Cycling through the Baix Empordà

The Baix Empordà region offers a very pleasant environment for cycling, with routes that combine country lanes, natural spaces, and charming villages. The area allows you to enjoy leisurely rides through fields, open landscapes, and small villages where you can stop along the way. It's an ideal activity for those who want to discover the region actively, but without sacrificing tranquility.

From l'Estartit, each route can become a different way to approach the Empordà, connecting nature, heritage and local life on two wheels.

The Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter Natural Park offers cycling routes that allow you to discover the surroundings from a different perspective. Cycling through this area lets you explore Mediterranean landscapes, natural areas, and less-traveled spots, always with the added benefit of traveling in a way that respects the environment.

Before planning your trip, you can consult the official cycling routes of the Parc Natural: https://parcsnaturals.gencat.cat/ca/xarxa-de-parcs/illes-medes/gaudeix-del-parc/equipaments-i-itineraris/itineraris/#itineraris-ciclables.

Before heading out on your bike, it's helpful to consult the official maps of the Natural Park to see the available routes and plan your ride more safely. These resources allow you to choose the most suitable route based on the time available, your fitness level, and the type of ride you want to do during your stay.
