There are many excuses to go out cycling. And I'm sure there are quite a few of you who, when thinking about where you want to go, look for a good place to stop and recharge before heading back. This week's route is inspired by last week's: we once again take shelter by the Ter River and head upstream from Girona, but this time we extend the route, passing over the old bridge of Sant Julià de Llor to Pasteral, at the edge of the Inland Forest, next to Amer. There, two delicious breakfast options await us: the bar La Parada, with a terrace overlooking the dam, and the long-standing restaurant Can Quer, where they still grill meat in the same room where they serve the daily menu.
