One of the routes that can be made of Camino de Santiago, both on foot and by bicycle is the Via de la Plata, a path that goes back to Roman times which runs from Seville to Gijon, but this time is not reached until the Asturian town but in Astorga changes direction and follows the part of the French route to reach Santiago de Compostela.

It is one of longer routes there, but well worth the effort, especially if we are accompanied by several friends, with whom thoroughly enjoy this experience of doing the Camino de Santiago by bike, something that surely will remember for a long time and possibly'll want to repeat again.
I'm interested in leaving Valencia????
