Bridge over the Onyar

Bridge located on the greenway that connects Olot with Sant Feliu de Guixols. It is well worth doing, even in different sections, as it allows you to see very different landscapes throughout the province.

Girona

Highlight • Settlement

They say that Girona is the real capital of Catalonia. It is a cycling destination par excellence. In addition, it is symbolically a bridge for the start and end of routes that take you to dream places, mid-mountain (Gavarres), the coast (Costa Brava and Empordà), Mountain and high Mountain (Garrotxa, Ripollés, Pyrenees).

Carrilet Greenway

Highlight • Cycleway

The Carrilet II greenway is a 39.7 km long greenway, with a gentle slope from Girona to San Felíu de Guixols (15 m) that reaches its highest point in Cassà de la Selva (136 m). Following the route of the old Girona – San Felíu de Guixols narrow-gauge train, the itinerary allows you to discover the Gironés and Bajo Ampurdán regions, from the Ter river basin to the Ridaura valley, passing through the Selva depression. The Carrilet II Greenway Nature Trail is included in the Nature Trail Network of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.

The peculiarity of the route of the railway from San Felíu de Guixols to Girona is the smoothness of slopes and curves. Its route is formed by a sinuous line mathematically drawn on the territory. Leaving Girona, the route first crosses the La Selva depression, characterized by a mosaic landscape with alternating crops and mountains. The second half of the route runs through the Ridaura valley, which separates the Cadiretes massif, to the south, from the Gavarres massif and which, with a slight unevenness, leads to the sea right in the town of San Felíu de Guixols, a town cradle of the place name "Costa Brava".

May 8, 2026,Pirinexus Cultural Heritage Route: Platja d'Aro - Girona

The Pirinexus route bids farewell to the Mediterranean coast on my fifth stage at Sant Feliu de Guíxols and leads back to Girona via the Greenway Carrilet II. On the final kilometers, the varied gravel passages offer a relaxed finale: the route runs almost without gradient through the open landscape of Gironès with its meadows and fields.
