Bicycle Tour Girona and Medieval Catalonia Tour (7 days)

Come and discover Medieval Catalonia that inspired poets, surprised writers and amazes thousands of tourists every year! A Medieval Catalonia that originates at the end of the 9th century, in the times of Guifré el Pilós, when bridges, churches, castles and abbeys were built everywhere to consolidate a territory that currently includes Girona, Vic, Besalú, Banyoles..

A bicycle tour through this territory is an impressive walk through the history of the Romanesque and Gothic. But it is also an easy route through a landscape of green pastures with beech trees in the areas of gentle mountains around Olot. And also oak groves among small cereal fields near Besalú. And scattered pine forests, enclosed between rows of poplars reaching Banyoles...

And Girona, a city that falls in love. There is a reason why it is the Catalan city that has grown the most in terms of tourism. The Call Jueu (Jewish Quarter), the imposing cathedral (whose Gothic nave is the widest in the world, after the Vatican), the winding Roman walls, the impressive Banys Àrabs or the magnificent alleys of the beautiful old town. Without forgetting the houses in the vicinity of l'Onyar, painted in colours, or the enormous Parc de la Devesa, which with its 40 hectares stands out for its long-lived and tall plane trees.

On this route, the beauty of the surroundings impresses the visitor who discovers a new landscape at every turn. Small towns -with its Romanesque bell tower in the center-, scattered among soft, green mountains... time stands still and only the gentle rolling of the bicycle breaks the silence.

With most breakfasts and dinners included, with a support vehicle that will accompany you during the route, with luggage transport, with maps and tracks... and cozy local accommodations, this experience will be especially remembered in your hearts.

And as an option, you can spend one more day in Girona, to discover, with an expert local guide, the magic of this city. Because we know that you will not be disappointed.
