Ecovia Litoral Norte 🚲

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Lovely managed car-free section of the coastal trail. Smooth and well-paved, it is pleasant to ride and enjoy the views of the ocean all along to the west; just look out for pilgrims, and the occasional goat grazing and wandering across the trail.
