Catalonian Flavors of the Mediterranean

We learned about trip site from friends who are avid bikers and really enjoyed this particular tour. We are three friends in our late 40s/early 50s who like to be active but are not avid bicyclists. Due to schedule constraints, we did this trip in early November 2025. If we were to do this trip again, we would likely do it a little earlier in the fall or in the spring. It sounded like the summer could be quite warm and very crowded for biking.
We enjoyed the trip and felt that it was very well organized. We chose to do regular hotels and not spend the money on fancier accommodations, which was perfect for us. The hotels were pretty nice for three star hotels, and the breakfasts were outstanding almost every day. If you are traveling as a single person, you may find your room quite small in comparison to the double rooms and sometimes not as conveniently located in the hotel.
Otherwise, we had a lovely time. Our E bikes were very nice and extremely comfortable the entire time. Hotel staff clearly had experience with trip site in the past as they were always able to make sure our bikes were safe and stored well.
The directions on GPS were almost always accurate, but like some have said sometimes the right turn actually meant a left turn!
Otherwise, the scenery is stunning and we appreciated that most of the drive was not on roads. We also appreciated having suggestions as to what to see during the trip trips. One thing we would likely not do again was visit la Viñyetta. It felt disorganized and also expensive for what was offered to us during our visit.
We did have one day where it rained, and we chose not to bike, staff were prompt to pick us up along with our bikes and drive us without difficulty!
Overall, we would do the trip again, and we would use trip site again for our bicycling adventures!

This was our 4th bike trip through Tripsite. We love our bike trips. This trip did not disappoint though we do have suggestions to make it even better. We loved visiting the small towns, the hotels (premium), the 4 dinners and the winery tour. What We wish we had, we're longer ride options. Most days felt too short and we added our own rides through Komoot, but doing it thru the tour company would have ensured more interesting rides. Many of our trips had this option adding options for shorter or longer rides / harder or easier rides. We felt this trip was easy to moderate at most. The tour operator did send us a hard ride when I sent them a request which we really appreciated.. In all, we felt them to be very responsive and helpful.
We are now looking at where we will go next!

Most memorable part of the trip was the amazing architecture along the way.
Tips for other travelers would be to go the extra mile and see ALL of the sights.

Very fun trip, the parts along the old railway are great because you don’t run into car traffic…there are a fair amount of walkers and joggers so you need to watch for that.
The parts in the small towns are interesting because you are riding in little alleys. When you get on the roads between the towns you need to be careful of cars because many of them will pass you very fast.
In some towns and along the seashore some of the roads/trails have been banned for bikes, so you need to either walk your bike or find you way around on other streets.
What’s nice is different scenery on each day so the ride is never monotonous.

What a wonderful trip!! It was easy to navigate. The route was not very difficult, but active enough to feel like you've earned your sangria at the end of the day :) Lots to do and see along the routes: beaches, museums, ruins, vineyards. Amazing food. Dips in the Mediterranean post cycle. It was everything we wanted. Girona was particularly special. We did give ourselves 3 days to enjoy the city before the trip started and I would recommend that. The food and architecture and history of the old city was a joy to explore. Also, make sure to book tickets for the Dali Theatre and Museum in Figueres at the end of the trip.

An excellent cycling tour (our seventh with Tripsites!), through a very beautiful part of Spain. The route is diverse and takes you through hilly forested areas, wide open rice farms, extensive olive and apple orchards, and vineyards. And then you find yourself dipping down to the Costa Brava, with its breathtaking coastal views. The bike paths are well marked, mostly sand/gravel/packed dirt and well maintained, and generally separated, although there are portions where you are cycling on some of the quieter rural roads. There are some moderate climbs, particularly during the latter stages, but it is generally fairly flat throughout. Lots of historic and cultural sites along the way, including ancient cities (Girona, where the walk along the ramparts was particularly memorable), hilltop citadels (Pals, Figueres), great museums (don’t miss the Theatre-Museum Dali or the Toy Museum in Figueres!). Accommodations were excellent, the food and wine sublime. We added days in both Girona and Figueres, given the many interesting things to do there. We really enjoyed the loop in the middle, and the stay in Castelló d’Empuries (at the Hotel Canet), was definitely a highlight. The local contractor (Cyclotours) was great to work with - they gave us a two hour initial orientation and responded immediately to any questions or issues we had along the way. In hindsight, we would have better timed our cycling to some of the weekly markets along the route (Cyclotours has the list), and should have done a bit more research on some of the towns along the way, as we heard afterwards about some of the interesting places we missed. All in all, though, just a wonderful tour.

The tour route was for the most part easy to follow and had little exposure to traffic. The trip takes you through a lot of the highlights of the area and if you love wild flowers you will be overjoyed. The hotels were quite nice but you may want to upgrade your room in some places so you can get an ocean view instead of the parking lot. Our only complaint was related to the bikes. The ebikes had slicks on them and these heavy bikes would skid a lot on the loose gravel. The regular bikes didn't have front end shocks and some of the trails were filled with broken jagged pavement that jarred the wrists significantly.

I really appreciated the thoughtful routing of the GPS track, it put in great places to experience so much that was wonderful in Catalan country. The mediaeval towns and historic spots, great restaurants and boutique hotels in unique settings. We had fabulous support from Your staff when we experienced misadventure on our first day, due some learning curves with the technology.

Route hotels and food were exceptional. Come prepared knowing how to navigate using technology.

This is my 4th trip with Tripsite.
And I will definitely choose them every time!
This time was a family trip.

This was great for family time . Friendly paths, great views , nice wine and food!

Everything great!

We loved our Catalonia bike trip! Having the routes set up for us without having to give them a thought was invaluable! They took us to a variety of towns each with their own flavor and style. The hotels were wonderful, and the tour operator couldn't have been more of top of picking up and delivering our luggage as expected. We would not hesitate to recommend this vacation to others and already have!

Riding through the cobblestone streets in every town. And taking in all the beautiful authentic homes and buildings.

The hotels were great and the weather good.

The most memorable part of the trip was everything! Each location offered it's own special treat. The rides were diverse, beautiful, adventurous and enjoyable. The hotels exceeded our expectations. Breakfasts were far beyond anything we could expect.

The bikes could use a weight loss program. LOL. They were enjoyable to ride but had a few issues that need addressed. Brakes were an issue and needed cleaned daily to keep them from squeaking. Minor maintenance along the route was performed and minor adjustments for gear changing. Recommend going through them and giving them a lot of TLC.

This is a very beautiful and historic area of Spain. We were enchanted by the scenery and the antiquities. The people are very friendly and helpful. We certainly needed that friendly help several times as the information provided by Cycle Catalonia was not accurate, often mixing left and right, or direction to turn but there were two or more possible turns in that direction.

Beautiful beaches, great rides in the country.
Download maps.me before to help you with directions. Invaluable…

O trajeto é muito bonito. A Costa Brava é maravilhosa. A descrição da rota não foi boa, tive que recorrer ao aplicativo do celular para me localizar algumas vezes.
