Plan your Camino by bike

The bike programmes do not include bike hire; this is an optional service that you can request separately.

We have MTBs, E-Bikes and Gravel bikes, all specifically prepared for cycle touring and for trips such as the Camino de Santiago, where dirt and cobbled paths are combined with sections on asphalt. You can check all the information about our bikes here .

All our bikes include a complete set of equipment consisting of: a pair of waterproof panniers with a capacity of 20 litres each, a brand-new water bottle, a multi-tool kit, air pump, a lock and a puncture repair kit. The only items not included are the helmet and the GOBIK technical cycling jersey, which are not hired out for hygiene reasons, although you have the option to purchase them brand new.

If you wish, you can hire the bike without equipment, although it is not recommended. Even if your luggage is transported during the stages, it is advisable to always carry panniers on the bike with a puncture repair kit, the multi-tool and the lock for any unexpected issue or stop in the middle of the stage.

Your rental bike will be delivered to the first accommodation the night before you start the Camino. If you have booked your own accommodation, you will need to make sure they accept delivery of the bike.

The bikes are sent in a special shipping box almost fully assembled; however, you will need to adjust the handlebar to your height and fit the pedals. To do this, you will have the multi-tool and simple instructions inside the box of your hire bike.

No, unfortunately we cannot hire out only the equipment from our bikes.

Assistance on the Camino is a service designed for our rental bikes and we cannot offer it if you are travelling with your own bike, as we do not know its initial condition or whether it is prepared for a route such as the Camino de Santiago.

If we manage all your accommodations, we will ensure that each one has a safe place for bikes, where you can leave it securely while you sleep. If, on the other hand, you manage your own accommodations, it is important to check this when making your reservation. You should inform the reception staff that you have a bike to store when you arrive at the accommodation.

If you get injured or feel tired, you can use the 24-hour assistance phone number so that we can arrange a transfer for you and your bike to the next accommodation. If the injury is due to one of the causes covered by your travel insurance, the cost of the transfer may be covered by that insurance. In all other cases, the cost of the transfer must be paid directly on the spot.

If it is one of our rental bikes, you will have a puncture repair kit and a telephone assistance number to tell you how to proceed in the event of a mechanical breakdown. We have a telephone customer service that is only available to customers who have hired our bikes. Through this service, we will guide you and help you repair the puncture; in the event of a breakdown, the technician will assess the procedure to follow.

Depending on each Camino, the most common thing is to find a combination of trails and asphalt. Depending on your physical fitness and the type of bike you are travelling with, you may be able to use many of the dirt sections prepared for pilgrims on foot, thus avoiding cycling on asphalt. If, on the other hand, your physical fitness is more limited and your bike is not entirely suitable for the Camino, you can use the existing variants that run on asphalt, as in some cases the trail sections of the route are not suitable for pilgrims by bike because they are too narrow, too steep or too demanding.
