Cycling is becoming a way of transport more than a sport in many countries but not yet in Spain.
Anyway, in Europe there are thousands of wonderful places for cycling and here in Spain too. If you want to spend a day on your bike and, at the same time, enjoy the summer days near the coast, do not doubt to try the following route in Pontevedra, Spain. It is a route from the regal noble town of Cambados to the island of Arousa.
The route starts in Cambados, a town full of history and magnificent architecture. In this town, it outstands the Pazo de Fefiñáns. The route is along the coast, with a fantastic view of the beautiful and quiet Atlantic Ocean. The next stop is the Illa de Aoursa, the biggest island of Galicia. It is joined to the land by a bridge. On this island, there are remains of old civilizations that recall when it was an isolated island. It is a paradise island because it is not very exploited and there are almost 80 wild beaches and some of them with a blue flag rating.
You must know this island is rich in fauna and flora, and it is the perfect place to enjoy the different species of birds.
