CiclaMadrid Connects!

Cycle tourism in the Region

Who would have thought that the Madrid region is a small microcosm where, in addition to extensive urban spaces, you find dense pine and holm oak forests, alpine summits, vineyards and olive groves, steppes and charming villages filled with life… Madrid offers travellers a whole world for discovery within a radius of maximum one hour: four enclaves listed by Unesco as World Heritage Sites, an ensemble of 11 “Towns of Madrid” that reflect all the history, traditional architecture and charm of our region, a rich, varied and little-known natural environment. Travellers from and the world can discover us in a very simple, eco-friendly, accessible and healthy way. And what could be better than using a bike, on a route that connects all of these attractions with cuisine, crafts, traditions and landscape. Madrid is rich and diverse. Madrid is more than Madrid.
