This unique trip will take you from the Spanish Pyrenees all the way to the absolute highlight of this trip: riding in the national park of Cap the Creus. Where most mountain bike holidays stay in one area, we provide a complete different experience with this itinerary. This truly unique and enchanting environment will create memories which last a lifetime.
It can be customized according to your needs.
We will start in the Berguedà region for a few days riding in the middle Pyrenees. Astonishing views of snow capped mountains and various trails are awaiting us. Our shuttle will take us to the starting points. For the last day we will drive to our start at the coast: the middle of the national park of Cap de Creus. We finish the trip with a beautiful & unique coastal ride in the national park of Cap de Creus, where we spend the full day exploring this hidden gem.
Thijs and his local guide Felix had excellent knowledge of the local terrain in both the mountains of Catalunya and along Cap de Creus and led us to the best local trails. A very professional and genuinely helpful guide, who is also an excellent biker and a good guy who is fun to spend time with. We will definitely work with mtbAdventures again in the future!
