In my opinion this route is perfect for a weekend or free time adventure. i will like to do it multiple times with loved ones but i don’t think its a real connection path, only for puente viesgo

It’s so cool the fact that we cycled in an old train route, and during it we saw the old train ticket station, the train stop and i’ve imgined my self in a train in the old days and it would be so cool!! negative point: during the route there is no info, or well there is but justa a couple not enought.

During the route we had so much fun, we passed throught various public squares organised for childrens but for sports and adults too like the one for climbing or for crossfit, even a lot of cute naturalistic spots like rivers and parks. This route can be very useful for connecting various places and cities.

This route is a gem in the area. It should be taken as an example to build others one alike. Ok, maybe it’s a bit hard to find an old railway everywhere to build a cycle lane on top of it but… The concept of connecting villages and historical points should be taken in much consideration. Bike needs more priority being a weaker modo of transport than car.

This route is plenty of attractions along the way. Between Saron and La Penilla there are two playgrounds, one is also dog-friendly. Later you can encounter an open-air climbing facility with a pump track right beside it, there is also a bike repar station next to the racks for parking. Near Puente Viesgo the cycle path runs along the river and…Read more

Being very straight and direct, this route is a perfect option for people that want to commute between the connected villages. Moreover is very nicely separated from big roads along the majority of it so it’s also great for recreational rides with family or friends, if you want to enjoy nature or go to river for a swim.

The route is mostly on reserved cycle lane called Via Verde del Pas. It runs along the river and it’s a former railway so the elevation gain is minimal. Road crossings are very well built with plenty of visibility for cars, bikes and pedestrians. There are no major obstacles on the way. There are two dangerous crossings: one in La Penilla and one…Read more

I can imagine new job opportunities in bike repair shops, rental services, or organizing guided cycling tours and workshops. These services would not only strengthen the cycling community but also boost local tourism and support small businesses.

I would suggest installing more bike racks and improving lighting for safety during evening hours. An information board or a mobile app highlighting attractions and rest areas would make the route even more appealing. Overall, I would gladly recommend this bike path to others, especially those who enjoy nature and local culture.

I prefer sections that have a dedicated bike lane. For example, the route toward Puente Viesgo is well-developed, clearly marked, and fully separated from car traffic. It feels much safer and more comfortable — especially for less experienced cyclists. It would be great if other parts of the route offered similarly protected and continuous bike paths.

cyclists bring business to local shops, cafes, and services as they stop to rest, eat, or explore villages. However, to encourage more riders to visit, villages need better facilities like bike racks and clean water fountains.

We have met quite a few tourists in this village, so yes, it does have good potential. Also a lot of suitable infrastructures are already present. In order to improve tourism from the bicycle point of view, the roads could be improved and bike repair stations could be put in place.

In some parts, the route was not separated from car traffic, which should be addressed to improve safety. At intersections, clear markings or even traffic lights would be helpful to make crossings safer for everyone. It would also be beneficial to add more resting spots and shaded areas so that less experienced or older cyclists can use the route…Read more

At most it’s tractors or horses that pass sometimes, but you can also arrive at the beginning of the mountain by bike and do the hike on foot, if we can call it multimodality

I wouldn’t recommend this route for beginners. While it starts off relatively safe, the road soon becomes steep with many sharp turns. There are no dedicated bicycle lanes, very few road signs, and as you get deeper into the mountains, the conditions become more challenging. I lost GPS signal along the way, and t…Read more

the largest trade takes place in Lierganes, being a very well preserved village and tourist destination. You could sponsor more perhaps, and possibly add a bike tool shop or points to repair your bike

The route connects some small villages, such as Pamanes, Penagos, Arenal and LIerganes. is present. There is a bus line, but connections are very poor. Apart from the last piece from Pamanes to Lerganes, the route is definitely suitable for people of all ages, to go from one village to another. Certainly a railway line would be more convenient for…Read more
