For many casual and urban cyclists in Spain, the Royal Spanish Cycling Federation (Real Federación Española de Ciclismo) hasn't really meant a great deal up to now, being as it was more traditionally focussed on competitive and sports cycling.
However, that looks set to change with the Federation's drive to publish cycling routes from all corners of Spain as part of its aim to promote cycling at all levels, in all modes and in all areas.
With the publication of the "Rutas en Bici" section in its website, the Federation aims to provide a hub where cyclists can upload and download routes from any part of Spain, together with maps and information about route distances, descriptions, points of interest, degree of difficulty, images and videos. The routes can also be downloaded in GPX format.
Users can download the routes that have already been published and upload their own routes via the "yosoyciclista" section in the RFEC website (available in Spanish):
