Accommodation in La Pera (agriturismo) or Corça (hotel)

Start today's cycling tour through the traditional and picturesque landscape of Baix Empordà. Cycle through fruit orchards, small villages and Mediterranean forest. The medieval town centers of Monells and Madremanya are worth a visit, as is the castle museum in Pubol. If the route feels too tough for a first day, it's possible to shorten it.

Start the day with a short climb through forest. After that, the road is almost completely flat through Tuscan-like villages situated on natural hills. You cycle through a traditional agricultural countryside where cypresses were introduced as windbreaks and to protect against soil erosion. Once in Peratallada, you can take a walk in the village and choose from one of their 13 restaurants.

Accommodation in Peratallada

A peaceful cycling day takes you through green rice fields and the Ter river delta with its windmills. Along the way you pass beautiful sandy beaches and the wetlands Les Basses d´en Coll. Stop in the medieval villages of Fontclara and Gualta.

Cycle out to Costa Brava, along quiet country roads through Pals to Palafrugell, then continue to Llafranch before arriving at Calella de Palafrugell, one of the most beautiful fishing villages along Costa Brava. Feel free to stop for lunch at a beach restaurant or visit the botanical garden at Cap Roig before cycling back. There's an opportunity to extend today's cycling further south through the Aubi valley, an area that has preserved its traditional, rural character. Some of the farms still have towers where villagers hid during pirate attacks in the 15th and 16th centuries.

The cycling ends in Sant Pere Pescador, just a few kilometers from the sea.
