THE ROUTE

Built for the Camino and rural tracks

The GRAVEL Medium is recommended specifically for the Camino de Santiago and is intended for tracks and routes in open natural terrain, favoring traction, handling and comfort on unpaved sections.

THE LOGISTICS

Delivery, transport to the start and on‑route support

Bicycles are delivered to any point in Spain and Portugal; transport of the bike to your chosen route start is included in the price, and the operator provides assistance throughout the journey. If the return city is not Santiago and the bike must be collected elsewhere, €60 will be deducted from the deposit to cover pickup and transport to the operator's warehouses.
