In February 2019, I went cycle touring up through Spain, cycling from Seville to Bilboa. I followed some of the Via de la Plata, which is one of the Camino de Santiago routes, until I reached Zamora, when I started to head towards Bilbao. The route included gravel trails, long smooth roads, flat sections and hilly regions.
I carried all my luggage including my tent in a saddle and handlebar Topeak bikepacking bags and used my trusty Norco Search bike. The film was mostly shot on my phone, so apologies for the sometimes low quality and shaky footage!
Even though there were cold nights, cycle touring through Spain was a great adventure, with lots of amazing views and mountains. Definitely a place I want to return to!

what a trip…well done and interesting to follow…thanks for sharing
Went the opposite direction from Santander to Granada (Trevalez) epic.
Very nice , cranking in the km’s
Smashed out some big miles there with a smile, even on those cold mornings.
Best of fortune on your future adventures..
Wow…crazy miles. Well done!
Really cool film, looks epic. I've done some touring in France and loved the freedom of being on my own. Really inspirational, never thought of acquiring a bike box from a shop to transport my kit! Genius.
Ceri very inspiring. I have written down your route and will use it as a basic plan but it will be shorter days.

Pat
Nice video. How many hours did you cycle each day?
any idea what your bike weighed? great video
What a beautiful trip you made, and also an interesting and well edited video
wow, this is so inspirational, thank you for sharing! i was thinking in doing something similar, any recommendations on the bike you used and how you managed to bring it with you and then take it back home?
Enjoyable with lots of great pictures
👍 멋지네요 제가 그렇게 다니는 팩킹을 원하지만 현실은 더 많은걸 준비해가야 하는게 단점이죠^^ 재미있게 보고갑니다 good luck👍
Brilliant film Ceri. You certainly hammer out the miles!!! I really want to ride Spain one day. Even more so now
Looks like a great adventure 👍 Always love Spain for cycling
Wow!!! Watching from 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thanks for sharing this adventure. Well done.
Because of your video I'm planning a adventure through Zamora, If someone's up tell me 😅🤙
Thank you! I’ve enjoyed your video very much. I’m planning to cross Spain from Barcelona to Santiago in September hopefully won’t be too cold.
Great film! What did you use for maps, specifically how did you find the canal paths and such to avoid roads?
Why do travel vloggers use the same old worn out camera trick, going ahead, riding past the camera and then hwving to go back for it? It got old really quick. It's so distracting and fooling no one.
Amazing ride. Do you have a list of gear used on this trip?
Muchas gracias mi amigo 🙂
Great riding experience
We are happy to provide you with glasses for riding
What app do you use to plan the routes? And do you have the tracking registered? Saludos desde España!

Hello, great video and adventure!
Do you mind telling me what tyres you were using. I'm planning a road , light bike tour which looks similar to your trip (ideally all road) so wonder what you used ?
An excellent video, I am going to do a section through Spain, starting early March – as expected, fewer tourists but a little chillier.
Pretty cool man. Solitude on a bike is beautiful. It fuels my soul like nothing else.
what size are your wheels?
Bro, I am impressed by your stamina and determination in eating up so many miles each day. But i also can't help but think that there was something manic and rushed about the pace. You were going like a bat out of hell. Were you pressed for time?
Good day to you!
I am a senior rider on HONDA motorcycle from Japan.
I am enjoying camping ,touring and upload video.
Your cycling video is so nice!
Awesome!
Full supported !
Have a nice day my friend!
