SECRET CATALONIA BIKE TOUR

We welcome you in France at Perpignan TGV Train Station at 2 pm and drive you in Spanish Catalonia at your ideally located hotel of the charming Cadaques. After a bike fitting and a tour oriention, we will enjoy Cadaques which 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.

Meals: Dinner

Accomodation: Hotel Playa Sol 4* – Cadaques

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!
