Spain is synonymous with sunny beaches, good food and the outdoor lifestyle. Tarifa, the southernmost tip of the Iberia, marks the point at which the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic. Here, two continents sit within sight of each other. Modern Spanish culture is infused with its Moorish heritage and there are many architectural treasures that bear witness to its diverse history. EuroVelo 8 will bring you through the most emblematic parts of Spain. Andalucía, in the south, is the home of Flamenco; the region of Murcia is the beating heart of Spain’s agriculture; València is the home of Paella and Catalunya has world-famous cityscapes.
The city of Valencia and the northern sections remain rideable. ✅ For now, there is no detailed information about the level of damage in each area. 👉 Follow EuroVelo Spain on social media to be kept informed about the situation.
