Discover the best hotels on the Costa Brava practicing cycle tourism
Habéis visto la Costa Brava en primera persona, desde el coche, caminando, desde un barco, tal vez incluso a vista de pájaro desde un globo... ¿Y si ahora os dejáis seducir por la seguridad y la calma que ofrece un paseo en bicicleta?
Desde su sillín la vida se ve diferente: todo coge una velocidad adecuada y pasaréis a formar parte de un paisaje en movimiento. Cada uno a su ritmo, ¡no es ninguna carrera! Se trata de disfrutar del trayecto y especialmente del destino. Y para ofreceros todo lo necesario cuando bajéis de la bici tenéis los establecimientos de Grans Hotels de Catalunya. Alojamientos con encantos de todo tipo y para todo tipo de públicos, que serán oasis final de vuestras aventuras sobre la bici, y también el inicio de una nueva etapa que os puede llevar, por qué no, a descubrir recorridos que no teníais ni idea de que existieran.
No importa si sois más del estilo Mountain bike o preferís ciclismo de carretera. La red de vías verdes, caminos ciclables y carreteras secundarias es tan extensa que en un mismo viaje podréis descubrir pequeñas calas de la Costa Brava y conocer pueblos medievales y zonas de interior. Vosotros ponéis la curiosidad y las piernas. Frente a vosotros tenéis kilómetros de motivos para explorar unos parajes únicos, de mar y de montaña, que siempre tratan con complicidad a quien se acerca encima de una bicicleta.

Pedaleando por la Ardenya y las Gavarres
Subamos ahora a la bicicleta de carretera. A quienes os gusta más rodar sobre asfalto os esperan serpenteantes propuestas que os harán disfrutar de un entorno natural envidiable. La Ardenya y las Gavarres son dos macizos dominados por la cultura del corcho. Extensas alcornocales conviven con el pino y el granito en estas montañas de cotas modestas que separan el interior de la costa. Las carreteras que las atraviesan esconden puertos de dificultad moderada, protegidos del sol por la espesa cubierta forestal. Los primeros kilómetros discurren junto al mar por una de las vías costeras más impactantes de la Costa Brava, la carretera de Tossa de Mar, que enseguida os pondrá delante de los primeros puertos. El de Sant Grau supera la Ardenya, con pendientes constantes que se acentúan en los últimos kilómetros hasta alcanzar el 10% y puntualmente el 14%. La travesía de las Gavarres hacia el mar aprovecha el puerto de Santa Pellaia, más regular y suave, entre el 3 y el 7%, y alcanzando en ocasiones el 10%, y sigue de nuevo hacia el interior, por el collado de Romanyà de la Selva, con pendientes medias que no superan el 3%. Iremos acumulando kilómetros en las piernas y satisfacción en todo el cuerpo y la mente.
Ya sabéis, la magia del cicloturismo se puede vivir en solitario o también en grupo. Pedalear y disfrutar de caminos polvorientos, de campos de cultivo infinitos que cambian de color con cada estación del año, del paisaje de la Costa Brava... Es la ley de la bicicleta, con el tiempo parado a su favor y con todo un territorio por descubrir. Aquella ley no escrita que habla de conocer nuevos paisajes lejos de la ciudad, de manera respetuosa y sin prisa, por senderos poéticos, seguros y sugerentes. La que os empuja a hacer parada en una cala solitaria para bañarse y coger fuerzas y para seguir pedaleando hasta llegar, a la hora de comer, a un pueblo que desearéis tener para siempre en vuestro recuerdo.
¿Subís a la bici y empezamos a pedalear?
