Madrid by bike

Madrid by bicycle, 50 hikes

You already visited Madrid last summer, as a tourist and Airbnb, and you have seen everything ... and far from it. It is enough to leave the metropolis to realize that the Iberian capital conceals many more cultural, historical and especially natural secrets, only 10 or 20 km from its center. The range of bicycle routes is rich in cycle paths, forest tracks, towpaths, greenways, transhumance tracks. So many corridors that will lead to the depths of Madrid's geography.

Did you know that Madrid has a 64 km cycle road, or that you can access the mountain chain called Guadarrama (2428 m above sea level) via a radial cycle path? Well you are only at the beginning ...

This guide, edited by Petirrojo Ediciones, gives you all the information. It is a fine selection of itineraries subdivided into 5 main themes downstream from 25 years of cycloturistic experience of the authors: the classics, from station to train station, marked in nature reserves, those in families and the radials from the peripheral cycle boulevard.

Available only in Spanish version.

You will also find there, as in all the guides in the bici:map collection :

- route comments (quality of the path, distances, water points, etc.),
- orientation of visits,
- practical information (address book for an aperitif),
- possible connections,
- and a map varying from 1: 25,000 to 1: 150,000 depending on the case, worked and easy to read, the guide's strong point despite the descriptions in Spanish.
