Camino de Santiago by Bike – Riding Through Jaw-Dropping Nature

From the vinyards of La Rioja to the endless plains of the Meseta, this leg of my 11-day Camino ride felt like cycling through a living postcard—until the daylight vanished and I found myself alone, unsure where I’d sleep. Strap in for one of the most scenic yet dramatic stretches of the whole pilgrimage. 📍 Route (Days 3-5) Los Arcos ➜ Logroño ➜ Santo Domingo de la Calzada ➜ Burgos ➜ Calzadilla de la Cueza 🌟 Episode Highlights • Drone passes over wheat-gold hills outside Logroño • Squeezing through Santo Domingo’s narrow medieval streets • Wind-swept ascent of Montes de Oca with storm clouds rolling in • First sight of Burgos Cathedral at golden hour • Eerie, empty straight road into Calzadilla de la Cueza at dusk—no albergue in sight 😅 ▶️ Missed Part 1?
