Spain has become one of the most important touristic destinations worldwide, and 3 EuroVelo routes (1, 3 and 8) cross the country. EuroVelo 1 in Spain crosses the interior of the Iberian Peninsula from North to South, passing through historic roads such as the Way of Saint James, the Canal de Castilla or the Vía de la Plata trail. EuroVelo 3 - Pilgrims Route largely follows the course of the historical French Way as it passes through Navarre, La Rioja, Castile and Leon and Galicia. And the famous EuroVelo 8 - Mediterranean Route takes you through great and vibrant cities like Valencia, Malaga or Cadiz, where you can enjoy the monumental heritage and immense cultural richness of southern Spain.
