Tour description
Experience a unique journey that connects three remarkable Spanish provinces in one trip: Teruel, Castellón, and Valencia.
Your adventure begins in Teruel, a city celebrated for its architecture recognized as UNESCO World Heritage. From the wide, open plains of Teruel, the route leads you toward the legendary Sierra de Javalambre and through a landscape that shifts dramatically as you ride. You’ll follow the Palancia River, the most important waterway in Castellón, and explore the stunning natural beauty of the Sierra Espadán and Sierra Calderona Natural Parks.
The tour concludes in Valencia, where the Mediterranean Sea and the impressive Albufera Natural Park—home to one of Spain’s most iconic lagoons—welcome you at the end of this unforgettable cycling journey.
This journey along Spain’s longest greenway combines striking landscapes, rich heritage, and Mediterranean charm. In one trip, you’ll explore three provinces—Teruel, Castellón, and Valencia—cycling through mountain scenery, fertile valleys, and toward the sea. Highlights include UNESCO-listed Mudéjar art, the story of the Lovers of Teruel, impressive viaducts and tunnels, and beautiful natural areas such as the Sierra Espadán and Sierra Calderona parks, the Palancia River, El Salto de la Novia, and the Albufera lagoon. You’ll ride through forests of kermes oaks and fields of olives, almonds, persimmons, and oranges, pass the celebrated Elm of Navajas, and follow sections of iconic routes like the Way of Cid, Vía Churra, and Vía Augusta. With opportunities for truffle tourism, stargazing, and a vibrant finale in stylish Valencia, this is an unforgettable all-year adventure.
Itinerary
Relax in Albarracín
Show dayElevation gain: 596 m
After breakfast, you begin your ride along the Ojos Negros Greenway—once the railway route used to transport coal from the hinterlands (Ojos Negros) to the Mediterranean port of Sagunto.
Along the way, you’ll pass small inland villages like Gea de Albarracín and Cella, home to Europe’s largest artesian well, dating back to the 12th century.
Your destination is Teruel, city of the Lovers of Teruel, capital of Mudéjar art, and UNESCO World Heritage site. Discover its rich cultural and architectural treasures including the Neomudéjar staircase, Torre del Salvador, Plaza del Torico, the Mausoleum of the Lovers, the cathedral, Puente de Piedra, and the Portal de San Roque. Teruel is also renowned for its gastronomy—particularly its exquisite black truffles.
Elevation gain: 481 m
Leaving Teruel, you cycle toward Estación Mora. The route leads you through the recreational area of Fuente Cerrada, with its pine forests and riverbank vegetation, before climbing up to Puerto de Escandón, an old mining station.
You then cross the Sierra de Javalambre and descend toward Puebla de Valverde, where the former mining station La Fondica offers a lovely outdoor terrace for a break.
From Puebla de Valverde to Sarrión and Albentosa, you ride across impressive stone bridges, viaducts, and tunnels surrounded by magnificent kermes-oak landscapes. This region is home to the world’s largest production of black truffles.
Your day ends at Estación Mora, where you can enjoy unique experiences such as truffle tourism or stargazing—this area boasts one of the clearest night skies in Spain thanks to minimal light pollution.
Elevation gain: 292 m
Today’s stage takes you to Segorbe, whose historic center is listed as a Site of Cultural Interest and serves as the capital of Alto Palancia.
Much of the route is downhill. You’ll cross the Albentosa tunnel and emerge onto the highest viaduct of the entire Greenway—an unforgettable viewpoint. Past the old El Palancar mining station, you enter the province of Castellón.
Ride through the forests of El Palancar, rich in Valencian oaks and kermes oaks, and continue through the charming villages of Barracas, Caudiel, Jérica, and Navajas. From the Ragudo viewpoint, enjoy sweeping views of the Sierra Calderona and Sierra Espadán Natural Parks.
Don’t miss Navajas’ El Salto de la Novia, a 60m waterfall, or the historic Elm of Navajas (planted in 1636 and elected Spain’s Tree of the Year in 2019).
Finally, cross the Sierra Calderona Natural Park to reach Segorbe, where you’ll have a free afternoon to explore its atmospheric old town.
Elevation gain: 179 m
From Segorbe, the route leads through villages surrounded by orange groves and the foothills of the Sierra Calderona: Algimia de Alfara, Torres-Torres, and Los Valles.
When you reach Canet d’En Berenguer, the Mediterranean Sea greets you with its long promenade and one of Spain’s most beautiful—and most awarded—Blue Flag beaches.
You may also visit the 30-meter lighthouse, the 19th-century Saavedra Palace, and the 18th-century Church of Saint Peter.
Elevation gain: 160 m
Leaving Canet d’En Berenguer, you follow the Vía Churra and Vía Augusta. Ride along the Mediterranean coast and through the heart of Valencia’s historic vegetable gardens.
Arriving in Valencia—birthplace of painter Joaquín Sorolla and writer Blasco Ibáñez—you enter a city where history and modernity meet.
If you didn’t have time to visit on Day 1, explore its UNESCO-listed gems and architectural highlights: the Cathedral, the Water Tribunal, La Lonja, Torres de Serranos, Plaza de Toros, and the Central Market.
On the modern side, discover the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences. The Turia riverbed park—Valencia’s green lung—is another iconic feature of the city.
Elevation gain: 79 m
No trip to Valencia is complete without visiting the spectacular Albufera Natural Park—223 km² of rice fields, forests, dunes, and unforgettable sunsets.
Walk through the El Saler meadow, home to many endemic species, and explore the traditional fishing village of El Palmar with its typical Valencian houses. Be sure to try the local specialty All i Pebre.
This evocative landscape inspired Blasco Ibáñez’s famous novel Cañas y Barro. After this sensory-filled experience, cycle back to Valencia for one last evening in the city.

