4 Star Catalonian Flavors of the Mediterranean Tour Reviews — 1 to 5 of 5

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!

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.

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.

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.
