Experience the subtle landscapes and interesting villages on a gentle cycle through Catalonia, specially designed for families. Ride across nearly flat or gently rolling terrain, from the green countryside near Girona to the azure Mediterranean Sea. Pedal back into history, as you ride through Roman archways and Medieval squares. Visit two museums dedicated to the fabulous art of Dalí. Discover the ancient history of Iberians and Romans who inhabited the area. Marvel at sturdy town walls, while ancient watchtowers guide you through fields of sunflowers and wheat. Cycle the Ter River Delta and discover the rich fauna of protected wetlands at Aiguamolls.
Once out at the coast, you'll enjoy sandy beaches, quiet coves and the beauty of typical fishing villages. During this three centred cycle holiday, stay in charming rural accommodations housed in historical stone buildings.
Highlights
- Beautiful and extremely varied landscapes, from farmland along the delta and out to the coast
- Inland and coastal routes, passing fields, orchards, villages, river banks and beaches along the way.
- Overnight stays in Medieval villages staying in family friendly renovated historical buildings converted to comfortable rural accommodations
- Delicious regional cuisine and a wide selection of restaurants for dining out
Daily bike tours of between 17-57km/10.5-35.5mi on relatively flat terrain. The rides follow well-maintained tarmac roads, country lanes with little traffic and few dirt tracks. We have tried to avoid traffic near larger towns wherever possible. Some days there is an option to do a longer cycle.
