National bicycle strategy

The State Cycling Strategy comprises a series of actions aimed at promoting cycling in all areas. It received approval from the Government during the Council of Ministers meeting on 8 June 2021. While the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility oversees the implementation of this strategy, its actions, due to their transversal nature, engage all three levels of public administration alongside organisations from the civil, professional, and academic sectors.
This Strategy sets out five strategic priorities:
- To advance in sustainable mobility through a modal shift to bicycle use.
- To promote a healthy lifestyle through active mobility.
- To harness the potential of cycle tourism.
- To encourage and protect cycling leisure and sport.
- To coordinate the action of the State in promoting cycling.
The cycling route viewer España en bicicleta (Spain by bicycle) is an essential tool to meet these challenges. It aims to provide quality information and easy access and interpretation of our country's primary intercity cycling routes. These routes can be utilised for daily commuting, leisure cycling, or cycling tourism. With the information from this viewer, individuals can select the itinerary that best suits their preferences, needs, and abilities. Thus, it becomes easier and safer for anyone to use a bicycle.
