Murcia to Barcelona

Starting in Murcia, admire its splendid cathedral and taste the authentic Murcian tapas. A pleasant stroll along the banks of the Segura River will take you to the neighbouring province of Alicante. From Ulldecona, a connection point with Comunitat Valenciana, the stage passes by Ebro Delta and continues to Tarragona on the way to the iconic metropolis of Barcelona.

📢 Important information regarding the province of Valencia:
Following the severe floods that occurred in October 2024, some sections of EuroVelo 8 have been affected and may not be rideable, especially in the southern area of the city of Valencia, between Alfafar and Sueca. 🌊❌

The city of Valencia and the northern sections remain rideable. ✅
For now, there is no detailed information about the level of damage in each area. 👉 Follow EuroVelo Spain on social media to be kept informed about the situation.

Development status

Certified These sections were awarded the official EuroVelo Certification label, ensuring high-quality cycling conditions.They were surveyed in the field by EuroVelo Route Inspectors to respect minimum requirements for motorised traffic levels, surface quality, EuroVelo signage, and access to services as defined by the European Certification Standard (ECS) methodology. EuroVelo Certified routes are the best options for beginners!
Developed + Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic, rideable surfaces, and EuroVelo signs along the route. Developed routes with signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app as signs can have defects.
Developed + Not Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic and rideable surfaces, but without EuroVelo signs. Developed routes without signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is warmly recommended to bring a map or navigation app.
Partially Developed + Signed Cycling is possible here, but conditions vary. Some stretches may have high motorised traffic or poor surfaces, even though EuroVelo signs are in place. Partially developed routes with signs are suitable for experienced cyclists only, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app and check national/regional websites for more information. ECF and National EuroVelo Coordination Centres are working on improvements.
