This route is a journey that combines the essence of the sea and the mountains. From Lloret, we head along the coast to Sant Pol de Mar, where we leave the Mediterranean behind us and head along winding roads surrounded by forests. The ascent to Sant Cebrià de Vallalta and Vallgorguina tests the legs, but is rewarded with spectacular panoramic views.
From Sant Celoni, the route takes us along quieter roads towards Tordera and Blanes, before a final stretch that takes us back to the coast. A varied route full of contrasts, perfect for enjoying the pleasure of cycling.
We start the route from the Central Tourist Office in Lloret de Mar, located at Carrer Alegries, 3, and head south along the GI-682 road towards Blanes.
This first section has considerable traffic, especially at peak times for entering and leaving work (from 8:00 to 9:30 and from 17:00 to 19:00), so it is advisable to avoid it at these times of the day.
Once past Blanes, we continue south along the N-II, passing through coastal towns such as Malgrat de Mar, Santa Susanna and Pineda de Mar. This segment has gentle terrain, ideal for riding comfortably before tackling the first slopes.
On reaching Sant Pol de Mar, we turn inland along the BV-5128, leaving the sea behind and entering a more wooded environment. Here begins a demanding section, with a progressive ascent towards Sant Cebrià de Vallalta, where the views over the coast and the Maresme mountains are spectacular.
We continue towards Vallgorguina on the BV-5114, a segment that combines gentle climbs and descents, winding through pine and holm oak forests. As you approach Sant Celoni on the C-35, the terrain remains varied, ideal for finding a good pace and recovering your strength before tackling the final part of the route.
From Sant Celoni we climb towards Tordera, maintaining a route surrounded by rural landscapes. This section leads us progressively towards the return, with some undulations but without great difficulties.
The last segment of the route takes us from Tordera to Lloret de Mar, passing through Blanes and following the GI-600 and GI-682. This final section takes us back to the coast, offering spectacular views and a succession of climbs and descents that put the legs to the test after the accumulated mileage.
Finally, we arrive back in Lloret de Mar, completing a route that combines the charm of the coast with the climbs inland, offering a complete experience for cycling enthusiasts.
