Catalonia MTB Tour #Cataloniamtbtour / Catalunya MTB Tour

In 11 Stages 


Catalunya MTB Tour / Catalonia MTB Tour

I wanted to make some MTB trip near home and decide to do one route that I found at the web www.rutabike.com named Transcatalunya (I call it #Voltaacatalunya)




The route follows parts of the Camino de Santiago and covers the four provinces, and some of the most representative and charming landscapes (Tarragona, Prades, Solsona, Ripoll, Olot, Girona, Barcelona and Vilanova i la Geltrú). I re-design the second stage of Prades - Lleida and I ended up doing Prades - Ponts through Ivars i Vila-sana Pond.





You can eat at Albiol (Restaurant Albiol, 977098013)
You can sleep in Prades for 30 € (La Botiga habitacions, Pl. Major 14. 977868321). Other accommodation options



You can eat in many parts of the route (Borges Blanques, Puiggros, Castellserà or Agramunt)
You can sleep in Ponts for about 20 € (Pensio Ponts Passatge de Pinyola, s/n, 973460116, www.hostaljardi.com). Other accommodation options



If you want to eat along the way you have to carry the food, no services during the stage.

You can eat in coll de Puigcercós (El Cobert de Puigcercós, 938239048)
You can sleep for about 29 € in Ripoll (Ca la  Paula C. Pirineus, 6. 972700011). Other accommodation options
