Tour of the Pyrenees PYT1603

Day 7, Mollo to Casteldelfels Unfortunately, it is already the last riding day. The weather will be beautiful and we will leave the Pyrenees today and hit the beautiful coastal line north of Barcelona, the famous Costa Brava. We will ride the panoramic road between Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Lloret de Mar, taste a a typicl lunch in Tossa de Mar and then hit the highway to avoid the traffic of the big city! Day 6, Carcassonne to Mollo After a wonderful afternoon in Carcassonne, today we went back to the Pyrenees and back to Spain. Today's ride started under a cloudy sky and some rain, however very soon the sun came out and the temperature was getting quite hot. 300 km of curvy roads and a nice picnic in the Gorges the Galamous made our day! Day 5, Carcassonne Rest Day Today we went for a ride through the hills and valleys north of Carcassonne! Great roads, some more open, some really tiny and hidden, took us to Minerve, one of the most beautiful villages of France, and then back to Carcassone by lunch time, so we also had time to explore this wonderful medieval town! Day 4, Solsona - Carcassonne One day – three different countries – that’s Europe! In the morning we were still in Spain for a last café con leche, then we reached Andorra, the small country that is basically a huge shopping mall in the middle of the Pyrenees. What a traffic there! After that, France welcomed us with the nice village of Ax Les Thermes, and the wonderful tiny and curvy road of the Col de Pailheres. Another break in Quillan and we were ready to reach Carcassonne, but not very early... today a little bit of action was part of the game! Day 3, rest day Solsona What a stunning ride today through the western Pyrenees! Perfect weather, beautiful curvy roads with perfect asphalt, nice towns... what else could we ask? Enjoy the pictures! Day 2, Cartelldefels - Solsona Leaving Castelldefels on nice backcountry roads, we approached this day's highlight, the most famous place in Catalunya, the mountain range and monastery of Montserrat. Sweeping back roads wind up into the bizarre rock formations of Catalonia’s holy mountain, but unfortunately a few tour buses were going the same way! After that, we continued through the Pyrenean foothills, the area around the impressive castle of the dukes of Cardona, where we had lunch, enjoying beautiful views over the salt mines of “Montana de Sal”. Our destination was just a few kilometres from Cardona, but we managed to ride on hidden and beautiful side roads to digest a bit! :) Day 1, Welcome to Castelldefels (Barcelona)! Another great Edelweiss tour is about to begin, we are going to explore the region of the Pyrenees mountain range, the natural border between Spain and France. Two countries (well three, including Andorra), beautuful towns and landscapes, different cultures, tasty food but above all perfect riding! Follow us!
