    An emblematic site for cyclists since it is the Patron Saint of Spanish Cyclists. The road is very frequented by lovers of two wheels with some magnificent landscapes.

    History: Almost 60 years ago an extraordinary journey happened.
    On August 8, 1960, young cyclists Luis and Ángel Serrano from Bilbao and José Luis Sáenz from Vitoria arrived with their bicycles in Rome to be received in audience by Pope John XXIII.
    In that luggage they carried the petition for the canonical declaration of the Virgin of Dorleta as patron saint of cyclists.
    Tired but happy, they returned to the capital of Vitoria, and on the 28th of that same month, the Virgin of Dorleta was proclaimed "Patroness of Spanish cyclists".
