Greenways of Girona 1 stage

Transfer from Girona to Olot. This route takes you from the city of Olot to Girona following the valley of the river Brugent through the old train line called “Carrilet”. The lanscape is really lovely. Its natural situation offers an extensive and rich variety of landscapes from lofty mountains and rolling hills to beautiful oak and bech forest, not to mention the outstanding scenery of its volcanic area. Once you arrive at Girona, there is plenty to see and do in this magic historical city. Spend the rest of the day visiting the Cathedral, which has the broadest single nave of Gothic architecture in the world, and getting lost in the narrow streets of the ancient Jewish quarter, one of the best preserved in the world. We also recommend a stroll along the Rambla or the medieval walls, which gives you a fantastic panoramic view of the city and its surroundings.

This bike ride takes you straight to the Mediterranean Sea along a section that follows the greenway “El Carrilet”, passing through the towns of Quart, Cassà de la Selva, Santa Cristina d’Aro and Llagostera. Just out of Girona, the route follows the river Onyar, which gives us one of the most picturesque and most photographed images: the houses of the river Onyar. Along the route we always have the Gavarres massif as a backdrop, a mountainous forest area, consisting mainly of oaks, important for the cork production. We arrive in San Feliu de Guíxols, in front of the Mediterranean Sea. Our transfer takes you back to Girona.
