Overview

Catalunya is a spectacular study in contrasts, from the soaring peaks of the Pyrenees to the sparkling blue water of the Mediterranean’s shallow coves. Explore all of this and more as you pedal past centuries-old alpine villages clinging to the mountains, challenge yourself to climb to the top of Catalunya's highest road, travel back in time to Spain's best preserved medieval towns, wind through the welcoming Alt Empordà wine region, and enjoy wonderfully scenic stretches of rolling Costa Brava coastline. You will quickly realize why this region is beloved by so many, from the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí to the elite riders training for the professional UCI World Tour circuit.
