This
is the result of an ambitious project born in 1995, when I just wanted
to make some routes known across the region. Eventually 30 have come out,
with 5.200 km. and 300 villages visited, besides a thorough compilation
of practical data.
EXTREMADURA
EN BICI is not just a book for cyclist and cyclotourists, it´s a
different way of getting to know Estremadura and its surroundings.

As
you can see, the 30 routes cover the entirety of the land and are located
very near toone another, so as to make "à la carte" plans possible.
