The Pirinexus route offers 353km of tracks in France and Catalonia for lovers of cycling, hiking, culture, history and gastronomy. Pirinexus passes through a total of 8 counties and 53 towns, including Peralada. It combines sections of Via Verde cycle tracks with other byways such as rural trails or country lanes.

The link between Catalonia and the Eastern Pyrenees makes this a cross-border cyclo-tourism network.

Alt Empordà route

El Voló - L'Escala

The Alt Empordà comarca is the first Catalan destination on the Pirinexus route. It covers a surface area of 51.8 km, with flat cyclable stretches in a very good state. Along the route we will pass through wooded areas, agricultural vineyards, rice fields and apple orchards.
History, culture, art and designation of origin gastronomy are just some of the things we can find in the comarca, famous for its north wind known as the Tramuntana.
