EuroVelo 1 from Valladolid to Tordesillas along the Pisuerga and the Duero

A stage of EuroVelo 1, the European Atlantic Coast cycle route, from Valladolid to Tordesillas along the Pisuerga and Duero valleys. It mixes dirt tracks, farm tracks and stretches of local road through pine woods, riverbanks and cereal fields, with the odd short rise as you climb onto and drop off the páramos (high plateaus). It goes through villages with a bar and a fountain where you can refill, so you don't need to carry much water. A gravel bike or a light mountain bike works well; in the rain the dirt tracks get muddy. The best time is spring and autumn: in summer the heat bites on the plateau and in winter watch out for fog by the river. In Tordesillas you can ride back along the same stage or carry on along EuroVelo 1 towards Toro.
