medieval catalan loop

48,5 km – 475 m
30 miles – 1.550 feet
The tour starts in Sitges, after a short train ride from Barcelona to avoid traffic. You will leave this fisherman village behind and ride along the Foix dam in a very secondary road.
The Foix has played a significant role as a crossroads of civilisations in the times of the Iberian and Romans. Our little roads run through the famous Penedès vineyards, olive trees and bring us to St. Sadurní d’Anoia, the cradle for wine and cava.

54 km – 1.059 m
34 miles – 3.475 feet
In the second day, after an optional visit to Freixenet cava, you will make your way to one of the most emblematic places in Catalonia (Montserrat).
You should keep enough energy for the mythic climb in the last 10km of the route, leading to Montserrat monastery. The natural beauty surrounding the monastery is simply breathtaking.

99 km – 1.220 m
61 miles – 4.000 feet
From Montserrat you will slide down to Manresa in a long fast decent. This time you will not enter into the city but head towards the monastery of Pinós. Reaching about 900m of altitude, you will capture the immense beauty of this region, overlooking a magnificent panorama that goes to Pyrenees and Collsacabra. The silence and peace of this place never stops surprising its visitors.

80 km – 1.230 m
49,50 miles – 4.406 feet
Leaving Cardona trough the lush green mountains you will make your way towards the Pyrenees. The scenery is changing now; you are heading towards the mountains.
After a must stop visit to Berga’s city centre and the old quarter, you will continue along the picturesque Dam of Baells, to arrive to Ripoll.

81 km – 1.123 m
50 miles – 3.683 feet
This is the day when you will experience the Pyrenees in its fullest, and understand the meaning of our saying: “Free your bike to Discover”. Riding through the wiggly hidden roads of the Pyrenees you will discover hidden corners such as Beget and Oix, finally arriving to Olot, the capital of La Garrotxa.

96,50 km – 843 m
54,5 miles – 3.227 feet
Crossing the Natural Volcanic park of la Garrotxa, you will meet the biggest natural lake of Catalonia in Banyoles. The terrain is changing again now, you will move away of the Pyrenees mountains to drop into the flat lands that embrace the city of Girona. With her unique medieval quarter, Girona is the perfect place to celebrate the end of your “MEDIEVAL CATALAN LOOP”
