Route Description
Following the Via Verde, the route initially goes through the back streets of the town, and then into open countryside, following a picturesque stream. The route is interesting , varied and colourful with lots of twists and turns, but always of good quality. Shortly after Cornella de Terri, we complete our journey on the Via , and then loop back towards the west side , primarily on good but scarcely used tarmac roads and minor hills. Bypassing most of Banyoles, we then drop back to the lakeside.
