Carrilet II greenway is a 39.7 km route that follows the old route of the narrow gauge train between Girona and Sant Feliu de Guíxols. It is an ideal route to enjoy the nature and culture of the Gironès and Baix Empordà regions, from the Ter river basin to the Ridaura valley. The route has a gentle slope and a compacted gravel pavement, suitable for bicycles or walkers.
The route starts in Girona, a city with a rich historical and artistic heritage, where the cathedral and the Jewish quarter stand out. From Girona, the route crosses the Selva depression, a mosaic landscape where crops and forests alternate. On clear days, you can see a panorama that goes from the Pyrenees to Montseny. The route passes through villages such as Quart or Cassà de la Selva, where the traces of the cork industry can be seen.
The second part of the route runs through the Ridaura valley, which separates the Cadiretes and Les Gavarres massifs. The route descends gently until reaching the sea in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, a fishing town with an important cultural legacy, such as the Porta Ferrada monastery or the Thyssen space. From Sant Feliu de Guíxols, you can enjoy the views of the Costa Brava.

Ostersamstag
Habe im Hotel „The Bloom by Pillow“ in Girona nicht besser geschlafen als im Bulli in Olot. Vermisse meinen Bulli. Hoffentlich geht es ihm gut zwischen den Vulkanen und dem Möbelgeschäft, das kein IKEA ist. Noch eine Nacht werde ich Bulli nicht allein lassen.
