| The other days |
|
-
|
This adventure, exercise, and
culture-filled week will begin in Caldes de Montbui. |
|
-
|
We’ll begin our trip in the
morning toward our destination of the “Aigües
Tortes i Sant Maurici” National Park.
|
|
-
|
Each day, we will ride between 40
and 80 km, depending on the difficulty of that day's
itinerary.
|
|
-
|
We’ll go through the Vallès
Oriental, Bages, and Solsonès areas, which stand
out for their geographic and land diversity: fields
of crops, forest areas, and mountain views.
|
|
-
|
We’ll stop to visit villages
and their various historic attractions: the monastery
of Santa Maria de L'Estany, Cardona and its medieval
fortress, and more.
|
|
-
|
We will try local cuisine in typical
restaurants of the area. Words like: "pà
amb tomàquet", "truita de patates",
"escudella", "carn d'olla" or "paella"

Finally, after a week, we'll make
it to the “Aigües Tortes i Sant Maurici”
National Park. This National Park is not only one of
the most beautiful examples of the richness offered
by the Pyrenees high mountain area, but it also has
a rich architectural patrimony, since it is home to
the Romanic grouping of the Vall de Boí, which
has been declared Patrimony of Humanity.

While some relax after a full week
of cycling and tourism, lovers of open-air sports can
