Fluvià Riverbanks E-Bike Classic

The Fluvià Riverbanks E-Bike Classic is a full-day cycling adventure that invites you to explore the quiet charm of the Montseny foothills, where the rhythm of the countryside unfolds at a pace that lets you truly soak in the scenery. This moderate ride, perfect for those seeking a balance between challenge and comfort, covers 54 kilometres with a manageable elevation gain of 722 metres. The route blends tarmac and paved greenway, offering wide, traffic-free stretches that cater to all fitness levels—thanks in part to the electric assist that makes every climb feel effortless. The journey begins at Girona Bike Centre on Carrer de la Rutlla, where you’ll be equipped with everything you need for a fully supported day in the saddle.

The ride’s highlights start early, with the gentle ascent to Coll de Malla, where the views open up to rolling hills and distant villages. The path then descends toward Palau-sator, a medieval village with narrow streets and sun-dappled squares, where time seems to slow down. Here, the cobblestones tell stories of centuries past, and the quiet corners invite you to linger. A few kilometres further, the route takes you to La Fàbrica, a rustic café where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the scent of warm pastries—an ideal spot to pause, refuel, and share the day’s experiences with fellow riders.

The second half of the journey unfolds along the Fluvià Riverbanks, where the landscape softens into a tapestry of rippling water, willow trees, and golden fields. The surface here is smooth and shaded, with the river’s gentle murmur providing a soothing soundtrack to your ride. The route’s design ensures a relaxed pace, allowing you to fully appreciate the natural beauty of the area without the pressure of steep climbs or heavy traffic. By the time you return to Girona, you’ll have experienced the best of Catalonia’s countryside: the quiet roads, the historic villages, and the unhurried joy of cycling where the only rush is the wind in your hair.
