Itinerary

The tour in detail

Your adventure begins in Barcelona, leaving the vibrant city behind as you follow the coastline north. Ride through picturesque seaside towns and pine-lined roads with stunning Mediterranean views. The route offers gentle climbs and rewarding descents as you approach the Costa Brava. Arrive in Tossa de Mar, a charming coastal village known for its medieval walls.

Accommodation Example: Hotel Reymar Superior 4*
 Distance: 60 km  Elevation: 900 m

Today’s ride takes you deeper into the Costa Brava, passing dramatic cliffs and hidden beaches. Enjoy a mix of coastal and inland scenery as you pedal through traditional Catalan villages. The terrain is varied but rewarding, with plenty of scenic stops along the way. End your day in Torroella de Montgrí, nestled at the foot of the Montgrí Massif.

Accommodation Example: Palau Lo Mirador 
 Distance: 55 km | Elevation: 600 m

Leaving the coast temporarily, the ride crosses fertile plains and natural reserves, including areas of wetlands and rice fields that contrast with previous days. The landscape gradually becomes wilder as you approach the Cap de Creus Natural Park, where the terrain turns rocky and exposed. The final approach to Cadaqués is particularly memorable, with panoramic views over the sea and a descent into one of the most picturesque villages in Spain. The town’s artistic heritage and serene atmosphere make it a highlight of the journey.

Accommodation Example: Hotel Blaumar
 Distance: 66 km | Elevation: 650 m

The route turns inland, offering a quieter and more contemplative ride through vineyards, olive groves, and gently rolling hills. This transition reveals a different side of Catalonia, where agricultural traditions and open landscapes dominate. Roads are typically less trafficked, allowing for a more relaxed pace and connection with the surroundings. Arrival in Figueres introduces a cultural highlight, with the opportunity to explore the surreal world of Salvador Dalí and the town’s lively atmosphere.

Accommodation Example: Hotel Mas Bosch 1526
 Distance: 50 km | Elevation: 600 m

The final stage follows smooth, scenic roads through the Empordà region toward Girona. The terrain is more forgiving, making for an enjoyable and reflective end to the tour. Along the way, riders pass through small villages and cultivated fields, experiencing the everyday rhythm of rural Catalonia.

Girona welcomes you with its beautifully preserved medieval center, narrow cobbled streets, and vibrant food scene, providing the perfect setting to conclude the journey.

Accommodation Example: Hotel Històric 4*
 Distance: 60 km | Elevation: 700 m
