Dolce Tempo Journey from Barcelona to Glorious Peaks & Mediterranean Beaches
Barcelona lures you with its irrepressible éclat, tapas and wine. Soon you're swept into the Pyrenees, traversing the French border and riding some of the best roads in Europe at your own pace. Descend to Costa Brava's beaches, with Mediterranean views that inspired Salvador Dalí—a fitting end to this leisurely adventure through one of Spain's most enticing regions.
Highlights
- Stunning views abound on picturesque routes in the Spanish and French Pyrenees that were made for e-biking
- Experience the artistic genius of Salvador Dalí, king of the surrealists, at the eponymous museum in Figueres
- Go off the beaten path to landscapes where farmers work the earth and golden fields of wheat and sunflowers blanket the countryside
- Relax at Relais & Châteaux retreats and dine on acclaimed Catalan fusion cuisine paired with wines straight from local sources
