Ride from Barcelona to Girona through the Empordà.

Start your rides along the coast line of the famous Costa Brava sea side to enjoy the best villages of Costa Brava. Discover the Iberian town of Ullastret, the medieval village of Peratallada, and arrive to Gerona passing through the charming village of Cadaqués and the famous city of Figueres.

The Costa Brava, often translated as “wild coast,” is paradise not only for the wild-spirited and wild at heart, but also for those who are simply looking for something a little out of the ordinary. It has something to suit everyone: Along with peaceful villages and a quiet time sunbathing, fun parties.

Discover the Mediveal village of Peratallada. “Peratallada” means “Carved Stone”, and many of the narrow streets and building foundations in this town are just that, literally carved right into the natural rock. There are also ancient cartwheel ruts cut into the road. The town is beautifully kept, and strolling around its cobbled streets you can admire a whole range of well-preserved buildings whose origins date back to pre-Roman times.

Torroella de Montgri is a 13th-14th century urban structure, a good example of classical Roman camp type layout. The old part of the town is surrounded by promenades that trace the path of the former defence walls, of which some remain: the 15th-16th century Torre de les Bruixes (Witches’ Tower), evoking legendary witches who once prevented a Catalan king from entering the town, and the 14th century Santa Caterina gate, the only remaining of the six original entrances to Torroella.

Figueres, the home of the world-famous Spanish artist Salvador Dali and today the location of the Dali Museum. The city is located in the north-eastern Catalonia. With a population of 45.000 inhabitants, is the largest city near the border with France.

Our last stage leads you to Girona has all the charm of a large city but without the crowds; The old town is one of the most evocative historical centres in Catalonia, with certain elements that are unique in Europe: the Carolingian wall, an exceptionally well conserved Jewish quarter, and the grandeur of the Cathedral’s Gothic nave, the widest in the world. Girona also has six museums which possess a heritage collection of great interest.

In TBT we have special care and sensitivity with gay and lesbian groups, since we want them to feel comfortable expressing everything they may need. We have received specific requests to organize one-day tours, getaways or multi-day trips for LGBT groups. The tour in general is the same as the one we can organize for a hetero group, but we pay attention to the small details that will make this group feel more comfortable and better treated in their vacations. We are usually asked for good accommodations.
