Another way of travelling around the province of Salamanca is by bike, thanks to the different existing routes which are properly signaled and are all together around 1.500 km long.

The centres are located in the municipalities of Aldeadávila de la Ribera, Bañobárez, Barruecopardo, Cristóbal de la Sierra, Hinojosa de Duero, Ledesma, Pereña de la Ribera, Saucelle y Sobradillo; besides, there is a tourism cycle path, called Bajo Tormes, and the GR 80 route, between Ciudad Rodrigo and the Portuguese municipality of Almeida.

There are more than 50 cycle paths for those ones who just want to enjoy a walk with some friends or family, or for the most self-demanding sportmen and sportwomen. The landscape keeps on changing at the same time the route runs through the mountain area, the quiet holm oak and cattle meadows and the amazing canyons of Las Arribes del Duero.

Thus, landscapes such as the Puente Mocho -near Ledesma-,thel Pozo de los Humos -between Pereña and Masueco de la Ribera-, the Merchanas fortified settlement –next to Lumbrales-, or the lookouts of La Code o El Picón de Felipe are nowadays available for those ones who enjoy cycling.

In order to promote this sport, in the year 2016, the Diputación de Salamanca organized the I Circuito Provincial de MTB, an initiative which is thought to keep on taking place in the future.

The Sierra de Béjar, declared UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is also a good place to make a route by bicycle, especially for advanced cyclists and those ones who want to enjoy the amazing mountain views. These are some of the routes:
