Catalonian Flavors of the Mediterranean

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 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.
