Classic Catalan

This independent cycling tour follows a loop around the broad Empordà plain, packed with stunning scenery and a wealth of fascinating historical and cultural discoveries that date back to Greek and Roman times.

Your holiday starts, and ends, at the pretty seafront town of Calella de Palafrugell. From here you head north along the coast - spectacular views across to the Iles Medes - until you reach the lush wine-growing area set beneath its stunning mountain backdrop. Your final stretch takes you on through the Empordà plain - peppered with peaceful medieval villages, historic castles, fortresses, church towers and sun-kissed squares, your only difficulty will be choosing where to stop for lunch!
