The holiday in Spain got off to a cold and damp start: 15°C and a couple of days of rain. Back home in Belgium it’s 23°C smiley

Anyway, today, 4 April, the temperature has gone up and the sun is shining. After a light lunch, I decided to ride into the hill range known as “Les Gavarres”. A lot of cyclists out on the road today, which is always good to see; could be TeamSky with Sir Bradley Wiggins doing some training!

The route took me from Sant Antoni to Cassa de la Selvà by the Ruta del carillet, then on to La Bisbal de l’Empordà, Calonge and return to Sant Antoni.

Sant Antoni de Calonge – Calonge – Platja d’Aró – S’Agaró – piste to Castell d’Aró – Santa Cristina d’Aró – Llagostera then to Cassa de la Selvà – road GI664 to Santa Pelliaia – Sant Sadurní de l’Heura – Cruïlles – La Bisbal de l’Empordà, road GI660 to Calonge and return to Sant Antoni.

I filmed all of today’s circuit and will endeavour to add a snippet in the days to come.

Earlier in the week, on Wednesday 2nd, to loosen up my legs after the drive down, I took my familiar trip along the cycling track once used by a narrow-gauge railway (see http://www.catalunya.com/vies-verdes-ruta-del-carrilet-ii-girona-sant-feliu-de-guixols-24-1-132)
