Oak of Eraul. This three was born when in Europe still do not knew America. For us it is the beginning of the descent.
We are crossing Tierra Estella. At the background we begin to glimpse the Cantabria Range, which will serve as a horizon for a long time. To the right, the Sierra de Codés, there we go.
After the explosive kilometre that starts in Otiñano, we descend along the "Passenger path" at the doors of Santuario de Codés.
Aguilar mountain pass, we leave behind the Sierra de Codes. Ahead... 13 kilometres of descent to Viana.
Logroño, the city of wine.
Scenes of the route on the banks of the Ebro.
The route goes deep into the Cameros Viejo Range.
Overwhelming Leza river Canyon. The road, at the top, almost fly over the river.

Criteria used in the 6 levels that we have chosen for the ranking of the routes:
- Walks or family routes: Routes with light slopes and little travel. Suitable for untrained family groups or for people who usually don't use the bike
- Easy: Routes with a slope that can reach 1000 meters but facing none of the large ports.
The distance will range between 40 and 60 kilometers. - Moderate: Routes with one of the "great" ports or a combination of similar difficulty. The slopes can be really important and slopes can range between 1000 and 2000 meters.
The distance will vary between 60 and 100 kilometers. - Hard: Routes with a slope ranging around 2500 meters. There may have to ascend 2 ports of the "greats" or one and several of the "minor".
The distance will vary between 90 and 130 kilometers. - Very hard: Routes ranging from the 2500 and 4000 meters of altitude. Sometimes there may have to ascend the 3 ports of the '' greats ''.
The distance will exceed the 100 kilometers and may reach up to 200 km. - Challenge: In these times there is a public that demands "more" yet. To them arises the concept of "challenge": stages of more than a day in "non-stop" mode, 4500-5000 or even more meters of altitude routes, individual or group time trial with 3000 meters of altitude and over 100 kilometers of route.
Finally, a variety of what riders would usually call "nonsense" which to be more elegant, here we call it, 'Challenges'.
