Day 1: Arrival in Torroella de Montgri
Your tour begins in Torroella de Montgri where you will be accommodated in a bike-friendly hotel that enjoys an internationally renown reputation for catering to cyclists as evidenced by an amenity list that includes bike shed, bike workshop, and bike mechanic.

Day 2: Torroella de Montgri - Sant Feliu - Moli del Mig (110 km or 70 miles)
This optional ride with a moderate rating pedals south along Catalonia's famed Costa Brava. Jagged coves lined with white horseshoe beaches dot the entire route with the kind of setting that prompts riders to suddenly add "real estate office visit" to the day's agenda. Before looping back through the forested Gavarres Mountains, you'll spend time in Sant Feliu de Guixols, a seaside town brimming with Old World allure.

Day 3: Torroella de Montrgri - Figueres (70 km or 44 miles)
Acclimation day. To ease the leg muscles into tour-mode today's ride works-out the eyes rather than the thighs. A relatively flat route wanders past stretching olive groves and well-tended vineyards, the type of pastoral setting that nuzzles the mind like a visual massage. The ride concludes surreally-literally and figuratively-in Figueres, the hometown of painter Salvador Dali. Teatro-Museo Dali, the second most visited museum in Spain, stands as a five-floor monument to Dali's work, lending it 10 stars on the must-see scale.

Day 4: Figueres - Cadaques - Collioure - Figueres (120 km or 75 miles)
Today's route ascends into Cap de Creus, Spain's only nature reserve. A craggy coastline, that legend attributes to the mythical workings of Hercules, harmonizes with the sun-chandeliered Mediterranean to create a geographical masterpiece. In between prolonged awe-breaks you will pedal into Coilloure, France and Cadaques, Spain-two idyllic fishing villages whose beauty prompted some of history's greatest artists-Matisse, Picasso, Dali, Duchamps-to become full-time residents. The day's ride finishes back in Figueres.

Day 5: Figueres - Coustouges - Camprodon (100 km or 60 miles)
Good-bye sea, hello mountains. Today's pedal winds upward into the famed Pyrenees, testing the legs but rewarding the eyes. The route briefly bends into France at Coustouges, a tiny alpine village ornamented with remarkable displays of Romanesque art and architecture. You will then descend back into Spain to the ski town of Camprodon, birthplace of concert pianist, Isaac Albeniz. The tiny shops and restaurants that front Camprodon's narrow streets, will provide plenty of reasons to walk off today's ride.

Day 6: Camprodon - Girona (100 km or 62 miles)
Today's easy, downhill ride will take you from the natural wonders of the Pyrenees to the manmade wonders of Besalu. This ancient, walled town along the Fluvia River looks like the inspiration for every Medieval movie ever made. The Pont Fortificat, Besalu's 11th century landmark bridge, serves as a stunning entrance gate, worthy of at least eleven snapshots. Romanesque churches, like the Monestir de Sant Pere and Església de Sant Vicenc, decorate Besalu's interior and add to its incomparable time warp ambience. The short length of today's ride will allow for plenty of time to explore.

Day 7:Les Gavarres Loop: Girona - Els Angels - Girona (60 km or 37 miles)
After the group has departed, your first experience in this stunning region of Spain will be en route to Els Angels, when you pass by the lovely medieval villages of Rupià and Madremanya. Using tested training routes ridden by pro-teams (the pro-team Garmin-Slipstream is based in Gerona) for training, you’ll cross the Gavarres Mountains, first climbing Els Angels (484m) and then returning via Puig d´en Carreres (403m). Near the end of your moderate ride, you’ll pass through La Bisbal d’Emporda, the principal town of the region.
