Cycle through Les Garrigues landscapes, full of olive trees and vineyards.
You will start your itinerary in Arbeca, where we will explain this route. You will follow Vinaixa’s Valley path, one of the five protected spaces in Les Garrigues, surrounded by white pine forests, almond and olive trees, cereals, and vineyards. You will end at La Floresta Castle.
The next day, you will continue along this valley to El Vilosell, stopping in L’Albi. Your accommodation will be at Vilosell Wine Hotel, and there you can walk around this charming village.
The trip continues along the Set River Route. It’s the most important river in the region and the majority of the year it’s dry due to the arid climate. You will arrive at Les Borges Blanques, the region’s capital.
From there, you will enjoy two more routes. The first one in the Natural Park of “Mas de Melons”, a protected and unique space; and the other one following Urgell’s Canal and the 9 waterfalls between Les Borges Blanques and Juneda.
