Best of Catalonia - Point-to-Point (Moderate)

Overview

A cycling holiday that includes cycling the “Carrilet”, the converted railway that runs for 135km from Ripoll in the Pyrenees to Sant Feliu de Guixols on the Mediterranean Sea. The riding starts in the mountain town of Ripoll cycling along the ‘Ruta del Ferro’ to the village of Sant Joan de les Abadesses. Once we have passed through the town we climb for 7km and then over the beautiful mountain pass of the ‘Col de Santigosa’ before descending for 12km into Olot, which is the capital city of the volcanic region of 'La Garrotxa". From Olot to Girona the riding takes place on the converted railway that is known as “The Carrilet”. From Girona the next day of riding includes the challenging ‘Els Angels’ mountain pass towards the timeless Medieval Villages of the Baix Emporda region. The tour then follows the well marked Baix Emporda Cycling Network cycling routes to the final destination of the tour, staying in a 4 star hotel located right on the edge of the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The last day’s ride is an ‘out and back’ classic coastal ride that was part of the 2009 Tour de France stage from Girona to Barcelona.
