Grand Tour Catalunya

The Grand Tour of Catalonia is a route to know, discover, live, taste and enjoy Catalonia with your vehicle. It is a journey full of journeys that each traveller can adapt to their needs, organize it as they want, drive along at their own pace, at any time of the year, and choose between a bunch of experiences. The Grand Tour of Catalonia is a circular route to discover Catalonia’s essence. It connects cultural heritage, natural landscapes, and food and wine pleasures, which define this land’s personality, in both cultural and urban environments.

Tarragona to Lleida

The twenty-first century, a Roman emperor and a gladiator walk the streets of Tarragona. A visit to the architectural spaces of ancient Tarraco marks the start of a journey that will take us to the banks of the Ebre, the great river of the peninsula as we follow its course to the delta, one of the most bio-diverse sites in the country. We will pedal along a rail road converted to a green route and follow in the footsteps of Picasso and Gaudí. The legends of Montsant and the excellent wines of Priorat will be the opening acts for the monastic silence of the Cistercian Route and Lleida, the capital of Terra Ferma.

The views of the Els Ports Natural Park accompany us on our cycling tour along the Val de Zafán Greenway, as we visit the Cathedrals of Wine and kayak on the waters of the River Ebre.

Small country roads take us through the villages of the Priorat district, whose land, as beautiful as it is rugged, produces some of Catalonia’s finest wines.

The echoes of the legend of Sant Jordi guide our steps as we walk along the walls of Montblanc before experiencing the famous peace of the Poblet monastery. The day is completed by visiting our cave-dwelling ancestors at L’Espluga de Francolí.
