There were not really any secure bike racks, but we didn’t fully explore the city. It’s a small, but very touristic village, so some infrastructure, as bars, supermarkets, water fountains, even a defribillator, were present, at least from what we saw.

In the second part, we passed by a bar/restaurant which is great, just in case somebody needed a snack or water.

The village had most amenities, connected to Santander by train, there were water fountains, benches, a river to take a…Read more

While this route was easy for an experienced rider, the things do definitely change if this route was undertaken by school kids. The main road connecting Saron – Santa Maria Cayon is mostly built for cars – speeding a lot – and a right-side walk path, leaving no space at all for people relying on bikes.

Overall, the crossings were safe, though an…Read more