I was provided with Ride with GPS files in advance and a host of maps and other information upon arrival in Prague. They also use the "Trip Plans" app, which not only gives you the routes, but historical and other information about the towns you will be passing through and restaurant recommendations!
Great communication during the ride as well - even making a route change along the way due to road construction (they updated the Ride with GPS file in seemingly real time).
I have done a dozen or so self-guided solo bike trips around the world and often have had very little support - this team made it easy and they were always just a WhatsApp text or call away.
Looking at booking my next tour with them now...
Thanks!

The Czech Republic is full of history, interesting places, and lovely scenery.
Speaking of lodging! What wonderful picks! We were always close to restaurants. In Prague and Dresden we were near the trolley lines so we were able to get to the sites easily.
Our bikes worked well for the terrain, which was sometimes smooth and sometimes bumpy.
We were connected to staff via WhatsApp and they were quick to respond when we had a question.
We would use them again.

The castles and the medieval atmosphere alongside nature and agriculture are simply charming. Along the way, we met deer, horses, geese, cows, and more. The trip is independent, but the help of Euro-Bike, which included bike rental, hotel reservations in the most perfect places, and the hopping of our luggage from hotel to hotel, makes the trip easy and simple. It saved me a lot of work and took away unnecessary stress. The new app makes it even easier and more convenient. I recommend it to anyone who loves bikes.

Tour Prague - Vienna Greenways Tour - Short
I participated in the Prague-Vienna Greenway with my 16-year-old son.
We opted for the self-guided option, and it was a wonderful experience.
My son was very excited about cycling between the well-known cities of Prague and Vienna, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment when we arrived.
This was my first time in the Czech Republic, and the atmosphere was very different from other Western European countries I had visited.
Along the way, we were able to experience the diverse beauty of the Czech Republic, with endless wheat fields, the atmosphere of the small villages we passed, and the pure forest air.
I was a little worried about my son's physical condition, but the route allowed for shortcuts such as taking the train, so we were able to reach the finish line safely.
The choice of towns and hotels we stayed in was very well-balanced, and we had a comfortable stay. Our checked luggage was always there when we arrived, so the operation was excellent.
Even though there was no guide during the tour, support members were always available via chat, so we were able to proceed without any worries. We were provided with plenty of information about towns and dining spots before the start, and when we needed real-time support on the spot, such as choosing shortcuts, they responded immediately, making it feel like we were with a guide.
Japanese people are probably dying to go to Italy or France, but the Czech Republic allows you to fully experience Europe and there are many cyclists to be seen, so I think it's perfect for people who prefer a more unconventional itinerary.
Thank you so much to everyone at Europe Bike Tours!
I'd love to come again.

An unforgettable cycling experience: Prague – Vienna – Bratislava – Budapest
I've just completed a spectacular bike tour from Prague to Budapest, passing through Vienna and Bratislava — all organized by a small Czech company called Europe-Bike-Tours Team. They were outstanding in every way.
The organization was flawless: perfectly prepared GPS tracks, comfortable and well-chosen accommodations, great food, logistical support, and detailed tourist information. I didn’t have to worry about anything – just ride and enjoy.
The route itself was amazing: low-traffic roads, beautiful weather, charming towns like Tábor, Jindřichův Hradec, Telč, Vranov, Znojmo, Mikulov, Poysdorf, Győr, Komárom, Esztergom… all accompanied by excellent food, fantastic wines, and of course, great beer!
I highly recommend Europe-Bike-Tours Team. They don't just organize cycling trips — they create truly memorable journeys with great care and professionalism. If you're considering a bike tour through Central Europe, look no further.
A huge thank you for an unforgettable adventure!
