Why Pamplona is one of Spain's best cycling destinations
Pamplona has become one of the most attractive cycling destinations in northern Spain thanks to its privileged location between the Pyrenees, the Camino de Santiago and the diverse landscapes of Navarra.
From here you can enjoy an extraordinary variety of rides:
- Mountain climbs in the Pyrenees
- Quiet country roads through traditional villages
- Gravel routes across forests and natural parks
- The famous Camino de Santiago
- The spectacular Bardenas Reales desert landscape
- The green valleys of Baztan and Roncal
- Historic towns, castles and medieval villages
Many international cyclists choose to stay several nights in Pamplona because it allows them to explore completely different routes without changing accommodation every day.
Whether you are planning a weekend cycling break or a longer holiday in Navarra, Pamplona offers excellent food, modern services, bike shops, beautiful scenery and easy access to some of Spain's most rewarding cycling routes.
Why cyclists choose our apartments
Cyclists have very different priorities from ordinary travellers.
After riding for several hours, comfort is important, but practical facilities are often even more valuable. The ability to recover properly, prepare for the next stage and keep expensive cycling equipment safe can make a significant difference to the overall journey.
At Apartamentos Turísticos Larrabide, every apartment has been designed to provide the comfort and convenience that active travellers appreciate most.
Secure indoor bicycle storage
For many cyclists, the bicycle is their most valuable possession.
Whether you ride a lightweight carbon road bike, a gravel bike, a mountain bike, an e-bike or a fully loaded touring bicycle, leaving it outside overnight is rarely an attractive option.
Our apartments include secure indoor bicycle storage, allowing you to store your bike safely inside the building, protected from theft, bad weather and unnecessary damage.
This is especially appreciated by guests cycling the Camino de Santiago, long-distance bikepackers and riders travelling with high-end equipment.
Instead of worrying about where to leave your bicycle, you can relax knowing it is safely stored indoors until your next ride.
A fully equipped kitchen
Cyclists often prefer preparing at least one meal themselves.
A fully equipped kitchen allows you to cook exactly what you need, whether that is a high-carbohydrate dinner before a mountain stage or a healthy breakfast before an early departure.
It also provides flexibility for riders following specific nutritional plans or travelling for several weeks across Europe.
Having your own kitchen is one of the main advantages of staying in an apartment instead of a traditional hotel room.
Private washing machine
After a long day on the bike, clean cycling clothes quickly become essential.
Every apartment includes a private washing machine, allowing you to wash jerseys, bib shorts and other equipment whenever you need.
Many cyclists travelling for several days appreciate not having to search for a laundrette or carry unnecessary changes of clothing.
Fresh cycling kit every morning makes every stage more enjoyable.
Air conditioning throughout the apartment
Summer temperatures in northern Spain can be surprisingly warm.
After hours of riding under the sun, returning to a cool apartment helps your body recover more comfortably.
Every apartment is fully air conditioned, providing a pleasant indoor temperature during the hottest months of the year.
Good recovery starts with a comfortable environment.
Comfortable beds for proper recovery
Recovery is one of the most important parts of any cycling holiday.
A comfortable mattress, a peaceful environment and a good night's sleep help your muscles recover before the following day's ride.
Many guests tell us that sleeping well after demanding stages is one of the reasons they choose apartments rather than busy shared accommodation.
Quiet location close to the city centre
Our apartments are located in a peaceful residential neighbourhood, allowing guests to enjoy a quiet night's sleep while remaining within easy reach of Pamplona's historic centre.
Restaurants, supermarkets, cafés and public transport are all nearby, making it easy to enjoy the city without sacrificing tranquillity.
For cyclists, this combination of accessibility and peace is particularly valuable after a demanding day's ride.
Explore Navarra by bike from Pamplona
Pamplona is not only a convenient overnight stop. It is also one of the best bases for discovering the incredible variety of cycling routes that Navarra has to offer.
Within less than two hours you can ride through high mountain passes, ancient forests, medieval villages, vineyards, river valleys and even semi-desert landscapes. Few regions in Europe offer such diverse scenery in such a compact area.
Whether you enjoy challenging road climbs, quiet gravel tracks or multi-day bikepacking adventures, Pamplona provides easy access to unforgettable rides.
Cycling the Camino de Santiago
Pamplona is one of the best-known stops on the French Way of the Camino de Santiago.
Many cyclists spend one or two nights here after crossing the Pyrenees from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and Roncesvalles before continuing towards Puente la Reina, Estella and Logroño.
A rest day allows you to recover, wash your clothes, explore the historic centre and prepare both yourself and your bike for the following stages.

👉 Where to Stay in Pamplona on the Camino de Santiago
Ride into the Pyrenees
The western Pyrenees are one of Europe's classic cycling destinations.
From Pamplona you can easily reach legendary mountain roads, peaceful valleys and spectacular viewpoints that attract cyclists from all over the world.
Popular destinations include:
- Roncesvalles
- Isaba
- Ochagavía
- Belagua Valley
- Larra
- French border climbs
These routes combine demanding ascents with breathtaking scenery and quiet roads.
Discover the Irati Forest
The Irati Forest is one of the largest beech and fir forests in Europe.
Cyclists particularly enjoy its peaceful mountain roads, fresh air and beautiful natural surroundings.
Autumn is especially spectacular, although the area offers excellent riding conditions throughout much of the year.
Explore the Baztan Valley
The Baztan Valley offers gentle climbs, traditional Basque villages and beautiful green landscapes.
It is an excellent destination for cyclists looking for quieter roads and authentic rural scenery away from the busiest tourist routes.
The combination of rolling hills, historic architecture and excellent local cuisine makes it one of Navarra's hidden gems.
The unique landscapes of Bardenas Reales
For something completely different, head south towards the Bardenas Reales Natural Park.
This UNESCO Biosphere Reserve offers dramatic desert scenery unlike anywhere else in northern Spain.
Its quiet roads and wide-open landscapes make it an unforgettable destination for road cyclists, gravel riders and bikepacking enthusiasts.
Road cycling, gravel and bikepacking
Navarra is one of the few regions where different styles of cycling can be enjoyed within a short distance.
Road cyclists appreciate the smooth mountain roads and famous climbs.
Gravel riders can explore forest tracks, quiet rural lanes and natural parks.
Bikepacking travellers enjoy the extensive network of secondary roads linking villages, mountains and historic towns across the region.
Whatever your preferred style of riding, Pamplona is an ideal starting point.
Why stay several nights?
Many cyclists initially plan to stay just one night before deciding to extend their visit.
Using Pamplona as your base allows you to explore different parts of Navarra without repeatedly packing your luggage or changing accommodation.
Instead of rushing from place to place, you can enjoy day rides in different directions while returning each evening to the comfort of your apartment.
For many visitors, this results in a far more relaxing and rewarding cycling holiday.
Why choose an apartment instead of a hotel?
Hotels certainly have their advantages, but many cyclists discover that a fully equipped apartment offers a much more comfortable experience, especially during longer cycling holidays.
Having your own kitchen allows you to prepare meals whenever you choose, without depending on restaurant opening hours. A private washing machine means you can wash your cycling kit every evening, reducing the amount of clothing you need to carry. Spacious living areas provide somewhere to relax, stretch and plan the next day's route.
Most importantly, secure indoor bicycle storage gives complete peace of mind. Expensive road bikes, gravel bikes and e-bikes remain protected overnight instead of being left outside or in shared storage areas.
For riders travelling through northern Spain or completing the Camino de Santiago by bike, these practical advantages often become the deciding factor when choosing accommodation.
