Trail races in Spain

Spain's trail races stretch from the Pyrenees and Cantabrian peaks of the north to the volcanic terrain of the Canary Islands, taking in Mediterranean coastal paths, the limestone Serra de Tramuntana in Mallorca, and the rugged sierras of Andalusia and Murcia. Courses wind through beech forests, ancient stone villages, terraced vineyards in Catalonia's Priorat, and the granite highlands of the Sierra de Guadarrama above Madrid. Whether exploring UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in Asturias or tackling serious vertical in the Eastern Pyrenees, runners encounter technical climbs, historic pilgrimage routes, and landscapes shaped by centuries of agriculture.
