We would recommend spending time in Girona even at the loss of a days cycling.
Ending the day around Joanetes at Restaurant Cal Esteve was a delight!
The natural pool in the Gorg del Murris was magical!
Ex railway trackbed and route with original stations still intact was a delight. Hotels enroute were refreshigly different in style and meals. Catalonia scenery wonderfully varied.
A most enjoyable trip in very pretty countryside with many interesting villages contrasting well with the historic town of Girona and then a further contrast of a night at the Med.
The accommodations were equally good and contrasting .El Ferres felt very Catalan and the food quite rustic.Can Garay very stylishly Art Deco with a lovely garden .Hotel Historic was a very old building right in the heart of Girona and beautifully renovated.Hotel S’Agaro a typical beach hotel situated on the seafront in a lovely quiet bay.
The cycling was in the main easy especially on the Via Verde - much of this was quiet and v scenic except on the last day as we approached the coast which was a bit more built up .We particularly enjoyed cycling around Joanetes on day one and two and explored an area to the North as far as Riudaura which was a lovely small town
The food was v good everywhere In particular we had great meals at Ca La Matilda in Sant Feliu de Pallerols.and Restaurant Barca at Bescano.We ate at the Hotel s’Agaro the last night and it was excellent and well priced.

Well chosen accommodation in a beautiful area. The cycling routes were most enjoyable particularly being mostly traffic free. Would thoroughly recommend extra night(s) in S'Agaro where there is some lovely coastal walking.
A great introduction to Cycling Holidays Inntravel style. Easy riding, wonderful traffic free Via Verde cycle route, interesting landscape, lovely hotels, great food with plenty of choice at non-dinner Hotels. A great example of Life Lived Slowly.
Superb varied cycling from mountains to the sea. Superb restaurant near Mas Ferrés for lunch on arrival - Restaurant Fonda Barris at Joanetes. Only 10 minutes-walk.
The cycling on this holiday was a delight taking place mostly on a wonderful traffic free, smooth, gently inclining old railway track, via verdi. We didn’t really need electric bikes although the extra speed meant we had more time (and energy) to explore. The Catalonian countryside was green and varied and the people friendly and helpful. There was plenty of evidence of their fierce independence. The Mediterranean at the end gave a final luxury.
A thoroughly enjoyable trip, very easy even for inexperienced cyclists, with typically varied accommodation. Inntravel's efficiency again very much in evidence.
Maps/Directions - the directions for the most part were excellent. However the ones for Hotel Historic were confusing and unclear. We got thoroughly lost along with other cycling people.
Accommodation - all the hotels were good but the one that stands out is the one in Can Garay, the room was spacious and bed comfortable. The hosts were very hospitable and gracious. Having a pool in Joannetes was great after all the cycling we did.
Food at the hotels - Joannetes Farm- food was terrible. Can Garay - excellent food breakfast and dinner, restaurant type quality. cannot say enough about this. Hotel Historic - breakfast very good.
S'Agaro - breakfast good.
This was a really successful cycling holiday for us. The travel and accommodation worked perfectly, but it was the route that was the real highlight: everything from volcanoes in picturesque Garrotxa to trendy vermouth bars in Girona. A wonderful break. I would thoroughly recommend it.
First time with Inntravel and very impressed, looking at further trips with them.
Great experience, scenery was amazing, especially in the first half of the week. Lovely part of the world, really off the beaten track. Very friendly people throughout.
Trip notes on the whole were good, the riding on the roads was minimal and very quiet, and the vias verdes were in good condition.
Accommodation was varied and comfortable, all with their own unique style. Bikes (including an ebike) were all very suitable to the task. Some hills in the first few days had to be walked (not the bike's fault!!), however this did not deter from our enjoyment.
Would thoroughly recommend.
The last two restaurants we visited (SanBo in Girona, and La Taverna Del Mar in S'Agaro) were both excellent, and well worth a recommendation to future travellers
Some of the circular rides were quite challenging for Grade 1 due to the number of hills. Preferred the scenery in the first half of the week to the second. Hotel Historic was a brilliant hotel and such a good location. Worth taking a change of clothing with you on the bike as the cases aren’t always delivered by the time you arrive at the hotel.
A great experience for the 6 of us. Really the best way to explore the Catalonia countryside. All accommodation was generous and friendly. Plenty of waterholes along the way which were necessary in the hot conditions experienced this week. I recommend this trip to anyone!
Use the GPX app as a backup when you get lost. Avoid festival times as many towns are completely shut down.
Lovely scenery, via verde is very good, lots of good places to eat and drink on route. We did not cycle 2nd day in girona as we would have been too tired and not have had enough time to explore the city.
