I have contacted the Pilgrim’s Office using Google Spanish (I know 🙄 but hopefully shows willing to the staff who undoubtedly speak better, more precise English than I do).
This is what I send to oficinadelperegrino@catedraldecompostela.es ...
Ok. The situation as regards to the Camino, it’s status, and the road rules - ie law - are kindly laid out by others above. Nowhere do they state that the Camino is not intended for bike riders, ebike or not. Rather the opposite in point of...
I feel obliged to say something about E-Bikes. I have walked the frances from StJpdP in 2018. For a different experience, I will be cycling it in July with an E-Bike. I have done a fair bit of training (and still do). Cycling 50-60 km every day...
