Journey self-guided along disused railways while your luggage is transported, stay in wonderfully varied accommodation, visit historic Girona and indulge in the excellent regional cuisine, before finishing your trip in style at a 4-star hotel near the sparkling Mediterranean. This gentle cycling holiday explores a culturally rich yet remote-feeling corner of Catalonia which is blessed by a truly Mediterranean climate. The route is mainly along traffic-free vías verdes (dedicated cycle paths) and includes a lovely ride between allotments and market gardens that takes you into the very centre of Girona. The final day's ride is back on the vía verde, cruising through corn fields before the sparkling Mediterranean sea suddenly appears. The holiday offers a 7-night duration with 4 dinners and 7 breakfasts included. Luggage is transported, and a high-quality bicycle is provided, along with route notes and GPS navigation. The cycling is graded as 'Easy', described as easy cycling for all with shorter days mainly on the flat, but some gentle ascents. The terrain involves vias verdes (cycle paths) and country roads.
