Die Demanda mit dem Fahrrad

This is a 6-days-ride, circular route, with a rest day in Covarrubias, that runs through the heart of the Sierra de la Demanda.

A spectacular territory, packed with forests of junipers, oaks, beech and pine trees, and dotted with numerous villages with a long history. From the icnite footprints of dinosaurs, through the Atapuerca archaelogical site, the greenway of the Sierra de la Demanda, the gorge of La Yecla, the monastery of Santo Domingo de Silos, to the monumental Covarrubias, we will see all these vestiges through the lands that gave rise to the county of Castilla.
