Catalonia
Culture by the sea
Bordered by France and the Mediterranean, Catalonia boasts unique traditions and a rich history that makes the region a rewarding destination. Music, architecture, literature, delicious cuisine, amazing wines, and bubbly champagnes – all influenced by the area’s rich history – make Catalonia an enlivened locale and fan-favorite.
Catalonia offers an extensive network of well-marked cycling paths with routes often on dedicated paths, converted railways, rural paths, or side roads with minimal traffic. Cyclists love Catalonia, in part, for its diverse landscape. Travelers can choose tours along the coast, across the inland farmland and countryside, or in the steep Pyrenees Mountains, with varied terrains perfect for a variety of cycling skill levels.
