With a privileged location, between the mediterranean sea and the Pyrenees, Catalonia offers the perfect setting for a bike tour. Here you'll get to ride by the countryside roads of the Baix Empordà wine country, the winding roads overlooking the cliffs and secluded beaches of the Coasta Brava as well as some epic roads in the natural parks leading to the top of the Pyrenees. Girona pairs a booming cycling culture with medieval heritage in a unique setting, and offers excellent gastronomical choices and local wines, that border the French Roussilon region, with whom it shares the mediterranean climate and benefit from the balming presence of the Pyrenees mountains.
My wife and I found this tour to be amazing, challenging and everything we had hoped for in a Portugal cycling adventure. We found the roads very smooth, extremely light traffic, and breathtaking views. Daily rides were through the Douro estate vineyards and through small,
quaint ,cobble-stoned villages; historic and still inhabited.vOur guide, Daniel was extremely attentive and flexible to our desires and needs always giving us the space and time to enjoy the beautiful countryside at our own pace. (He even allowed us to take a quick side trip into Spain because I really wanted to!)
The accommodations were five star and dinners expertly prepared and presented artistically!
Daniel was wonderful in giving us insights and recommendations daily so we could choose how our free time was spent off the bike… sightseeing touring castles, resting poolside.
Daily rest stops included enjoying espresso in the mornings and wonderful Douro wines to sample at lunch and dinner.
We are ALREADY planning our next
LIVE LOVE RIDE adventure… can’t wait !!
