Here you have our first 'gastronomic' tour. This is a demanding, four-day ride, circular route, for advanced cyclists.
Daily distances are short, but we face hard climbs both on dirty or paved roads, even we have a short ride on a national road narrow. Along the route we will visit cheese factories engaged in the production of the jewel of the Asturian cheeses: Cabrales. Also, we will discover as well, another star of the region: honey.
Since 2003 Picos de Europa is a Biosphere Reserve.
