Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela sits in Galicia's rolling green hills where pilgrims have ended the Camino for a thousand years. Runners find the terrain mixed — the city centre is hilly but the surrounding countryside offers long forest tracks and quiet country roads without major elevation. Cyclists dominate here: the Ruta BTT do Lacón (76km) and Camelia en BTT polo Val do Ulla (62km) are signature regional races that wind through the wet Galician landscape with sustained climbs and technical singletrack in the eucalyptus and pine forests 20–40km out, while the BTT Ruta Vikinga (42km) offers a tighter alternative closer to the city.
