Penedès Gravel Discovery

A 360 km gravel circuit from Girona — through the Gironès farmlands, up into the Pyrenees foothills, across the French border through the Vallespir, and back down to the Costa Brava on traffic-free greenways. The route follows the Pirinexus on well-maintained gravel tracks and quiet secondary roads. Five days of riding through terrain that shifts from Mediterranean lowlands to mountain passes and back, with daily stages of 55–85 km and moderate climbing. You pass through villages where Catalan and French blur at the border, ride along the Ter river delta through rice fields, and climb into valleys where the only traffic is livestock. A route built for endurance riders who want the full circle — not a highlight reel, but the whole landscape.

Three days riding a loop from Girona through the Costa Brava coastline and the Empordà interior — 220 km with 3,200 metres of climbing. Day one heads southeast through the La Selva forest towards Tossa de Mar, then follows the dramatic coastal road to Sant Feliu de Guíxols. Day two climbs into the Gavarres massif, drops back to the coast at Palamós, and rides north through Palafrugell and the medieval villages around Pals and La Bisbal de l'Empordà — the heart of the Baix Empordà, where Iberian settlements at Ullastret and stone-walled towns like Rupià and Parlavà sit between rice fields and farmland. Day three pushes back into the Gavarres for the climb to Els Àngels — the sanctuary where Salvador Dalí and Gala married in secret in 1958, with only five witnesses, and one of the finest balcony viewpoints above Girona — before descending home. The route mixes coastal tarmac with forest gravel and unpaved farm tracks, shifting constantly between sea views and interior ridgelines. This is Girona province at its finest: Mediterranean light, Catalan stone, and terrain that never stays flat for long.

Four days circumnavigating Mallorca by bike — 335 km of coastline, mountains, and interior plains, from the dramatic cliffs of the Serra de Tramuntana to the flat farmlands of Es Pla and the turquoise coves of the southeast. The route stays close to the coast, with detours inland where the road is quieter and the cycling is better. Day one climbs the western coast through the Tramuntana, the hardest stage. Day two drops to the northern cape at Formentor and rides east along the quieter shore. Day three crosses the southeastern coves and salt flats. Day four returns through the interior, rolling through almond groves and small towns, back to Palma. The island is compact enough to circle in four days, varied enough that no two stages feel the same. Mallorca's climate makes it rideable almost year-round — and the ferry from Barcelona puts your bike on the island overnight.
