Ullastret Electric Explorer

The Ullastret Electric Explorer invites you on an effortless journey through Catalonia’s sun-kissed Costa Brava coastline, where gentle hills roll toward the Mediterranean under endless blue skies. This self-guided e-bike adventure unfolds over 84 kilometers of smooth tarmac and paved greenway, with just 469 meters of elevation gain—a perfect balance for riders seeking a moderate challenge without punishing climbs. The electric assistance transforms every ascent into a breeze, particularly the iconic Rocacorba antenna road, where panoramic views stretch across vineyards and distant sea. This route is ideal for those who want to explore at their own pace, taking in the region’s rugged beauty without rushing.

Your ride begins near Girona’s elegant Pont de Pedra, crossing into a landscape that shifts from urban charm to coastal wildness. The Medes Islands Viewpoint offers one of the tour’s standout moments—stop here for photographs that capture the turquoise waters and rocky islets against a backdrop of sapphire sea. The route meanders through Ullastret, where ancient Iberian ruins hint at the area’s deep history, before arriving at Sweet Sixteen café in Sant Pere Pescador. Here, you’ll savor a well-earned coffee and pastry, enjoying the salty breeze carrying whispers of the nearby beach. The mix of tarmac and greenway ensures comfort under your tires, whether gliding past almond orchards or skirting sleepy fishing villages.

What makes this tour special is its ability to blend adventure with relaxation—ideal for riders who appreciate scenic variety without steep demands. The e-bike’s assistance turns rolling hills into effortless cruising, letting you focus on the surroundings: the scent of wild herbs crushed under tires, the call of seabirds overhead, or the golden light bathing medieval watchtowers. Whether you’re a casual cyclist or an experienced rider looking for a change of pace, the Ullastret Electric Explorer delivers a full day (3.5–4 hours in the saddle) of coastal charm and Mediterranean magic.
