A fast and fun bike ride through the Gavarres to Los Angeles.

A short gravel bike route from Girona, perfect for those days when you want to make the most of your time without any complications. We start in the center of Girona and head toward Quart along the Via Verda. We offer stunning views of the city. The climb to the top is about 10 kilometers, and then we take a few meters of road to face the second part, which takes us to the to Los Angeles, one of the most emblematic sites A must-see by bike in Girona.

From Les Àngels to Girona, the route is very easy to ride. The first part is paved, but as you progress, many more paths appear on the sides, allowing you to explore and return to the main road. The most fun section is at km 25 of the route, on the left: there begins a gravel descent that will make you smile. It's great terrain for riding, with fast and very entertaining curves, ideal for enjoying yourself to the fullest.

This trail ends at the legendary Can Mascort restaurant, a perfect place to rest and recharge before returning to Girona. It's a simple but very fun route, perfect for days when you want to make a good effort without overcomplicating things.

A route that also has a reward: the first 10 cyclists who demonstrate with the GPS in the Castelli Girona store that they have done it and upload a photo or story on Instagram of the descent at km 25 mentioning @castellistore_girona will receive a gift!
