CATALONIA BIKE TOUR

We welcome you at Barcelona airport at 2 pm and drive you at your ideally located hotel in the historical center of the charming Girona. After a bike fitting and a tour oriention, we will enjoy the beauty of Northern Catalonia’s largest city. Girona is a jewellery box of museums, galleries and Gothic churches, strung around a web of cobbled lanes and medieval walls.

Riding doesn’t get much better than this: peaceful, rolling roads with hardly any traffic, pretty woodland, medieval villages, and ancient churches. At the end there are two lovely villages: Pubol, where stands a Palace-Castle offered by Dali to his wife Gala, and Madremanya, a medieval village secreltly preserved between Girona and the Mediterranean.

Els Àngels is a classic climb that’s part of a popular cycling loop from Girona. The route was made famous by Lance Armstrong. We climb Els Angels and then roll down to the coast through pretty Catalan villages. In Sant Marti d’Empuries we can relax on the beach and admire the view over the Rosas’ bay. Cadaques stands in a delightful site, to the south of the Cap de Creus. Its picturesque streets and bohemian atmosphere, which made it a popular haunt for artists and intellectuals in the first half of the 20C, the most famous of whom was undoubtedly Salvador Dalí, continue to appeal today.

This morning we head first to Castello d’Empuries. The site, remarkable, is dominated in the distance by the old monastery of San Pere de Rodes that we will climb. The panorama is magnificent. At the bottom of the hill lies the discreet village of Port de la Selva. On the way back, we take the direction of Cap de Creus by a desolate road of 8 km long that leaves Cadaques and crosses lunar landscapes. Cap de Creus is the easternmost point of the Spanish mainland, a place of sublime and wild beauty. With its rocky, steep coast, cut by coves with turquoise waters, it is a particularly magical place.

We leave the Spanish Catalonia for the French Catalonia by following rocky coves, small fishing ports and terraced vineyards on the hillside. It is grandiose! We reach Collioure where we will spend the next two nights. A fortified church, standing so close to the coast that it looks like it has risen from the sea, old streets with flowered balconies, a seaside promenade, terraces of cafés and stores with colorful windows, this is the enchanting setting of Collioure!
