Las Ruedas Ride around Montgri

Friday, 10 April @ 10:00 - 13:45

Montgrí & Montgó Circular  Ride

Meet @ 10.00 am for a 10.30 am start

This circular e-bike ride from Torroella de Montgrí covers around 33 km with 350 m of climbing, combining quiet country lanes, gravel tracks, and gentle mountain riding in the foothills of the Montgrí Massif.

After an easy start from Camelot in Torroella it’s a short cycle across the plains towards Estartit , then the route climbs steadily through pine forest towards the coast, offering wide views over the Mediterranean. A highlight is a short detour to the well-preserved Spanish Civil War gun emplacements overlooking the entrance to Montgó cove—an excellent viewpoint and photo opportunity followed by a coffee stop on the beach in the beautiful Montgó ☕ cove,

The return leg loops back inland on quiet tracks via Belcaire & Ulla, making this a scenic and sociable ride well suited to electric bikes and riders comfortable with mixed terrain.

Distance: 33 km | Climb: 353 m | Difficulty: Moderate

Estimated cycling time is 2.5 hours

The cafe bar at Camelot is usually open early morning from 8.30 am so you can grab your pre-ride coffee’s meeting at 10.00 am for a 10.30am start.  After the ride we will book a menu del dia at Camelot aiming for a return by 1.45 pm
