After arriving at your hotel, you can rest or take a walk through the beautiful city of León. A city where you can enjoy the famous tapas, the cathedral, the basilica of San Isidoro and the Parador de San Marcos. The perfect way to start your pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago.
After a good night’s sleep and a good breakfast, your Camino de Santiago by Ebike starts. Pick up your Ebike (it is located near the hotel). However, don’t forget to leave your luggage at the hotel and only take what you need along the way. You are ready: your Camino de Santiago by Ebike is about to start! You follow the yellow arrows that mark the route of the Camino de Santiago.
You leave León by the beautiful Roman bridge at the Parador Hostal de San Marcos. The most beautiful place of this stage is the Roman bridge over the river Rio Orbigo in Hospital de Órbigo. In the Cathedral of Santiago, the statue of the apostle wears a necklace from a knight duelling several knights on this bridge. As a thank you for his victories, he gave the cathedral his necklace.
In general, it is a fairly flat stage today. And on the way, you can already enjoy the view of the mountains that will be climbed tomorrow. After about 50 kilometres you reach Astorga. A 2000-year-old walled Roman capital of one of the oldest in Spain. The city is crossed by both the Camino Frances and the Camino del Sur (or Vía de la Plata). We recommend you to visit the Episcopal Palace of Gaudí (Palacio Episcopal), the Chocolate Museum, the Roman Road (Ruta Romana), the Museo Romano and of course the historic city centre.
The first climb during your Camino de Santiago by Ebike awaits you a few kilometres after Astorga. The landscape changes and today your bike through the green foothills of the Cantabrian Mountains. Along the way, you will pass through several beautiful and charming towns, such as Castillo de los Polvazares. More than worth to have a coffee break. After passing Rabanal del Camino, the route climbs up to Mount Irago. At the top, the famous Cruz de Ferro awaits you. With a beautiful view. At Cruz de Ferro, many pilgrims have left behind a stone they brought back from home. As a symbol of their worries.
The Camino De Santiago by Ebike continues through a wonderful natural with some villages. The views are breathtaking. After a long descent to the Bierzo valley, you arrive at your final destination Molinaseca. Molinaseca is a village full of cosy restaurants, visited by both pilgrims and locals who all want to admire the photogenic streets and nice cafes. Time to recover from today’s stage.
The Camino de Santiago by Ebike will bring you from Molinaseca to Vega de Valcarce today. The Camino Santiago takes you further through the mountain-surrounded valley of the Bierzo. After about 10 kilometres you will reach Ponferrada. A city within the centre a famous Templar castle from the 12th century (“Castillo de los Templarios”). Via a network of small rural roads, you bike through a field landscape that is intensively used for fruit and vegetable cultivation. Excellent wine is growing here. Thanks to the favourable micro-climate of the Bierzo.
The perfect place for lunch today is Villafranca del Bierzo. It is also known as the “other” or “small” Santiago. A beautiful village in the middle of the Bierzo with a church from the twelfth century. After Villafranca, you will have to climb again to the highest point of the Camino Frances: O’Cebreiro. Beautiful accommodation in the small mountain village of Vega de Valcarce is your final destination of the Camino de Santiago by Ebike for today. Here you can relax and prepare for the last tough climb that is on the program tomorrow.
This day of your Camino de Santiago by Ebike starts with the hardest part of your whole Camino de Santiago by Ebike. In the shade of poplars, birch, oak and chestnut trees you bike to O’Cebreiro. The highest point of the Camino Frances. The Celtic mountain village with houses of thick granite walls and low roofs seems to come straight from the strip of Astrix and Obelix. The climb is tough, but if you are lucky with the weather you will have an amazing view on a cloudless day.
After a coffee, the Camino de Santiago descends through the rolling green landscape. You leave the mountains behind and arrive in Galicia. This not only changes the landscape but most likely also the weather. This is due to the influence of the Atlantic ocean. After the long descent, you reach Triacastela. This means ‘three castles’. Unfortunately, there is no more castles left. To get to Sarria you have two options: you bike to the Benedictine monastery of Samos. Founded in the 6th century and one of the oldest monasteries in the Western world. This route is slightly longer, but definitely worth it. The other route is shorter, making the faster in Sarria.
Sarria, an important stopover for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela for centuries, is also the end of this stage. Sarria is a town of approximately 13,000 inhabitants and is the last place on which pilgrims on foot can start to travel the minimum distance of 100 km to receive the Certificate of the Camino. Many pilgrims start their pilgrimage here. And that means a lot of energy in the town!
The Camino de Santiago by Ebike brings you to Palas de Rei. Time to explore Galicia further. It is one of the most beautiful regions in Spain. Both in terms of nature and tradition. During your Camino with an Ebike, the pilgrimage route is perhaps the most beautiful today. The road flattens out, but is still hilly. Now that the end is near, optimism is increasingly gaining. The path runs along quiet country roads across the Galician countryside to Palas de Rei. You will be surrounded by the authentic Spanish countryside. The green fields, fertile orchards and simple buildings and stone hamlets.

Along the way you can enjoy the green landscapes full of grazing cows, stone walls and small Romanesque churches. Tall eucalyptus trees along the path provide shade. The Camino de Santiago crosses several small rivers and by a forest path, you reach the medieval village of Ribadiso. Via a quiet country road, you bike to Rua o Pino, traditionally the final resting place on the Camino Frances.
You will pass the Lavacolla River, where pilgrims in the past used to wash before entering the holy city of Santiago de Compostela.

The pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela (also called Saint James route or Way of Saint James) is the pilgrimage route to the tomb of the apostle James in Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The main route through Spain is the Camino Francés, which runs from the Pyrenees to the tomb of James. This route passes through the cities of Pamplona, Estella, Logroño, Burgos, León, Astorga and Ponferrada.
Although an Ebike provides a lot of support during climbing, experience and good physical condition are recommended.
Your Ebike is equipped with a helmet and bags in which you can store what you need for on the go. Think about some food, drinks, sunscreen, a raincoat and the battery charger and the leak repair kit that comes with it. The rest of your luggage will be taken from accommodation to accommodation.
You can contact us at any time and we will inform you on how to solve the problem.
