Overview
On this Costa Brava bike tour, you cycle along the coast of l’Empordà and inland through one of the most beautiful and varied landscapes in Catalonia. Impressive wild coasts, large sandy beaches, rice fields, great agricultural plains, and wetlands are highlighted.
Different waves of history have brought varied cultures and heritages, with several settlements and ruins from the Iberians, the Greeks, the Romans, and into the medieval ages. The whole region is dotted with hundreds of small villages, with well-conserved medieval castles, churches, or spectacular arched squares.
This charming route starts and ends in the medieval town of Torroella de Montgrí. As you cycle, north along the coast, inland, and back again to the coast, the varied terrain and wonderful cuisine blend to create the perfect cycling holiday.
For those who love bird watching, beyond the beaches, in the natural reserves of the wetland, birds rest on their amazing migration between Europe and Africa. A good variety of ducks, herons, waders, and other wetland birds can usually be spotted.
