of Segovia is rich in history and nature. Therefore, this five-day bike tour is adapted to those who desire to discover Segovia in a singular way.
During three days you will visit important historical sites around the city and in the evenings you will explore the city of Segovia. The fourth day, you will be leaving Segovia cycling during two days and reaching the middle-age town of Sepulveda.
First day, you will visit two historical sites of the Spanish royalty: the Royal palaces of Riofrío and La Granja de San Ildefonso, this one, with impressive gardens.
Second day, you head north where you will experience what a pilgrim feels following the Camino de Santiago (Way of Santiago). It is just a single day trip that won´t let you down.
Third day, heading west you will go across the countryside of the region by a peaceful path leading to the walled city of Ávila.
Fourth day, it represents the final route. Heading east, you will exit the city of Segovia going along the mountains. It is a pleasant route crossing villages that finishes at the middle-age town of Pedraza. On the last day, cycling towards Duratón river, you will discover the region of one of the most important birds of prey reserve in Europe.
