Between the tour stops mentioned above, there are numerous other exciting sights and natural landscapes.

Due to the weather conditions at altitudes of 1,400 metres and above, we only run this route from the beginning of May to mid-October.

There are traditional ventas (inns) all along the route. There is always plenty of time for a rest with delicious tapas, Spanish desserts, ice cream and drinks. Throughout the ride, there are plenty of opportunities for spectacular group photos. We decide individually at the numerous photo points when to allow the tyres to cool down.
