An 8-day biking adventure along Spain's Bici Carril
- a former railway line that has been transformed into a bicycle route,
leading all the way to the Mediterranean Sea! The Bici Carril is a gently
graded and easy to follow trail taking us through varied rural scenery,
dotted with small Catalonian villages and sunflower fields. Starting in
the cultural and architectural wonder of Barcelona and finishing up on
the sunny Spanish coast, this biking adventure is a unique way to experience
Spain's beautiful Catalonia region.
