The Camino de Santiago is an experience that has captivated millions of pilgrims for centuries. Although it has traditionally been done on foot, in recent years more and more people are choosing to travel this ancient route on two wheels, enjoying the freedom and adventure that this modality offers.
However, transporting the bike to the starting point and back home can become a headache. How should we do it? At Masquetaxi we give you all the answers.
How to transport your bike to the Camino de Santiago?
There are several options for transporting your bike to the start of the Camino and back home:
- Transport by specialized companies . At Masquetaxi we have a Transport Vehicle with Driver service from the airport and the center of Santiago to any point in Galicia or other regions. We will collect your bicycle from your home and deliver it to the starting point of the route you have chosen. Once you have finished the Camino, you can request that it be sent back to you.
- Public transport . It is also possible to transport your bike on trains and buses. However, you should check in advance the conditions and restrictions of each company, as some may require partial disassembly of the bike or the use of special bags.
- Own vehicle. This option offers greater flexibility, but you must take into account fuel and parking costs.
