Welcome to the Castilla y León bike tour 2023, an inspiring 12-day adventure through the beautiful landscapes of Las Merindades, in the province of Burgos. Get ready to embark on a journey full of dialogue and transformative learning experiences.
Over the course of these twelve days, we cycled more than 200 kilometres, immersing ourselves in the scenic beauty and rich cultural heritage of this extraordinary region. Our route took us through charming villages and rolling hills, offering a truly immersive exploration of rural life.
But this journey was not just about the landscapes; it was also about the people and the initiatives that define sustainable rural development. We had the incredible opportunity to discover and connect with 15 local projects that exemplified the spirit of innovation, community engagement, and environmental stewardship. From agroecology to ecotourism, from cultural conservation to renewable energy, each project revealed a unique story of resilience, creativity, and a quest for a sustainable future.
This is the interactive map of our route that allows you to visualise the path we followed and discover the 15 local projects that awaited us along the way. By clicking on the markers, you can learn more about each project! You can also download the tour in Wikiloc!!
