At Hotel Platja d’Aro, you can rent your bicycle.

The Costa Brava offers a unique combination of landscapes, leisure, sports, culture, and gastronomy. Contrary to popular belief, the northern Catalan coast is much more than just beautiful beaches. There are hidden spots, untouched areas, and a rich history that captivates every visitor.

During your stay at Hotel Platja d’Aro, we encourage you to explore the Costa Brava: Begur, Palafrugell, Cadaqués, Tossa de Mar, Calella de Palafrugell, L’Estartit, Roses, Sant Antoni de Calonge… The list of interesting towns for excursions is endless, as are the natural parks, botanical gardens, festivals, and activities that might interest you.

The greenways connecting the deep Pyrenees of Girona and the Costa Brava are a fantastic option to discover diverse landscapes, towns, and even people by bike. We're talking about over 120 kilometers that cross five counties in the province (Baix Empordà, Gironès, La Selva, Garrotxa, and Ripollès) and are divided into four sections:

1. Iron and Coal Route: Ripoll–Sant Joan de les Abadesses–Ogassa

2. Carrilet Route I: Olot–Girona

3. Carrilet Route II: Girona–Sant Feliu de Guíxols

4. Tren Petit Route: Palamós–Palafrugell

Greenways are former communication infrastructures that have been repurposed as routes for cyclists and hikers. Most are old railway lines that retain their heritage elements, such as tunnels, bridges, or stations, offering a peaceful, sustainable, and alternative tourism option, as motor vehicles are not allowed.

Cycling allows you to discover the area at your own pace. It's an ideal active tourism alternative that complements the wide range of activities in Platja d’Aro: hiking, water sports, adventure sports, aerial activities…

If you're planning a significant bike ride, keep these recommendations in mind:

• Check the overall condition of your bicycle

• Carry spare parts and necessary tools for punctures

• Estimate the route time and consider your physical condition

• Always rely on a map or GPS

• Equip yourself with all necessary accessories

• Don't let the weather surprise you: check the forecast

Remember, at Hotel Platja d’Aro, you can rent equipment. If you need a bicycle, we'll handle the rental so you don't have to worry about a thing.
