The Medieval villages cycling tour is a perfect way to explore the quieter and less travelled areas of this fascinating region of Catalonia.

The tour starts in Girona city and winds its way gently through the undulating and ever changing scenery of the Baix and Alt Emporda. All of the cycling takes place on quiet country roads that are part of the Emporda Cycle Network. The network has been developed to allow cyclists to fully enjoy the splendours of this area.

The tour follows the network for the next six nights and finishes in Figueres, the home of Salvador Dali’s museum. Your luggage will be transported for you from hotel to hotel so you can relax and enjoy the cycling to its fullest.

Each day’s ride is approximately 40 km and is mostly flat with rolling hills, so you can pace yourself to stop and enjoy the views. You will be provided with detailed maps and route plans to help you on your way, or perhaps you prefer the assistance of a professional guide to ride with you on a guided tour who will point out places of interest along the way.
