Day 1: Benvinguts to Catalonia!
Join our tour in Barcelona. This city has truly something for everybody. From the winding alleys of the medieval Barrio Gótico to the contemporary architecture of the MACBA; we will start with an orientation walk through the old town. For dinner, why not sample some of the local specialities?
Day 2: Ripoll and Olot
We take the train to Ripoll, “La Cuna” (the cradle) of Catalonia, home to a famous Romanesque monastery. After a stroll through town, we set off by bikes on the Via Verde, a transformed railway line. After crossing a mountain pass, we ride downhill into Olot, the capital of the volcanic area of La Garrotxa. (36km cycling)
Day 3: In between volcanoes
Today’s circular route explores the volcanic Garrotxa Natural Park. We cycle on forest tracks through the Fajeda de n’Jorda, a large beech wood forest, have lunch in the mediaeval town of Sant Pau, and stop at the Croscat volcano, which displays a special geological feature. (26km cycling)
Day 4: To Girona
We head south, following the Via Verde. Apart from one little ascent it is all gentle downhill directly into the heart of Girona. We pass through fertile valleys, surrounded by the dramatic rocks of the Collsacabra Mountains. Later we stroll through the charming town of Girona. (63km cycling)
Day 5: Cycling to Sant Feliu de Guixols
This morning we climb Girona’s ancient city walls and then explore the back streets on foot. After lunch, we head off by bike towards the coast, where the vegetation is increasingly dominated by pine and cork oak trees. A final descent brings us into Sant Feliu de Guixols. (40km cycling)
Day 6: Free day on coast; optional cycle to Tossa del Mar (optional)
Today you can take it easy: just relax on the beach, or visit the old monastery and the historical centre of Sant Feliu, walk the coastal footpath or cycle to Tossa de Mar. This is a very rewarding but challenging ride along the rocky cliffs of the coastal road, with splendid views across the sea. (23km cycling)
Day 7: Transfer to Barcelona; free afternoon
Transfer to Barcelona. Before checking into our hotel, we can visit Antoni Gaudi’s fascinating Park Guell. The afternoon is free. You might want to visit other examples of Gaudi’s work, explore more of the old town, or ascend to the Montjuic to enjoy great views over town? 
Day 8: Adéu Catalonia!
The Tour ends in Barcelona
