EuroVelo 8 – East Route 2023
From Pescia to Athens
10° Day – From Međugorje to Ragusa
Tenth stage, tenth day of the journey and 1200 km now under our belts. Ragusa (ancient name of the city) is perhaps more infamous by its real toponym, Dubrovnik. You only need to have a few years behind you to remember between 1991 and 1992 the long siege that the city suffered during the War […]
9° Day – From Almissa to Međugorje
The ninth stage was the first with the group divided, my desire to pass through Međugorje was too strong also because on the 2017 trip I had missed this appointment. The desire to see new things and bring a commission to the cathedral is too strong. A beautiful journey even if it created a deviation […]
8° Day – From Capocesto to Almissa
What was supposed to be the day of infinity became the day of NO: rain and wind, cold, a hostile climate and little desire to take the bicycle and pedal, but in the end the journey is also this, always continuing towards the destination. This time the destination hadn’t really been decided, but after 95km […]
7° Day – From Zara to Capocesto
The 7th stage of this trip on the Eurovelo8 Easter Route took me from Zadar to Capocesto along the beautiful Croatian coast. A stage that offered beautiful views of the Adriatic Sea thanks also to the particular conformation of the territory which continually insinuates itself into the sea with coves, small beaches, islets always framed […]
6° Day – From Carlopago to Zara
The sixth stage of this exploration of the Eurovelo 8 started from Karlobag towards Zadar, a long stage but with a pleasant altimetry, following the wonderful coast of Croatia. There are many villages and exciting views encountered along the way and the crossing of the stretch of sea that separates the island hosting Zadar […]
5° Day – From Fiume to Carlopago
Fifth stage of our Eurovelo 8 under finally drier weather or so we thought. Departure from Rijeka towards …. unknown! In reality we had two alternatives, the first, to make a short stage of about 70/80, the second to venture up to Carlopago covering almost 130km even today. At the time of departure we […]

EuroVelo 8 – Spanish Route 2018
From Forte dei Marmi to Valencia 2018
2nd Step of Eurovelo 8 a cycling adventure of over 1300 km from Forte dei Marmi to Valencia. Facing the journey are Paolo Pagni, CEO of Cicloturismo, a leading Italian website in the sector and close collaborator of the Animo Onlus Foundation, and Antony Ferrari. The project is aimed at supporting and promoting sustainable, alternative mobility: Paolo and Antony will have the delicate task of raising awareness of the issue among the people they meet on their journey.
The “Eurovelo 8” route is part of the European cycle path system which aims to connect the entire continent with itineraries specifically designed for cycling. Most of the Eurovelo routes, including number 8, are under development, so Paolo and Antony will have to personally map out the itinerary to cycle day by day.
Paolo and Antony will cross 3 countries: Italy, France and Spain.
Valencia is the arrival point of the 2nd step of Eurovelo 8, but Paolo and Antony’s adventure will not end here. Their goal is in fact to complete a sort of duathlon studied and developed independently. Once they arrive in the city, after having traveled over 1,300 km by bicycle, they will face the Valencia Marathon.
