In a few words

In the heart of the Empordà region , between the Mediterranean Sea and the Catalan hinterland , this cycling holiday invites you to explore an authentic territory at the pace of the locals. Accompanied by a local cycling guide , you'll follow flat and accessible routes by trekking, gravel, or electric bike , for a gentle and refreshing immersion.

From the rice paddies of Pals , you'll discover traditional rice cultivation, a historic mill, and sample a surprising local rice beer . The route continues to the inland vineyards , where a breathtaking sunset enhances the landscapes before meeting farmers committed to regenerative agriculture . A fresh cheese-making workshop, followed by lunch at the farm, extends this rural immersion.

The journey concludes amidst medieval villages and ancient olive groves , exploring the millennia-old culture of the olive. A tasting of extra virgin olive oils and a traditional breakfast featuring seasonal produce awaken the senses.
