The Route of the Cid is a cultural tourist trail that retraces the footsteps of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, the great nobleman and warrior known as ‘The Cid’. The itinerary is based on The Poem of the Cid, one of universal literature’s greatest medieval epic poems.
The Route of El Cid starts in Vivar del Cid, in the province of Burgos, taking us through no fewer than eight Spanish provinces: Burgos, Soria, Guadalajara, Zaragoza, Teruel, Castellón, Valencia and Alicante.
The itinerary is divided into themed routes of between 50 and 300 km. Two of them, the Route of Exile and the Borderlands, cross the lands of Castilla y León in the provinces of Burgos and Soria.
The routes are signposted and can be followed either along paths and countryside tracks, or on secondary roads with little traffic.
