Spain: Barcelona & Costa Brava
Savor a free-spirited ride on Spain’s Costa Brava. In the shadow of the Pyrenees, you’ll set your own pace on this charming inn-to-inn Self-Guided Bicycle Vacation. You’ll make your way along among Catalonia’s coastal ranges and pedal deep into the heart of medieval enclaves. Every day, you can cycle into tiny villages brimming with atmosphere, pausing to explore narrow cobbled lanes and sip coffee in pedestrian squares. You’ll thrill to exhilarating rides with views of scenic coasts framed by sandy beaches and rocky coves and pedal into former fishing ports loved by Hemingway and Dalí. On this trip, you’ll experience a biking paradise favored by professional cyclists for decades.What to Expect
This tour offers a combination of easy terrain and moderate hills and is ideal for beginner and experienced cyclists. Rides are on flat to rolling paved roads and bike lanes. The Mediterranean landscape of the interior has rolling hills. As you ride closer to the coastal towns, the roads will be flatter, but busier. Some historic centers have cobblestone roads. Please verify your bike selection for this tour as it is not always possible to change bikes once you arrive on tour. Travel with your friends and family—we can accommodate multiple guests on this self-guided vacation. Our 24/7 support system is available as needed.
