“Las Merindades” form a green region which spreads over the
northern third of the province of Burgos and the landscape radically
breaks with the cliché that identifies Castile with an enormous and arid
plateau: A gigantic and heterogeneous mosaic of ecosystems and natural
landscape, -where copious and varied fauna live- still to be discovered. You
will see a real green Spain with a great natural diversity and a colourful
natural environment. The area is full
 of
Romanesque churches and hermitages, towers, castles
and medieval villages. Las Merindades contain vast valleys and elevated
plateaus; large caves and sinuous canyons; waterfalls and large rivers;
autochthonous forests and steep meadows. The climate: a perfect synthesis
between European mildness and Mediterranean luminosity. The ideal place to
forget about stress of busy city life and to let oneself be carried away by the
murmur of the water and wind and to delve into a dense network of millenary
roads and evoking trails.
 This
tour is of an easy/medium level. Anyone normally fit is able to enjoy this
biking tour.
Your luggage will be transported from one hotel to the other. So you only
will carry a daypack or similar to carry snacks, a water bottle, and other
personal items you wish to have for the day (binoculars, camera, etc).
Accommodation is in country guesthouses, selected for their charm and
character, unique situation and personal attention. It offers you the
possibility to get in close contact with the real Spain.

I wanted to write and tell you how much my mom and her sister's enjoyed
their trip to Spain. The driver was OUTSTANDING. They were so impressed
with him that they went on and on about how great he was. The Paradores
were lovely for them and they really enjoyed every day of the trip...
