Santa Susanna – Lloret de Mar – Sant Hilari

The route begins in the municipality of Santa Susana and crosses the delta of the Tordera River to delve into the southern end of the Costa Brava, passing through Lloret de Mar, known for its beautiful coastline, beaches, and vibrant nightlife. As the journey progresses into the inland region, you’ll immerse yourself in the lush forests of Guilleries. These forests are so dense and extensive that over a century and a half ago, they used to hide groups of bandits and guerrillas involved in the conflicts of the Second Carlist War. It’s not surprising, as the wild nature of this place made it an ideal refuge.

One notable challenge of this itinerary is the ascent to Lloret Blau, a steep climb of 3.5 kilometers with slopes reaching up to 16%. Additionally, you’ll encounter the demanding climb to Sant Hilari Sacalm, spanning 26 kilometers with slopes reaching 10%. These sections are perfect for cycling enthusiasts and offer breathtaking panoramic views of the region. In summary, this route will take you from the bustling coast of Lloret de Mar to the mysterious forests of Guilleries, providing a unique experience at every stage of the journey.
