Velo Trans-España: Biking Through Spain's Fascinating Cultural Landscapes
Half a year after their impressive bike tour through Morocco and Western Sahara, Elke and Thomas take the audience on a new journey: The bike travel lecture Velo Trans-España tells about an extraordinary ride across Spain to the French border at the Bay of Biscay.
From the Strait of Gibraltar Northward
The starting point of the journey is the Spanish side of the Strait of Gibraltar – that strait which separates Europe and Africa. From there, the route leads northward through Andalusia, Extremadura, Castile, La Rioja, and Navarra. Scenic contrasts, historical cities, and regional traditions shape this journey through Spain's cultural heritage.
Historical Pilgrimage Routes on Two Wheels
Special impressions promise the ride along historical pilgrimage paths. The Via de la Plata and Camino Francés connect the experience of landscapes, local history, and European cultural history. The lecture shows how well-known routes can be rediscovered from the perspective of a bike journey.
Landscapes, Cities, and Traditions
Between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, the full diversity of the Iberian Peninsula unfolds: changing natural spaces, historically rich places, and regional specialties turn the journey into an intense discovery experience. The images and narratives convey authentic impressions of being on the road, the challenges of a long bike tour, and the encounters along the way.
An Evening for Explorers
Thomas Häfner combines personal travel experiences with the cultural and geographical peculiarities of Spain. The evening at Babylon Cinema in the city park offers an inspiring city and cultural event for all who are interested in bike travel, pilgrimage routes, European history, and extraordinary travel destinations.
Conclusion
Velo Trans-España opens a vivid view of Spain between the Strait of Gibraltar, Via de la Plata, Camino Francés, and the Bay of Biscay. Secure your seat and experience a cultural enrichment full of landscapes, history, and authentic travel impressions.
