Winners of the XIII Pangea Routes Contest
Last Friday, February 22, we had our presentation party for the 2019 travel program at Rompeolas in Madrid. We announce the winners of our 2019 photography contest.
Bike trip along the Smugglers' Route
FROM AUGUST 15 TO 18. We return with new mountain bike routes through Bertiz, this very special border area within the Pyrenees. And as in recent years, we have chosen the transversal theme of smuggling, as it has long been one of the fundamental occupations for many of the inhabitants of these mountains bordering France. The black market and its mischief determined what was produced, how it was traded and ultimately how the people lived in this region.
Hiking through the Sierras de Cazorla Natural Park
NOVEMBER 9, 10 and 11. For the Almudena Bridge we will head south. We are going to Cazorla, a town that gives its name to the largest protected natural area in our country, in the province of Jaén. There are many attractions of this enormous Natural Park, but what stands out is that it is the cradle of the Guadalquivir River, which originates in these calcareous mountain ranges.
Hiking in Cabo de Gata, December bridge
FROM DECEMBER 6 TO 9. We return to Cabo de Gata, 25 years after our first route there. A very unique natural space, that almost desert-like landscape, so exotic, hides a rich natural biodiversity that offers us multiple surprises. As if that were not enough, its beaches and towns complement a very special trip where we can take refuge from the winter cold.
Following the Smugglers' route by mountain bike
FROM AUGUST 15 TO 19. We return with new routes in Bertiz, this very special border area within the Pyrenees. And as in recent years, we have chosen the transversal theme of smuggling, as it has long been one of the fundamental occupations for many of the inhabitants of these mountains bordering France. The black market and its mischief determined what was produced, how it was traded and ultimately how the people lived in this region.
The winning photos of our XII photography contest
Last Friday evening we met at Rompeolas in Madrid, to present our 2018 travel program, award the awards for our 2018 Photography and Video Contests, and announce the winners of our contests.
The French Way of Santiago
The Camino de Santiago, also known as the Jacobean Route, is possibly the best-known Grand Tour itinerary in Spain. Since the Middle Ages it has been used as a pilgrimage route to the city where the remains of the Apostle Santiago the Greater are supposed to be found, Santiago de Compostela.
Los Arribes del Duero an ecotourism destination
The Arribes del Duero make up one of the largest border protected areas in all of Europe, in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, between Spain and Portugal.
The Route of the Cid. From Burgos to Valencia by mountain bike.
FROM SEPTEMBER 3 TO 11. To end the summer we propose a mountain bike trip that is a classic in Pangea Routes: La Ruta del Cid. From Burgos to Valencia, an impressive mountain bike journey.
Forests of the North of Navarra
The north of Navarra is the Pyrenees, culture, landscapes and above all forests, perhaps the most beautiful forests in Spain: Irati, Quinto Real, Bertiz, Orgi, a delight.
Cycling along the Moselle River
FROM AUGUST 13 TO 21. We suggest you travel the most spectacular section of this international cycle tour through France, the border of Luxembourg and Germany. From the French city of Metz. A perfectly conditioned bike path that crosses with hardly any unevenness a region with a winegrowing tradition since Roman times.
