Welcome to Girona! Explore this charming city, rich in history and culture, renowned for its beautifully preserved Jewish Quarter, impressive Cathedral, and scenic medieval walls offering breathtaking panoramic views. The tour begins with a welcome meeting, followed by a bike fitting if renting bikes, to go over routes and key details. The routes explore the peaceful inland countryside, ancient farmhouses, the Ter River, rolling roads through beautiful rural scenery, and the ancient volcano of La Crosa. Stage 2 utilizes the Vies Verdes (Greenways), former railway lines transformed into dedicated bike paths, passing through cornfields and traditional farmhouses. Stage 3 includes a route along the coast to traditional fishing villages, climbing to Cap Roig with stunning botanical gardens, descending into Calella de Palafrugell, and then heading inland through charming medieval villages like Pals and Gualta. The 'hard version' of Stage 3 offers more climbing, including a route up Puig Cargol in the Les Gavarres range with a long gravel descent. Stage 4 is mostly flat with one climb through the Parc Natural del Montgrí, offering sweeping views of the Mediterranean from Punta del Milà. Stage 5 includes a visit to Empuriabrava, known for its extensive network of navigable canals, and Roses with its long sandy beaches and the Citadel of Roses. The longer, more adventurous option for Stage 5 takes you into the Cap de Creus Natural Park, climbing the gravel road up Puig Alt, and riding through a scenic plain dotted with vineyards and olive groves. The easier version of Stage 5 offers a shortcut from Roses to Figueres, bypassing the climb to Puig Galt. Stage 6 offers two options: a challenging climb to the Sanctuary of Els Àngels or a more relaxed, flat route following the River Ter back to Girona. The easier version of Stage 6 allows you to follow the river for a more relaxed ride all the way to Girona, bypassing the final climb. Options for transfers or assistance upon arrival, and arrangements for extra nights in Girona.
