This is a one-day circular route for moderate cyclists and ideal for families.
It is a pedaling on the banks of the Ullibarri-Gamboa reservoir, which retains the waters of the Zadorra River and supplies it to the urban areas of Vitoria-Gasteiz and Bilbo. Through its very well signposted cycle path we will enjoy its riverside forests and landscapes, diverting us to local roads in the most difficult sections. Its good services, the possibility of renting bikes and its proximity to the Basque capital add advantages to this fun route.
In addition, we remind you that Vitoria-Gasteiz was the Spanish Capital of Gastronomy 2014.
The Ullibarri-Gamboa Reservoir is a protected wetland according to the RAMSAR Convention, as well as being listed as SCI (Site of Community Importance) in the Natura 2000 network.
