Why imagine yourself biking in delightful Mediterranean breezes, past turquoise seas, and through the glow of Spain’s famous Pyrenées-framed countryside when you can actually do it! Set out from the ancient Roman tower in medieval Pals for deserted beaches whose waters offer cooling respites, then enter the pine forests of Begur, where you’ll discover an 11th-century castle and superb coastal views. At Torroella de Montgri, explore age-old Roman defenses, then wander the feudal hamlet of Fonolleres and the carved stone alleyways of historic Peratallada.

In La Bisbal, you’ll find markets famous for antiques and pottery, and an 8th-century castle you’ll call home. Pedal to the walled village of Ullastret, the site of one of Spain’s original Iberian settlements, and stop for a tasty lunch in Sant Feliu de Boada. Take your time, because there’s lots to see—the thousand-year-old cathedral at Castello d’Empuries, the 12th-century church in sun-dappled Fonteta, the Moorish tower houses of Ermedas, and much more. From tapas in lively towns to the views from the lighthouse at Llafranc, it’s the cycling dream of a lifetime.
