Explore Catalonia in northeastern Spain by bike, with its historic cities, fishing villages and lovely scenery. Pedal peaceful greenway trails and along the gorgeous Costa Brava, as you experience language, culture, and the Dali-Theatre Museum in Salvador Dali's hometown of Figueres. Catalonia's Costa Brava is one of Spain's most beautiful cycling regions, where quiet greenways, coastal paths and gently rolling back roads connect fishing villages, vineyards, medieval towns and sparkling Mediterranean views. Your 6-day bike tour begins in historic Girona, an easy train ride from Barcelona and a wonderful place to explore before the tour starts. From there, you ride toward the coast, pedaling past sandy beaches, rocky coves, seaside towns and vineyard-draped hills. Along the way, you'll experience Catalonia 's distinctive blend of language, culture and gastronomy. Pause for fresh seafood by the water, sip local wines, and wander cobbled streets in centuries-old villages. Your tour ends in Figueres, birthplace of Salvador Dalí, where a visit to the extraordinary Theatre-Museu Gala Salvador Dalí offers a memorable final chapter. Scenic riding, coastal beauty, Catalan flavor, and full support, all at the perfect pace of a bike. Day 1: Your Costa Brava cycling adventure begins in Girona, where a comfortable bike path leads you out of the city and onto the Via Verde "El Carrilet" greenway. This peaceful route carries you through the small towns of Cassa de la Selva, Llagostera and Santa Cristina d'Aro, each offering a lovely chance to pause, stretch your legs and ease into the ride. As you pedal toward the Mediterranean, the landscape opens to beautiful views of the Costa Brava. Your ride ends in the coastal town of Sant Feliu de Guixols, where you can spend the afternoon your way -- take a dip in the sea, stroll along the beach or visit the Monastery of Sant Feliu de Guixols before gathering for dinner together tonight. Day 2: Today's ride takes you along one of the most scenic stretches of the Costa Brava, following part of a panoramic stage from La Vuelta a España, Spain's famous "Grand Tour." Take your time and enjoy the sea views, winding roads and the satisfying feeling of riding through a landscape beloved by cyclists. Your destination is Tossa de Mar, a beautiful medieval village set on a promontory above the sea. Its old fortified quarter, Vila Vella, is surrounded by 12th-century walls, complete with cylindrical towers and turrets that still watch over the coastline. Wander the cobblestone streets, explore quiet alleys and ancient stone passageways, and let yourself feel transported back in time before returning to Sant Feliu de Guixols. Day 3: The fresh scent of the sea stays with you during the first part of today's ride as you follow a coastline dotted with lovely little coves and sparkling Mediterranean views. With pleasant temperatures for much of the year, you'll be able to slow down and savor the moment. Later, you turn inland, pedaling over rolling hills and through medieval towns where daily life carries on around stone streets, quiet squares and local markets. There's time to stop along the way, sample regional products and get a closer feel for Catalonia's rich local character. Your hotel tonight is just outside Torroella de Montgri, a pleasant town watched over by the striking Montgri Castle. This unfinished 13th-century fortress rises from the hill above town and creates one of the area's most memorable views. Dinner is together at the hotel this evening. Day 4: Today you ride north toward Roses, a lively coastal town with deep roots. Once home to a Greek colony and later a Roman settlement, Roses still carries traces of its ancient past alongside its beaches, harbor and inviting seaside atmosphere. In the afternoon, a chartered boat carries you along the coast to Cadaques, one of the Costa Brava's most beloved villages and your home for the next two nights. Day 5: This morning's loop ride takes you to Cap de Creus National Park, one of the most dramatic and beautiful landscapes on the Costa Brava. Here, the mountains meet the sea in a wild, windswept setting of rocky headlands, blue water and sweeping views. After the ride, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy Cadaques. Relax on the beach, linger over lunch, or wander the steep cobbled streets lined with whitewashed houses. This former fishing village has long inspired artists, including Salvador Dali, Luis Buñuel, Pablo Picasso, Federico Garcia Lorca and Marcel Duchamp, and you can still feel that creative spirit in its quiet lanes and bright seaside light. Tonight, gather for dinner together and toast your final evening on the Costa Brava. Day 6: After breakfast, you transfer to Figueres, the birthplace of surrealist artist Salvador Dali. Together, you visit the Dali Theatre-Museum, a fascinating and wonderfully unusual tribute to an artist whose imagination stretched across painting, sculpture, design, drawing, film, fashion and more. Your Costa Brava cycling vacation ends after the museum visit. One group transfer is provided to the train station at approximately 1:30 p.m. You may choose to spend a little more time exploring Figueres before heading home, or continue your adventure with an extra day or two in Barcelona. 5 nights' accommodation 5 breakfasts, 1 lunch, 3 dinners You're supported from start to finish by our highly experienced guides and leaders Industry leading Guest-to-Guide ratio (averaging 6:1) All activities outlined in the itinerary Delicious snacks and non-alcoholic drinks to keep you fueled All necessary equipment (well-maintained and safe) for activities Branded t-shirt and bag Gravel bikes with drop handlebars, Hybrid with flat-bar handlebars, or E-Bikes - equipped with a front handlebar bag or rear carrier, branded water bottle, mirror, and flat pedals Ride with GPS for navigation along with the detailed maps and itineraries Transportation in our air-conditioned vans - safe, clean, modern, and comfortable!
