Traversing the Iberian Peninsula from Irun, at the Bay of Biscay in Europe to Sidi Ifni in the south of Morocco, Africa.
Embark on an unparalleled journey that bridges two continents, uniting the rugged terrains of Europe and Africa through the power of pedal. The 2-Continents Adventure is a self-supported, unsupported bikepacking challenge that spans from the Atlantic shores of Irun, Spain, to the Atlantic coast of Sidi Ifni, Morocco. Riders will traverse diverse landscapes, from the Iberian Peninsula’s quiet paved routes to Morocco’s remote deserts and mountains.
The 2-Continents Adventure is a single-stage, unsupported bike adventure across the Iberian Peninsula, following mostly unpaved routes and trails. The road route option is entirely on paved roads, with its highest point at the 3398m Pico Veleta.
