Vies Verdes in Spain

In March 2024 my sister and I biked a Vies Verde from the Costa Brava to Girona, Spain and searching for ways to navigate from the Spanish coast to the gorgeous and ancient inland city of Girona proved to be a bit of a challenge...since I didn't know what the Green Way system was called and none of the existing blogs made it clear that there is an extensive network of amazing bike trails throughout Northeastern Spain. So, this blog is for all those folks that are looking to ride through a beautiful mix of city and country on well maintenance bike routes that are well designed and easy to follow.

To save you the hassle, here's the link to the Vies Verde website: www.viesverdes.cat/en/

These routes, which are on a mix of packed gravel, asphalt, dirt, packed sand and cobble stones, connect bikers to a few of the lovely little towns just south of the French border, including Sant Feliu de Guîxols, Girona, Banyoles, Figueres, Ripoll, and you can even take them across the border into the Pyrenees Mountains in France. 

We decided to start our trip in Barcelona, so for those folks that want to figure out how to get from Barcelona to the Vies Verdes/Carrilet II, read on!
