A chance to cycle along the Girona Greenways in Catalonia. The tour is broken into shorter rides to make an ideal trip for families with children- depending on the children’s ages and fitness, even the smallest ones from 5 years can do this cycle. The accommodation is handpicked for you; staying in quiet and lovely little hotels and farmhouses, some of them with swimming pool. The tour has plenty of different pretty spots to explore with children such as volcanic areas, forests and river marshes.
In Girona city there is plenty to do and see, such as visiting the Cathedral or the ancient Jewish Quarter, one of the best preserved in the world. The last section of the greenway brings you to the coast, reaching the Mediterranean Sea. The ride is easy, downhill, and fun and you’ll be passing through cropland and forests. You can spend the rest of the last day relaxing and enjoying the beach town.
