Spain has so many fantastic roads – but not so many have been given names beyond their road numbers. Okay, the Via de la Plata dates back to the Romans and the Camino de Santiago is an ancient Christian pilgrimage route… but the SIlent Route is a comparatively modern thing. 

​

It's also a relatively short run, where the hills of Aragon rub shoulders with one of the wilder corners of the Community of Valencia – very handy for one of my favourite places, the beautiful hill-town of Morella. 

 

So this full-day ride starts and finishes in Morella (complementing the Morella route from Europe for Bikers) and takes in the Silent Route – as well as a host of other quiet, twisty, scenic roads.

 

This  means you can use Morella as a base for three nights, to cloverleaf out on two gorgeous rides. Just remember to keep quiet about it…
