This tour includes Mountain Biking the exciting and challenging trails of the Baix Emporda Mountain Bike network.  This network has literally hundreds of kilometres of trails that range from stunning forest trails through to blistering single track which, at times, requires high levels of technical skill to ride. The highest peaks in the riding area are approximately 500m and are situated in very hilly terrain, making this perfect mountain biking territory. The more challenging rides accumulate up to and over 1000m of ascents.

 Some of the highlights of the routes:

bullet

The 1000 year old hamlet of Romanya de la Selva.

bullet

The remains of the castle used as a lookout post during the Civil War.

bullet

The stunning lookout of ‘Pedralta’ – the balancing rock with views to the Pyrenees and the coast.
