Traveling the Girona area of Spain by bicycle is remarkable for its archeological importance as this route visits the famous ruins of Empuries and the ancient Iberian settlement of Ullastret. Other important towns such as La Bisbal d'Emporda with its castle and ceramic tradition are wonderful visits. Figueres, the capital of Alt Emporda has the Dali museum and in Banyoles there is the lake which is the biggest in the region. The Natural Park of the Marshes is an important and protected ornithological site. Arrive in Girona and transfer to your farmhouse to start your cycling tour vacation!

  • Reviewer: Andy C.
    'The trip was great! I lived in France for 5 years and took many great trips around Europe, but this may well have been the most memorable!'
  • Reviewer: B. Van Hook
    The trip exceeded my expectations in just about every way. It was awesome and challenging to be alone on a bike in a foreign country. I would recommend it to anyone with a sense of adventure who is in good health.
  • Reviewer: Heidi Ray located in CO USA
    Costa Brava Explorer - This is a WONDERFUL tour.  Bo was amazing and helpful, as were his directions and additional information in the hand-outs of things to see and recommended stops and restaurants.  I will recommend Pure Adventures to my bicyclist friends, and will certainly return to you for our next European bicycle adventure!
