“Bicigrino” is a term used on the Camino de Santiago and is a combination of the Spanish words “bici”, meaning bicycle, and “peregrino”, meaning pilgrim1. A Bicigrino is therefore a pilgrim who covers the Camino de Santiago by bicycle21. To receive a Compostela certificate, a Bicigrino must complete at least the last 200 km of a Camino route, ending in Santiago de Compostela. It is a trend that has developed in recent years, with more and more pilgrims choosing to do the Camino de Santiago by bicycle. It's a great way to experience the beautiful landscapes and historic sites along the Camino. 😊

The cathedral was consecrated in 1106 by Bishop Don Pedro Nazar. It later became a collegiate church around 1158 and finally a cathedral after 1232. Since then, it has been the seat of the bishop of Calahorra-La Calzada. Construction of the current church began in 1158, preserving much of the old structure.
