It’s the kind of scenery that makes you want to stop the bike, take a deep breath and simply take it all in.There are some serious climbs and descents along this stretch, so it’s time to get those climbing legs ready! But with every climb comes another spectacular viewpoint — and the reward of flying back down towards the coast.Our destination for the evening is Palamós, a lively seaside town with a long fishing tradition and a vibrant waterfront. Known for its famous Palamós prawns, it’s the perfect place to finish the day, enjoy some fresh local seafood and soak up the atmosphere of the Mediterranean.Distance: 48km

L’Estartit to Palamós

Our final day begins with a gentle ride along the promenade in Palamós before we follow quiet coastal roads and gradually leave the Mediterranean behind. As the landscape changes once again, we’ll reconnect with the Vies Verdes — the peaceful greenways that have been part of our journey since the very beginning.With mostly traffic-free riding and a relaxed final-day rhythm, today is all about enjoying the journey and taking in the landscapes one last time. The route winds through the beautiful Catalan countryside, offering a chance to slow down, reflect on the experiences of the past week and appreciate just how much ground we’ve covered — both on the bike and beyond it.As we approach Girona, the journey comes full circle. From mountain roads and volcanic landscapes to hidden coves, rugged coastlines, charming villages and unforgettable Mediterranean views, we’ve experienced Catalonia from a truly unique perspective.And then, almost before you’re ready for it, we’ll roll back into Girona — the city where our adventure began.Distance: 47kmGood to know:As the final day includes a fairly long ride back to Girona, we recommend avoiding flights or other onward travel booked for the same day. We expect to arrive in Girona in the early to mid-afternoon, after which we’ll return the bikes to the bike shop and give you time to transfer your belongings from your panniers back into your luggage. Once everything is sorted, you’re free to continue your journey or, if you prefer, stay and enjoy the rest of the afternoon and evening with us in Girona.
