Day 25 Biking 52K to the Costa Brava

What a great day. We picked up our bikes about 10am and headed off to Sant Felix de Guixois. The guys at Cycle Tours said it was super easy to find the route out of town - take the path under the train tracks then turn left. 🤨

Not so simple - after lots of dipsy doodling about for about 30 minutes we finally found it. Lessons learned - as always. . . . . I’d downloaded the route on Ride with GPS, but didn’t know if I turned the volume up the “sweet” lady would actually talk to me. Once we found the route, I figured this out so we were good to go.

The route itself was great - through 3 or 4 towns, where we amazingly didn’t get lost - then through various terrains from lush trees to barren fields. The guys in the bike shop said it was mostly downhill. Not true . . . . the last bit was down hill, but the rest was not and the wind was pretty strong.

We were delighted when we finally sighted water. By this time it was about 3:00pm and we were worried they wouldn’t be serving food. Fortunately they were, plus we really needed some nice cold beers. Estrella seems to be the only beer on tap in most places, but that suits me fine - light and cold. We, of course, ordered seafood - calamares and grilled clams - delish

The scene there was amazing - as the pics show - so I won’t say much more. Fortunately we’d arranged to be picked up there, rather than bike back - good decision. Being late now, we headed to our fav restaurant in « our » courtyard and have a lovely meal accompanied by their specialty wines.

Being a warm beautiful night I headed out to get some night pics. Girona is amazing in the evening. Have only posted a couple of pics here, will add more tomorrow.Baca lagi
