The mountains of Toledo

This is a linear route, 9 days of pedaling, for advanced cyclists, that runs through the Mountains of Toledo between two World Heritage Cities, such as Toledo and Cáceres.

The Montes de Toledo are a mountainous formation that separates the Tagus basin from that of the Guadiana. Along local tracks and roads, we basically go through the foothills of the northern slope, to then enter the Sierras de Guadalupe and Montánchez before descending to Cáceres. We go through forests and gorges, visiting some remote villages and getting to know the Cabañeros National Park.

The region of Villuercas-Ibores-Jara is a Geopark, and Los Barruecos is a Natural Monument.

Since 1986 the Historic City of Toledo, and the old city of Cáceres; and since 1993 the Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe have been a World Heritage Site.

In addition, we remind you that Cáceres was the Spanish Capital of Gastronomy 2015 and Toledo was the Spanish Capital of Gastronomy 2016.

This route runs through the Mountains of Toledo, the rivers of the middle Guadiana basin and slopes, the Sierra de las Villuercas and the Guadarranque Valley, and the Almonte River, spaces classified as both SCI (Site of Community Importance) and SPA (Special Protection Area for Birds) within the Natura 2000 network.
