(BIKE TOUR)
The Vía de la Plata is an ancient route that connects the North and South of Spain, with its stretch from Plasencia to Sevilla being particularly iconic. This journey spans approximately 300 kilometers (186 miles) and traverses a variety of landscapes, from the mountains of the Sierra de Béjar to the plains of the Sevillian countryside. We propose an easy e-mountain bike or mountain biking bike adventure through lonely paved roads and easy paths in one of the country’s lesser-known yet picturesque areas.
Along the way, travelers can enjoy charming towns such as Cáceres, renowned for its impressive historic center, and Mérida, famous for its Roman ruins. The route offers not only a physical journey but also an immersion into the rich history and culture of the region, featuring monuments, traditions, and delicious cuisine that reflect the heritage of the civilizations that have passed through here.
Finally, upon arriving in Sevilla, travellers are welcomed by the majestic cathedral and the Giralda, concluding a journey filled with history, beauty, and spirituality. The Vía de la Plata is undoubtedly an unforgettable experience for those looking to connect with the past and appreciate the diversity of Spain.
Since most of the roads are dirt-roads, we only offer this trip for MTB E-bikes and MTB bikes.
