Have you always dreamed of  Spain’s Camino de Santiago?

Now, you can cycle the legendary pilgrimage in 2010 with Cycling through the Centuries (CTTC).  Based in Portugal, the family-owned, luxury cycling tour specialist strives to maintain eco-friendly and sustainable operations in Spain.

Says the company:

“For a thousand years since the bones of St. James were reputedly discovered in Santiago, common people, bishops, priests, kings, popes and saints have made this famous pilgrimage. Nowadays, the expedition is not as often religiously driven, but a personal journey and test to physical and mental endurance.”

The trip will begin in the Pyrenees above Pamplona then cross northern Spain, visit cathedral cities León and Burgos and make many pilgrim stops.  Each day, the tour will end with relaxing in monasteries, ancient pilgrim inns, small hotels and restaurants famous for their regional cuisine.

  1. Few people consider the benefits of cycling as a way of traveling and experiencing new cultures. This is a great way to see life at an unhurried pace.
