The Costa Brava and Girona, a paradise for cycling enthusiasts

In addition to offering a unique orography for the practice of outdoor sports, a large number of greenways and unique gastronomy recognised worldwide, Girona and the Costa Brava have for many years been the training headquarters of many professional cycling teams.

The best cycling routes on the Costa Brava

At Mas de Torrent we would like to offer you some spectacular cycling routes along the Costa Brava and Girona of all levels of difficulty so that you can find the one that best suits your needs. Below, we propose some routes for MTB or MTB:

Mountain biking routes on the Costa Brava and Girona

On the Costa Brava there are many kilometres of routes along old railway lines that have been converted into greenways in recent years, ideal for mountain biking or gravel biking. These routes are of different levels and you can do the easier ones with the family or you can push yourself to the limit on the more difficult routes, depending on what you want to do.

Arrozales de Pals and Gola del Ter BTT Route

This is an easy route of about 30km and with a positive difference in altitude of 114m. The route starts at Mas de Torrent, where through the streets of the village we move away and start to cross the fields of Torrent and Pals along wide, very cycleable tracks with views of the Mongrí and the old town of Pals, until we reach the mouth of the river Ter.
