Itinerary of your trip Bicycling Catalonia’S Costa Brava Plus! Barcelona

  • Day 1 Day 1: Girona
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Girona

      We meet in the medieval town of Girona today. We highly recommend coming a day or two early to explore this city and begin your exploration of the Catalan culture. We’ll fit bicycles this afternoon and recommend a test ride along the river bike path before meeting for introductions and dinner together. Distance 0 km / 0 mi

  • Day 2 Day 2: Bicycling Girona To Costa Brava
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Bicycling Girona To Costa Brava

      Today’s ride features a gentle ascent to the highest point in the area. You’ll be rewarded for your efforts with a classic view of the Costa Brava. The van will be there to offer a lift up (or down) for those who prefer. Our descent ends at the sea and from there we’ll follow the sometimes hilly coastal road to our beach front hotel. Enjoy a dip in the Mediterranean, or some people watching this afternoon before dinner together. Distance 61 km / 38 mi

  • Day 3 Day 3: Bicycling Costa Brava To Peratallada
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Bicycling Costa Brava To Peratallada

      Today we’ll ride along the coast to Palamos, a great coffee stop and perfect opportunity for one last dip in the sea before we head inland over rolling hills. Many of the towns we’ll pass through on today’s ride were once fortified Roman and medieval cities, so be sure to take time to meander the tiny streets. Peratallada, our destination this evening, is perhaps the best preserved as the center is entirely pedestrian and the walls still stand. You’ll notice ruts in the stone streets which were created from centuries of horse carts moving through the narrow streets. We’ll stay just outside of town and enjoy this little corner of Catalonia for the next few days. The September 18, 2024 departure will stay at the Hotel Arcs Monells. Distance 40 km / 25 mi

  • Day 4 Day 4: Loop Ride Or Rest Day
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Loop Ride Or Rest Day

      We’ll take a loop ride through the gentle hills of the Baix Emporda region today. We have a special stop planned before la Bisbal d’Emporda just a few kilometers into the ride to visit a local ceramicist. La Bisbal d’Emporda is a great town to enjoy a beverage and explore the boutiques and artist stores - some of which carry traditional pieces while others have expanded into more modern ceramic art. After our visit we’ll continue our loop ride which includes the option of an 8 km (5 miles) climb for anyone wanting a little challenge. The September 18, 2024 departure will stay at the Hotel Arcs Monells. Distance 69 km / 43 mi

  • Day 5 Day 5: Bicycle To Cadaques
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Bicycle To Cadaques

      We’ll head north and inland today through gentle hills and reclaimed marshes that are now the center for the agricultural economy in the area. We’ll suggest a lunch stop in one of these small but historic towns. There is a significant climb to the hotel so anyone who prefers to rest their legs can meet at a café to regroup and shuttle. Everyone else can join local cyclists to conquer the hill that creates a natural barrier and makes this Eastern most peninsula in Spain such a unique natural and geological formation. The September 18th, 2024 departure will stay at the Hotel Sol Ixent. Distance 72 km / 45 mi

  • Day 6 Day 6: Cycle The Cap De Creus Or Enjoy The Beach
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: Cycle The Cap De Creus Or Enjoy The Beach

      Today you have the option to take a day off the bike, or bicycle to the stunning Cap de Creus - the most easterly point of the Iberian Peninsula. It’s a short but hilly ride out and back. For those who prefer a day off the bike, Cadaques has been inspirational to many great artists, including Dali, Miro, Duchamp and Picasso. Find a spot and explore your inner artist, or simply enjoy a day relaxing by the pool. The September 18th, 2024 departure will stay at the Hotel Sol Ixent Distance 18 km / 11 mi

  • Day 7 Day 7: Bicycle To Figueres
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 7: Bicycle To Figueres

      We start our day with a chartered boat ride as we leave Cadaques and navigate around the rocky coastline that isolates the Cap de Creus Natural Park from the rest of the Costa Brava. Once we land in Roses we’ll pedal to Figueres, birthplace of Salvador Dali. We’ll plan a guided tour of the museum this afternoon. Distance 32 km / 20 mi

  • Day 8 Day 8: Bicycle To Olot
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 8: Bicycle To Olot

      Our route takes us along the foothills of the Pyrenees and we’ll enjoy some larger rolling hills on our way to Olot. You’ll notice a change in the landscape as we enter this unique region which was carved out by ancient lava flows from the four volcanoes that border the valley. Our hotel this evening is a restored manor house just outside of town. Distance 76 km / 48 mi

  • Day 9 Day 9: Bicycle Olot To Vic
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 9: Bicycle Olot To Vic

      We head down the Vall d’en Bas before climbing up and over towards the headwaters of the River Ter - one of the larger rivers in Catalonia. Stop at the top for lunch before heading down towards Vic. A town of ancient Roman and Iberian origin Vic preserves one of the few Plaza Mayor’s that is still dirt - just as it was for festivals in medieval times. The September 4, 2024 departure will be at the Hotel Mas Albereda. Distance 65 km / 41 mi

  • Day 10 Day 10: Bicycle Vic To Caldes De Montbui
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 10: Bicycle Vic To Caldes De Montbui

      Previous customers have loved our first visit today; a local Fuet (sausage) producer opens its doors to us for a private tour. Our ride continues from one valley to the next as we make our way towards Barcelona. We leave the foothills of the Pyrenees as we pedal down to Caldes de Montbui, an ancient Roman hot springs town. Take some time to enjoy this small town and the ancient baths before taking a dip in the hot pools yourself. Distance 50 km / 31 mi

  • Day 11 Day 11: Bicycle To Barcelona
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 11: Bicycle To Barcelona

      We have a relatively short day today as we pedal south and join up with a river side redevelopment that is now a thriving active multi-use path. Our route takes us straight to the coastline from where we’ll take bike paths and back streets to our hotel at the top of the Ramblas of Barcelona. A dynamic city, Barcelona combines history and modern art, culture and cuisine seamlessly. We’ll have a fabulous final dinner together this evening. The September 4, 2023 departure will stay at the Hotel Barcelona Catedral. Distance 43 km / 27 mi

  • Day 12 Day 12: Barcelona
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 12: Barcelona
